Tuesday 19th October
Today during our double lesson of Media, Lawrence and myself had discussed the problems that we came across when deciding the first idea of our music video for "Girls just wanna have fun" and this was that we do not have the funding for the costume idea that we had for this video and we spoke to our teacher about the problem that we had encountered.
We first decided that we would change our brief completely, and do a boy/punk band and ask the boys in year 12 or 13 who have their own band to perform in the video for us. We then scrapped this idea, and thought that it would be best to keep our original brief, and either change the idea for a video for the same song.
After thinking long and hard, I came up with a concept that I thought would be easily achieved but would also make a good video - this was to do a video that was mainly based on performance, which would also establish our artist identity.
The video would start with "Lucy Star" being preened by make-up artist and stylists, trying to make her look the way that the music director/ the public/industry feel that this is how she should be looking, i.e pretty and pink, blond hair etc.. singing with a white background portraying that she is meant to be a sweet and kind, pure young lady - but she rebels. We then go on to a time laps of her getting herself ready, making her self up to the person that she really is, the unique character of "Lucy Star". After this she has finished this the time laps stops, and she goes into a dark room to shoot her music video and sings the rest of the song untill the end.
After thinking about the music video that I had just thought of, we both decided that it would be better to go with the song "Material Girl" as it would fit in better with the narrative of the music video.
