My A2 Music Video Proposal

I will be making a Music Video on Natasha Bedingfield’s song Strip Me. My Music Video will be aimed at young women aged 16-30 predominantly, as they may be able to relate to the artist through experiences of their own. The secondary audience will be males aged 16-25 as less males are likely to listen to this artist.

My concept for the Music Video is mainly to do with performance and green screen scenes which will be shot on Studio Locations. These will then be cut according to the lyrics so that they flow in according to Goodwin’s view that lyrics and visuals are made to relate to one another.

The riff notes are sung one note per person and as the number of people increases so will the divisions in the screen. The screens will be limited to the person’s head in a close up. These will then switch to lyrics on-screen. The square with the artist’s face will be zoomed into until the artist a pull the screen towards them. When the words ‘strip me’ are said the artist could start undressing to reveal a variety of different costumes underneath with footage sped up. The second verse will show the artist speaking into a micro/megaphone which they chuck to the side and do a performance without.

I will use young people aged 17-18 years of age to communicate and create a relationship with the main target audience.

In order to prove this plan foolproof I would need to take a number of steps/precautions to try and avoid this. Firstly I will draw up a time-plan stating how long I intend to take on filming my Music Video and then how long I intend on taking to edit it. Next my chosen actors will need to sign a contract agreeing to meet at the times or locations specified on the time sheet if they do not comply they will be dropped from the project. Any costume/design ideas will be mind mapped originally by me and then feedback will be taken from those involved in the production of the music video to see if they agree or even if they have any ideas of their own. This will be important as it could potentially lead to good ideas and shows a sense of responsibility to the audience in that you are trying to produce a Music Video of as high quality as possible.

I would like to air my music video on the MTV music channels primarily and secondarily on KISS and Smash Hits as they are widely viewed around the world and have their own personal companies through which it could even distribute the song. For example MTV owns Rhaphsody and Lyricsmode.com; this is important as Rhaphsody is available on mobiles using Android, IOS and Blackberry OS therefore this could boost song sales. Lastly I would like to do a premier of the music video on YouTube which as a global platform and 3^rd most visited site will definitely spread awareness.

Location Recce

In my Location Recce I took pictures of places/locations where I thought I could shoot my Music Video.

 The first place I thought of was School. If I need to shoot using a green screen and professional lighting this would be the best place to do it.

The next few places I thought of  were Shopping Centres  because shopping centres can be very scenic places to shoot with lots of good colours and eycatching/interesting things going on.Up above I took pictures of Westfield in Central London, The Chimes in Uxbridge, St George's and St.Anns Shopping Centres in Harrow and lastly Lakeside Shopping Centre in Thurock. However the last one would probably be a difficult to use because it's so far away.

The next place I thought of was one of the many places in Central London. Its very busy and exciting and there are many interesting places to shoot a video .

Train Stations can be situated in very scenic places and moving shots from a Train after a bit of editing can also look very impressive.

Media Project Brief

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
· a website homepage for the band;
· a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package);
· a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package).

I have chosen this Brief for my A2 project because I believe it will be an interesting experience for me both as a student and an individual. As a Student I've never had the chance to make a music video before so it will be an educational experience which will allow me todevelop my skills as a media student. I also think that personally, it will be fun to make a music video :)

Looking at the length and size of the task I do anticipate some problems (mainly the maintenance and upkeeping of my Blog and learning to handle the technical side of Production.) However I do believe the creative aspects of the project will present an easier target for me to reach.
