Sarah Blasko twitter

We have approached Sarah Blasko to get her permission to use her song for our music video.
The evidence is shown below.
We used the social networking site Twitter in order to do so, as it was also the most convinient way; we will also be using other social networking websites such as Facebook.

Planning music video 2

Once we decided on the song we quickly brainstormed all our ideas and came up with a list of location, props and anything we could think of: Autumn, Britishness, Instruments, Band, Girl walking towards camera, Moon and stars - full moon. We researched into this in particular, finding out when the next full moon is so we can hopefully film on that day which is 10th November or 10th December; we've unfortunatly missed the full moon on the 10th November so hopefully we can catch the full moon on the 10th December instead.

This is an example and evidence of a moodboard i created with all my ideas of the location and the feel i thought the video should have to it:

After we combined all our ideas we started on the story board as soon as possible. We each went away and drew our own storyboards with all our individual ideas put on, once we had all the ideas we later merged the ideas into one storyboard trying to fit as much as possible.
Whilst brainstorming we researched all the possible locations, which later on came down to different locations of London, including Albert Bridge

Planning our music video

Over the past week, within our group, the dicussions centered around the various ideas about the music video we are going to make. Each member of the group presented their choice of song and the reasons behind their choice. Overall we chose ten songs, but narrowed it down to six and soon after the final two. The songs chosen were a mix of indie, rock and folk. We decided to focus on this area of music as we did not want to choose a typical song and artist most groups would chose, also because many people may already have a preconcieved image of what the music video should be like. Like this we would be able to do a lot more with the song and music video and be as original as possible. The selected songs were:

• Modest Mouse - Float On
• One Republic - Say (All i Need)
• No Doubt - Just A Girl
• Lucy Rose - Scar
• Laura Marling - Night Terror
• Best Coast - Boyfriend
• Sarah Blasko - We Won't Run

We then narrowed our options down to our two favourites by Laura Marling and Sarah Blasko. As the decision was very difficult we thought it would be a good idea to get an opinion from four of our other class mates, the result of the tally chart was Laura Marling 0 and Sarah Blasko 4.



Their decision was based on the fact that "We Won't Run" was more up beat and that we could do a bit more with it than "Night Terror" By Laura Marling.
