Week One

Week one- I brain stormed some ideas on what I would like to include in my music video, My initial ideas for my portfolio, By exploring other types of genre such as Grime and Rap music video will support me developing my thought in order to gather my ideas. I have found some similar codes and conventions which I could include in my music video. I also brainstormed what type of transitions or effects I would like to add to my music video, location, costume, props, target audience and what character would be involved.

I would like to work with Timi and Johnson because they are reliable people, they share ideas, put their points across and they are creative. My hope and fears are that I hope that the group stays together until the end of the task and use communication skills as a group, everyone needs to be listened to and not be alienated. 

My Pitch

Beach combing

Dance choreography

I have seen a dance choreography by a group of men dancing to a mixture of Beyonce songs, this is the sort of dance I would like to put in my music video as its very sexy/ sexual but with a slower pace as my chosen song is slow. I like their style and idea of their dance routine, the link it with each song by doing what she says in the song. For example, from the song 'Upgrade you' by Beyonce a verse'Diamond creamed'facials was done in action in the dance at 54 secs of the video. 

Beyonce ft Sean Paul- Baby boy is a similar idea I would like my music video to be.
The use of camera shots/ angles such as high angle shot is used to see the females body as she's on a bed having a dream. The angle enable audiences to see how her whole body is performing at the scene. Beyonce shows how to act hot in her music video at 00.43 secs of the music video. I love dancing so at 2:06, Beyonce dance a dance routine with couple of other girls which I really would like to do something similar in my music video. At 3:22 she does a bit of belly dancing, Beyonce has inspired me to dance any type of dance and have a mixture of my own.




I would like my video to conform to 'The repetition and Difference Theory'as my song is about a girl who thought she would never be loved again and she finds her love at the end, I like the idea having a twist to my video as well as a narrative. In the Beyonce music video 'Me, Myself and I' everything is rewinding which shows the story from when it ended to how it started. The music video shows why the main character was feeling so upset and brings the audience to why and how she got upset.

I would like to wear 3 outfits in my music video, at 36 seconds of 'Never Ever' song by Ciara,  I would like to wear something similar to what Ciara was wearing in her music video as it shows that she is ready to take action by the way she is dressed. At 3:52 is also an outfit that I would like to wear at some scenes of my music video as it signifies a bit of change in the video within the character clothing and makes the music video less boring. Thirdly, at 45 seconds of 'Like This' song by Kelly Rowland I would like to also wear an all black fitted dress as the colour black connotes  being strong, shows the skin complexion more       and sexy.


















Kelly Rowland- 'Motivation' effects that is used in her music video is what I would like to use my music video as it gives high and low lighting which gives a smooth, loving and calm enviornment. Kanye West & JayZ- N***as in Paris at 25 seconds of the video and other scenes mirror effect are used which confuses audiences and I would also like to use that effect in my video.
