Complete Rethink of whole idea!

Our original idea to produce a music video on the song Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders about female power and control is now no more! 

After looking at footage that we recently filmed and uploaded we have decided that the idea, although we believe to be very good, is going nowhere and seems to be slightly too challenging for us to pull off. Our main reason for this was that the location we used (drama studio) seemed to lack the atmosphere we were trying to create, and therefore the mise-en-scene was a complete disaster!

SO........

Our new song choice is a song by the Country Music mega star Taylor Swift, and it's called 'Sparks Fly'. This song is a typical song of Taylor Swift  that many teenage girls love to listen to, including the members of our group. We are hoping that the fact we enjoy the song will encourage and inspire us to create a more interesting and entertaining music video. Although we were advised not to choose a popular artist due to worries of copying the image of their video, we thought that because this particular song didn't have a video that this could be avoided! 

The main theme and narrative of the video will compliment the lyrics and the story will be a typical boy meets girl relationship, showing a split screen of two different couples. Myself and Josie will play the two female leads and we now need to cast two male actors for the other parts. 

Since we discussed this idea we have been finding it difficult to find one male lead let alone two, but we are hoping someone soon will be brave enough to help us out! 

Although this idea change has was sudden and stressful we feel it is definetely the right direction to be heading in as the original idea just wasn't going the way we originally planned! As both Josie and I know the song very well, we have already delegated certain lines to lip sing and act to and story boarding is already going very well in such a short space of time. 

We have been watching Taylor Swifts other videos as we are aware she is a huge star and very successful, so we hope to find some more inspiration to help us create an amazing music video. To be sure we don't find ourselves copying her image we are going to make the image of the main characters edgier instead of Taylor Swifts image of the 'American Sweetheart'.

We hope this change goes well. Fingers crossed. :)
