Mood board

This is my personal mood board that I have worked on, as the one on our group blog is not working properly.

Make-up design

I have also completed the make-up design, it took me a lot of time to consider how our artist will look so in the end I came up with this:

These two are the main designs that I am going for, They are simple but it will bring out artists features and also most music videos have a lot of make-up used to transform the artist. I strongly feel our artist should have this simple look for when she enters the house becuase there may be points where she will cry and I wanted to have a close-up of the tears running down her face. This could be used as a cut away.

The middle left hand side, this is what I am going for during the performance. Afterall, the performance of the artist is the main thing and that is what sells the artist the most. The bottom left hand side is the lipstick I want to use. This will attract the male viewers- voyeorism.

Here are some of the hairstyles that I could use on the artist....

Costume design

I have completed the costume design and I have done this so it revolves around our artist. Also, I have put up some suggestions of what our artist could look like.

Here are the designs:

This is the boys costume design, I do know that we don't really need to do the boys costume design but I feel if we are going to make this a perfect music video then I need to focus on everything that will be shown in front of the camera.

Here is the girl's costume design, I did have to spend a lot of time thinking about what she has to wear because I don't want to go 'over the top' with her outfits because she will be at a house so it does have to be a little realistic. However, most music videos are 'over the top' because teh viewer feel out of place and that engages them even more. I have chosen some designs that are fit to be used in a house and also I have chosen some 'over the top' outfits that could be used at the performance. Now all I ahve to do is make sure our artist has most of the things underneath.

So far as a group!

We have found a new artist so we can now start our recording and this makes things easier because our main problem was based on finding an artist. 


I have created the costume and make-up designs and I have made a recording plan which we will stick to, if we could. I have also researched some music videos that have influenced us for our video.

Sarah has researched some more music videos that have influenced us and she is doing a great job at creating the artist logo. She is also working on the questionnaire for the audience and she has done the lyrics analysis.

Becky is working very hard to finish off the storyboard on time for the recording.

As a group, we have created the mood board, the ideas for the pitch, artist’s name. also me and Sarah  have recorded a discussion we had about our problems and progress so far.

Our idea in depth

I think Sarah did a great job of coming up with the concept for this songs, she has thought of main idea of her returning home. As a group, we have developed them further and have created this overall idea.

At first, we tired to link the lyrics and the visuals which were fine because we thought about what the word has connotations of.
Here is our idea in depth, what we will be doing and what is our idea for each line.

Videos that influence us- Adele 'Make You Feel My Love

•  This music video contains the artist being in one location and we like this because it focuses on the emotive side of the song. We, as a group have decided that we will also we recording in a house, however, we do want to change the location slightly so our artist will be moving around the house- going to different rooms. We will do this because it sets the sense that the house is empty without the male artist and the female artist can feel the loneliness through his things being there. We have also decided that we will be going to Richmond Hill to record the performance side of the song.

·         Another idea that influenced us from this music video is that the artist wear’s her boyfriend’s jumper. I like this idea very much because it shows that the artist is feeling lonely and she is missing him. Also the lyric of our song is ‘I’m still here’- this suggests that the female artist is waiting for him to come back. She wants things to go back to normal and we can examine this through the lyrics of the song.

·         Also idea that I like is when the artist is near the window and the music video ends on an extreme close-up of her face this clearly states her facial expressions on her face.

Video that influenced me- Bruno Mars 'It Will Rain'

• This music video had influenced me a lot as well, when it cuts from the moments the artist has spent with his girlfriend to the performance would work very well with our music video a well. The cuts ot those moments emphasis the emotiveness of the song and this is what we are trying to do.
• Another idea that really influenced me is when the scene of twilight was played by the projector. This could also work extremely well with our music video, if we record moments the couple have spent together.
