Through creating a 'Pop' music video that includes advertising a young girl band to bring across the image of young, sexy, stylish and feminine to a large audience by using different camera work, movements and angles it helps us to show the respresentation in our work.
In our project we are representing Female Artists/Groups. Typically girl bands are instantly associated with the idea of being seductive and feminine, but me and my group wanting to challenge the typical conventions and respresent our girl band as being more stylish rather than just sexy or seductive.
Respresentation is very important when making a music video because

Promotional Photo
These images are imaged we have created to use as are 'Promotional Photos' for our company that will be included in our CD booklet that we are going to produce later on in our project. We decided to use the color red as rouge means red so we thought that color would feel in well with the theme of our logo.
Timeline - our plan.
We have created a timeline of what we plan to have completed in the next month and the order we plan to do this in. We have produced the dance and are in the stage of practising and learning the dance rountine. Now that we have started practicing the routine and are in the stage of filming practice shots of it to see if there are any changes that need to make in it we are focusing on getting the rest of our work done.
The next part of our agenda is to produce the storyboard for our video, this is the most crucial part of the project as we have to plan what will use and what work well together and what locations we are going to use to shoot our video in.

digital technology
The digital technology we are going to use when producing our media practical will be a video camera so we can capture the right shots and bring the video together, a hand held camera/ black photography camera so we can get good quality shots for our CD cover and photo shoots as the higher quality the camera is the better the pictures will come out and the more our outfits/make-up will stand out more in the photos.
The other type of digital technology we will be using will be an editing machine because then we can edit the video and photos to make the shots look continuity and not out of place. This will make each cut look invisible and the video will flow through without it stopping or shots looking out of place.
We will also be using photoshop to edit our logo and pictures on so we can change the contrast and the brightness.

video ideas
Through researching various artists we had many different ideas that we wanted to create such as recreating Pixee lott, the Sugarbabes etc, until we finally decided to come together as a big group and do a band that had a number of people so we could all contribute and play a part in the recreation. After alot of thought we decided to choose 'The Saturdays'.
It was hard narrowing the search down, because we had numerous ideas and we all had different ideas and thoughts about what we could do.
Pixee Lott - 'turn it up' was a option we thought are choosing because shes young, trendy, fits into the pop genre we were set on creating and her music is good and really catching. She appeals to a young target audience and we felt shes young and stylish and people look up to her, so we thought she would be a good person to follow and she is seen as a role model and it very popular in the music industry because of her catchy songs and videos.
Sugarbabs - 'about a girl'. Instead of doing a solo artist and only having one member of our group doing the most work and the others being the backup dancers we thought a group would be more fair as eveyrone would have a part to play and could contribute to the practical fairly. The Sugarbabes are made up of a girl group of three that appeal to a young target audience and bring across a sexy image. We decided we could recreate this girl band because their video includes a dance rountine which we wanted to do, there music is catchy and we liked the ideas of there being a few people singing rather than only one of our group doing most of the work.
The Saturdays - 'Work'. The Saturdays were the ones which finally stood out to us the most, as we had a group of 4 people so we decided we wanted to create a girl band so we could all contribute into being a part of the video. The Saturdays bring across a sexy and seductive image by the costumes and make up they wear, expecially in their video work which attracted many viewers. We particulary liked this song because of the dance rountine, the upbeat catchy music and the way the video looked constantly appealing and moving.
As you can see from the information above we did have a lot of different artists we were thinking of creating before we finally stuck with 'The Saturdays, Work'.

conventons of our chosen genre.
Genre is a expressive style of music that a band or singer chooses to follow and create.
The genre we have specifically chosen to create is 'Pop' and to do this we are going to recreate 'The Saturdays' band by bringing across the same image as they do which is sexy, we are going to target a young audience like they do which is 14 - 20 year olds, most probably females. We came to a decision of creating the pop song 'Work'.
To reflect the pop genre in our music video we are going to have to come across as young and trendy by dressing in fashionable clothes and not looking to old and boring. The genre pop can be reflected through us using bright colors and and copying the image that The Saturdays and Pixee lott bring across to their target audience.
The typical conventions of a girl band for a music video are that they wear fashionable outfits, either quite bright colors to go with the theme of the video and the song or all in black to fit in with the sexy image they tend to bring across. The pop genre music video tends to include a dance rountine which is quite simple so there audience can catch the moves and dance along so it appeals to their target audience as it makes the video more interesting to watch.
The videos a pop genre creates are usually set outdoors walking down a road or dancing outside etc, or in a studio on a plain black or white background but this all depends on their song as the vdeo tends to relate to the lyrics in the song.
In the video we have chosen, 'Work', is set inside with them doing a dance routine on a large stage with dark lighting and flashing spotlights to make the girls stand out and look effective. It also shows various shots of each of the girls alone or sat on a sofa leaning against a prop such as steps.
The video is set in a variety of places and they cut from shot to shot to make the video more interesting and appealing to their audience.
