Yasmin & Ellie
 The lyrical meaning - portraying a person
who is being judged.
 Act as a superhero – she will save the day in
tasks.
 It will be a secret identity.
 Her Mum will appear unhappy with the way
she acts at home as she is always out.
 Narrative will involve:
 - Her normal life to her heroic life.
 - Saving a loose dog from running away,
fighting a criminal etc.

 We used both Google forms and a word
document, overall:
 Most popular age group between 14-18 years
(male mostly)
 90% of peer group enjoy watching music videos
 People like the song to relate to the video.
 Both performance and narrative were enjoyed
 Videos are often watched on YouTube
 Varied locations were most enjoyed
 Highest rated genres were pop, dance music and
deep house
 Type of genre we and others
enjoyed most (got from
questionnaire) this was
electronic/dance/house/pop
music.
 Also target audience is 16-22
years and this genre fits in with
what's most preferred with
people of that age
 We decided on this song as we
both like and we felt that it
would be enjoyable to make a
music video to it.
 Decided on a performance, that
contained a narrative video as it
was most preferred in our peer
group, and therefore we can
adjust the video.
 We are representing youth
culture because:
 Young people are often
represented as being lazy and a
negative part of society,
especially in public – we are
subverting this as our characters
are being helpful.
 We are representing women
because:
 Women are referred to as having
a ‘glass ceiling’ and are not
allowed to be strong and
powerful – yet are character is a
‘superhero’.
 Most of our budget will be spent on costume as we are using
natural, and local locations. Our budget is low and we will be
using some of our own props for costume.
 We already have black leggings, a black top and black shoes.
 We will need some casual clothes and pajamas, we already have
these.
 A park - we are going to use Upminster park as it is local and practical.
 A house - we both live in houses so wither will be appropriate.
 A pavement, for pedestrians - We live in a town so we are going to use local roads -
for example Deyncourt Gardens.
 A bus - there a several bus routes that run around Upminster, such as 346, 248 and
370.
 We are going to use these bus routes to ensure that we use that location.
 Tesco, or a similar shopping centre - We will most probably have to ask permission
to use the store.
 A gym – we can use free weights etc in the house.
 An alley – there is an alley local to us near the station.
 A book
 Keys
 An oyster card
 Costume
 A bed
 A wardrobe
 We are making sure our filming goes to plan
by checking the following:
Risk What could
happen
How we would
overcome it
Bad weather,
e.g. Rain.
The actor could
fall over and
hurt herself or
it could ruin
the setting and
our character
would get
soaking wet.
Look at weather
reports and make
sure we don’t film
on a day where it
will rain.
Camera could
break or run out
of battery.
We would not
be able to film
and our work
would be in
late.
Make sure the
camera is charged
and turned
on/working the
day before.
Dark alleys or
filming in the
Something
dangerous
Keep in an area
that is well lit and
