The group is deciding on a song to make a music video for. They have considered and rejected several options like "The Pussy Cat Dolls – Beep" and "Destiny's Child - Lose My Breath". They also initially chose "Don't Know Why" by SoundGirl but later decided it was too summery. Group members each proposed different song choices like "Cascada – Evacuate the Dance Floor" and got input from classmates before deciding to do a music video for "Kelly Rowland – Commander".

2.  As a group, we have decided to choose our own
songs that we would like to make a music video to
and then we will decide on the final song. We will
do this by all giving our opinion on what song
choice is best and what idea is best for the music
video. We will then get our class mates to vote on
the best ideas for the music video and song choice
and then we will decide our final song choice.

3.  The Pussy Cat dolls – Beep
This song was rejected because we felt that it was
not upbeat enough and that in some parts of the
song was too slow. We think that this isn‟t the best
song choice to make a music video too.
 Destiny Childs- Lose my Breath
This song was rejected because even thought it
was quite an upbeat song, it was too fast to lip
sync too and also we felt that it would be hard to
create as their music video for their song is very
popular and well known.

4.  Our group originally decided that the song „Don‟t
Know Why‟ by SoundGirl was our final song choice.
However, after looking back at the video, we
decided we no longer wanted this to be our final
song choice because we felt it was too summery
and not upbeat enough. Also I don‟t think we all
really liked the song as much as we did and so I
don‟t think we would have enjoyed making it or
had as many creative ideas for the video.

5.  I think that we should follow a range of styles to
make our music video unique and stand out. I think
the style should be narrative but performative and
concept based at the same time so that we have a
bit of each in the music video.
I think this will make it more fun and enjoyable to
make but at the same time challenging and
enjoyable to watch.

6.  We‟ve decided that we all want to be in the video
however we think that we should get other people
to be part of the video for the dancers and if none
of us want to be the lead singer then we will
audition someone to be the lead female singer.
 We will also auditions boys for the male part of the
music video as their is a part where there is a male
rapping and singing.
 We will audition people for all these roles and then
decide and make a final decision, the auditions will
be filmed on camera.

7.  My song choice is Cascada – Evacuate the dance
floor.
 I chose this song because it is very upbeat and
energetic and I think it would be enjoyable to make
a music video to. Also I think that it will not be too
hard to lip sync to and I think it would be
reasonable to edit and not to difficult to know
when to cut the video and not.
 We would be able to get a few creative ideas for
this music video and then put all our ideas together
to make a successful and enjoyable music video.

8.  We do not have a firm idea of our music idea but we
have a few little ideas that we can expand on and get
our class mates views on and then finalise our idea.
 I have an idea of creating a club atmosphere. At times
the music video will be performative, where it will still
have the club atmosphere and this will be created
through the lighting such as flashing lights, maybe
UV lights and through the clothing and make-up. At
other times the video will be narrative where you will
see the music video cut to a room full of people
dancing with again, flashing lights etc, with close
ups, long shots and panning of people.
 We will also have scenes where the camera focuses
on people who are professionally dancing.

9. Name of song: Commander
Artist: Kelly Rowland
Year of release: 2010

The reason as to why I have decided that Kelly Rowland –
Commander, would be a good song to use when recreating a
music video is because the song is upbeat and the lyrics are at a
medium speed which means that when it comes to lip syncing the
song it should be an easier task.

10. The current ideas which I am thinking of doing
with this music video is filming a group of
teenage girls at a party dancing to this song.
First of all we can see the girls “glamming”
themselves up before the beat drops in of the
music which will then switch to them partying.
In the videos we could have dancers dancing
to the music as well as shots which will be
filmed in the studio of the singer, singing the
song.
To interest teenagers into our music video, we
should aim to make it as lively as possible,
with strobe lights, good fashion, different
groups of people and making it look fun!

 I propose that we should recreate the music
video „Up‟ by The Saturdays, it is a fast paced
„pop‟ music genre type video which would be
easy to recreate and lip sync too. I have
chosen a „pop‟ genre type video as it is easy
to mix a narrative and performative storyline
with.

13.  I think that it would best to combine both of
these storyline types but with a wider focus on
the performative type as the song is fast paced
and one you would expect to dance to. As a girl
group it is easier to create a performative type
video as only dance moves would need to be
choreographed as well as lighting techniques and
editing. The narrative part of the music video
could involve all members in our group and show
us pushing away several men showing us „in
control‟ as mentioned in the lyrics.

14.  The song I have chosen to record our music video to
is Ian Carey Project – Get Shakey.
 I think that this song will be a fun and enjoyable song
to perform to as this can relate to being young.
 The song is very up-beat which leads up to the beat
dropping which will get the audience listening and
because it is a known song and the lyrics are catchy it
will be enjoyable to watch the video.

15.  The type of music video that will be enjoyable
for the audience would be narrative. This is
when the music video tells a story, in which I
think is enjoyable for the audience as you will
want to keep watching.
 Also within the music video it may be a good
idea to have some aspects of performative
within as this will be more interesting for the
audience as you are mixing different
techniques.

17.  To decide which proposal to use, the class we
are presenting them to will decide which one
most of them preferred. The one that is most
favoured will be chosen for our music video
to be recreated to.
