initially we had chosen to use the instrumental version of Sigur Ros - hoppipolla, as well as chicane's radio mix of this song - poppiholla. We were going to mix the two versions of this song together, the final song will start slow and gradually build tempo towards the end of our music video.
However after trying to mix the two songs together we realised the contrast between the two pieces of music's tempo was to big. We could not mix the two songs together without there being a very obvious mix.
We have chosen a music specifically with no words as this allows the audience to watch the music video in depth without listening to much to words. I believe that the music is very inspirational and will let the audience relate it to their own lives and ambitions.

Anamatic
We have produced an animatic by filming our storyboard and editing the clips together to give a rough image of how our music video will be put together.
Inspiration
For our music video our narrative is a girl from a working class background trying to succeed, she has been rejected because of her social class but comes back any way to show that no matter where you are from you can succeed. We have chosen to use a dancing audition to portray our narrative. We have looked at many different dancing videos and trailers for inspiration.
Step up 2 - trailer - http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1253179673/
Save the last dance - trailer - http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi813760793/
- inspiration from narrative, poor girl from a working class background.
Gerri haliwell- fame
Alisha Dixon- breathe slow
Popiholla
Inspiration for music video following black and white conventions, slow motion.

Beyonce - broken-hearted girl
This music video starts in black and white then gradually builds to colour towards the end as her mood and the narrative changes.
Video practice – Get Carter
In Preparation for filming our music we have decided to film a sequence from Get Carter, we recreated the scenes from Get Carter which allowed us to help us get used to filming with the new cameras, we practiced a range of shots from long shots to extreme close ups and also experiment with framing, we have recreated the scenes from Get Carter.
Research and Preparation
Storyline
- Poor/less off working class girl attends audition for dance production
- A number of other girls who are, neat, tidy & precise are an obvious threat to girls chances of succeeding
- The girl fails, & the other girls look down on her, snobby attitude
- Girl is really upset, feels really down, walks home alone, head down
- Goes home & cries on her bed
- Decides to stop feeling sorry for herself
- Goes out and practices dancing around her local area, in front of landmarks
- Plucks up the courage to go and attend the show she was meant to be in, with an idea in mind
- Sits in audience and realises people around her aren’t very impressed with show
- Jumps up from her seat and runs onto stage
- Intrudes on the other girls performance & puts audience at shock
- Other girl leaves stage & she starts to dance
- The room fills with a stand ovation
- The girl finish’s with a bow, to conclude her determination, happiness & success.
Moral of the story, don’t give up on your dreams, follow your heart & if you put your mind to it you can succeed despite your social status.

Stage 3
stage 2
Stage 1
After looking at our questionnaire results we have put together as storyline that reflects what our target audeince wants.
Questionnaire
We distributed our questionnaire out to 20 girls aged 10-18 as this was our target audience.
Roles
Idea 2
This is our second idea where we decided to use the song "poppiholla" by chicane. We thort that this song would be more inspirational and we would be able to fit an obvious narrative to it.
Idea 1
This was our original idea, we were particually interested in using the song "Funhouse" by pink. we thought this song would be a playful song to work with.

Reflective summary of year 12
In year 12 i produced a front cover, contents page and a two page article of a magazine. I gained photo shop, photography and editing knowledge. I learnt about the different photo angles along with framing. I didn't plan my project very well as i was left with lots of practical work at the end of my project, and in this year will plan it out a lot better.
I am going to develop on my photography and photo shop skills along with learn how to use digital movie cameras, filming and editing.
This year for my media project i will be producing a music video and working part of a team with Sarah Mcgill and Shauni Rogerson.
