1. Initial ideas

The mind map above shows some of our initial ideas into the creation of our music video. We had to think about various aspects of music videos and what they include. For example, we looked at potential artists and tracks we could do.

However, this had to be from a British artist with a song without an official music video. This narrowed the selection process down as there were now only a small number of artists and tracks we could do as most of the songs we were thinking of already had official music videos and the majority of the artists were not British. However, this also made our decision slightly easier as there were now only a limited number of songs from a selected number of artists we could choose from.

We also had to think about the genre we wanted our video to be. We narrowed this down quickly to either rock, indie rock or indie pop. We thought we should pick one of these genres to base our video on as the majority of artists and songs we could potentially do are from these genres. Furthermore, we also thought that these genres would be the most suitable to our target audience as we found that a lot of people we asked listened to one of these three genres.

Costume was another feature we had to look at. This concerned people that are going to be in a music video. We had to discuss ideas about what artists from each genre wore in their videos. For example, a lot of artists in Indie rock videos wear dull coloured clothes. This will reflect what actors in the music video will wear.
