Example Shoots - Planning List
we used this as a sheet to plan specific scenes so we knew exactly where everything was going to go. This also allowed us to add bits and rearrange if needed

VidEG Genre 8 P!nk - U + Ur Hand
ACT: P!nk
We would like to recreate some of the costumes in this video. We liked the way the leather effect has been used here, this is something we would like to recreate. We also like the heavy eye make up as we hope this is something we could take influence from for the bathroom scenes.
We also like this biker look.
We like this Cruella Deville look as this was based on a femme fatale. The range of close ups combined with the lace add to the effect wanting to be created.
We like the wigs that have been used for example the red one in this, showing a dominating power. We also like the costume idea however it is a little revealing, however we hope we could tone this down a touch.
This shot is important as it shows that P!nk does not want to be labelled as a slut.
In this shot P!nk is shown to be in a gym working out. This therefore showing off a significant amount of flesh.
We also like the close up in these shots.
We like this as it has intertextuality from i thought snow white and the evil queen... however i might be totally wrong from this!

VidEG Genre 7 P!nk - Perfect
ACT: P!nk
TRACK: Perfect
In this video we really like the layering effect, and the way the effects works.

MAIN AUDIENCE: Male and Female 15-24

VidEG Genre6 P!nk - Blow Me (One Last Kiss)
ACT: P!nk
There are 2 official videos for this one is in colour and another is in black and white. both are directed by Dave Meyers
In this video there are many influences that we hope to take from this, such as the wedding dress, but also some of the shot ideas. I also really like the lace over the eyes we hope to buy some of this to possibly recreate the same look as I think it adds a very different dimension.
The other thing we liked was P!nk turning up to a wedding wearing black being sat at the back and being isolated from everyone else singing the lyrics and looking on at the wedding progressing. I also love the fact there is 2 edits of this, as one is in black and white and other is in colour.

Bad Romance - Test Footage
We edited together the filming we did in the recording studio, and we're pretty happy with how it turned out, obviously a lot of the song has not been edited and there are a few points where we could do with more footage to insert, but for now, we are very happy with it. We will be using this to get some feedback on how charlie performed as Gaga.

Hitchcock Reference In Bad Romance (Cameo)
We've noticed in one of the verses were are references to Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo, ... All of course Hitchcock films! Hitch was famous for always briefly cameoing in his own films.... So we shall too!

VidEG Genre5 Nicki Minaj - Anaconda
ACT: Nicki Minaj
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUALS + LYRICS:
There is no link between the visuals and the lyrics making this a concept and performance video.
GENRE CHARACTERISTICS:
this links closely with the pop but also the rap genre as nicki minaj seems to straddle both on a regular basis. It has the objectification elements of Laura Mulveys theory in rap but also slightly in pop but also works closely with pop to show the 'empowerment' of women.
INTERTEXTUALITY?
Non that i recognise.
STAR TREATMENT:
PACE + ANY VARIATION OF PACE:
There is a variety of pace and a couple of noticeable drops in the song.
SHOT VARIETY + NO. OF SETUPS:
They use a variety of shots and a number of different locations. However they were all filmed as a scene rather than in a natural locations.
DIRECTOR STYLE:
The director works with a number of famous artists collaborating songs using a lot of effects. They all have the same similar themes.
TRACK: Anaconda
YEAR: 2014
DIRECTOR: Colin Tilley
GENRE: Rap
MAIN AUDIENCE: Male and Female 15-24
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUALS + LYRICS:
There is no link between the visuals and the lyrics making this a concept and performance video.
GENRE CHARACTERISTICS:
Non that i recognise.
PERFORMANCE, NARRATIVE AND/OR CONCEPT?:
Performance and concept.
Performance and concept.
PERFORMANCE STYLE:
provocative, with close up and extreme close ups of her bum and chest as this is what she is known for. This also links closely to the genre as Rap is typically male skewed audience therefore has to appeal, but as she is female can also closely link her fans to females as she is shown to be strong and independent.
STAR TREATMENT:
There is heavy focus on nicki minaj however there is also focus on Drake who features at the end of the video who gets a lap dance off nicki minaj.
PACE + ANY VARIATION OF PACE:
There is a variety of pace and a couple of noticeable drops in the song.

VidEG Genre4 Jessie J - Bang Bang
ACT: Jessie J
The song focus's on the empowerment of women. The song features 3 female solo singers, singing individually but also collaboratively. Each has brought their own style to create a video with lots of 'flare'.
The video opens with the titles of the starts which are going to be featured in the video using bright neon pink font in a bold sans serif font
But mainly to attract a male audience to the video by using male gaze, using provocative poses and close ups.
There is also a series of shots in which the 3 solo singers are in shots collaboratively - this is more apparent towards the end of the music video.
This screen shot is a prime example of 'women empowerment' showing the protagonist at the front and in shot with a band of women behind cheering.
Another example of this would be Nicki Minaj and her rap influences have enabled a certain amount of objectification to women in order to appeal to a male audience.
For me, personally, i think the video isn't memorable and has no real wow factor, or produces anything that i think would be worthy to include in our own video. However on the contrary they all still pursue their own individual branding which could be argued as being a advertising themselves as a brand.

VigEG Genre3 Delilah - Love You So
ACT: Delilah
I came across this whilst looking at another example from the same director. He works with many mainstream artists and also does a bit of work alongside for L'Oreal.
The video works on a concept and performance basis. And takes already existing footage from various locations and scenes.
There is a lot of performance within the video and this is shown just using a plain background for most. The video is kept fairly simple with a few special effects being used. The effects used do work really well. Some of these include slow motion which is used quite a bit.
There are a series of close up and extreme close up shots.
One of the effects used is this layering effect:
However what I also like is the variety of shots but also the cleanliness of some of the shots that look simple but so well excecuted for example the shot below:
Although I do like the background it must after some time it does start to look a little clinical having said that, i realise this is the look she was going for.
There is also a series of other scenes that are not related making this video performance with concept but could also be argued narrative due to the couple involved but I dont agree.
