Influences

Me and my group decided we were going to produce a girl band music video. We researched various different artists and bands before deciding that we were going to recreate a girl band as we all wanted to be involved in the video and had a lot of ideas to make it appealing and interesting to watch. Procuding a girl band would be the best option for us because then all of us could be involved in the video and it would be an interesting task to do. We finally decided to re-create the video 'Work' by 'The Saturdays'. This was the one video we all agreed that we liked and we could re-create our own version of the video and the band.
Most girl bands fall into the genre of 'Pop' and some of their songs tend to be quite cheesy. We felt that the genre pop could be quite a simple yet an effective genre to use for our video, example of this genre include; girls aloud and the sugarbabes.
We watvhed and analysed a few of their music videos but decided that it was definiate we were going to do the 'The Saturdays, Work' as it was more appealing to what we were going for. The girls are a similar age group to us so it would be easier for us to appeal to as we know what girls are age want to see and it would be easier for us to target our target audience.
We also all agreed on their music and had a lot of ideas how we would set this music video up, such as the location, costumes, dance rountines. We wanted to include a dance routine to fit in with the conventions of the 'pop' genre, and felt we could do this with the song we chose.
