Mood Board: Music Video

On fridays lesson we finalised our ideas for our music video and put them all together on a mood board. Here are the main sections of our mood board which highlight the major elements that we will look to feature in our music video:

We decided to change the name of the artist we were originally given in our brief , we came up with DJ DES.

In previous music video we have looked at we found that one of the main characteristics was bright colours; we
took this feature into consideration and thought that the best location to carry out the filming of our video was
Brighton.

Due to the fact that the location we chose was very bright, colourful and fun- it was only right that the costume
matched the same concept. This is the reasoning behind the 70s inspired clothing which we hope to use.

After watching numerous other music videos we really liked the concept of time lapse, so we want to include
 an element of time lapse at the beginning and end of the music video. 

This is the mood board as a whole,  we included costume, time lapse, location, influences and lyrics.

In todays lesson we finally chose a music video brief that we thought best suited what we wanted to do, the chosen brief was:

After researching each of the song choices, we decided that we did not like any of the suggested songs and therefore searched for other songs which related to the same brief. Our chosen song was, Basement Jaxx 'Do Your Thing':

In todays lesson we got given our music briefs, our brief was:
"You have been asked to devise and make a promotional music video for the new act detailed below. As a new act, the record label is keen that this first release appeal to a wide audience and establish an image that is both recognisably unique and appealing to their target audience. With this in mind, their first release will be a cover version and will be used as a platform for future original releases. The record label is happy for this release to be any of the three songs listed below and would like you to choose whichever one you can make a dynamic promo for, as the key thing is to get them exposed"

The brief we were given could be applied to seven different artists these included:
-Magma (DJ )
-Good Girlz Bad (Girl band)
-Black Hole (Rock band)
-Smooth Criminals (Boy band)
-Tom Spencer (Solo Male Artist)
-Tonic (Boy band)
-Lucy Star (Solo Female Artist)

I will be producing this music video with Emily Neil and Sarah Barker, we thought this would be a good group to work in as we are able to take into consideration one anothers ideas and opinions; in order to get the best visual results.
