In order to choose a song and artist for our video we had to decide first on a genre. To help us with this I created a poll on my blog with the options of various genres and asked the public which genre they prefered. The majority of the public's favourite was pop and as it is also mine and Jemma's prefered music genre when considering music videos we decided to start looking at pop artists.
We looked closely at various artists and picked out the usual conceptions and typical behaviour shown in the pop videos. We couldn't however decide on a song as we wanted a strong story line to go with the song.
We then decided to look closely at Jilted Johns- Gordon is a moron as the lyrics of the song can be taken so literally it would produce a funny and interesting video. Although the genre of music isn't pop, the genre we originally decided to focus on, we could include typical pop concepts that are seen predominantly in these videos to link to the pop genre. Below are the lyrics of the song to show how simple they are and how they can be taken so literally but can be exaggerated in a humerous way.
After listening to various songs by different pop artists and from the results of our 'who is your favourite female pop artist at the moment' poll we have decided to create a music video for Britney Spears 'womanizer'. We thought that the lyrics and overall up beat tempo of the song would make for an exciting and interesting music video. After considering the Jilted Johns video we decided against using it due to its punk genre and the fact it is such an old song. Although we had some good ideas for this video, the overall idea for the womanizer video was stronger and fitted in with the pop genre. We have decided to take the meaning of the song literally, using typical concepts of pop videos and exagerating them to create a humerous music video. We shall try to include some of the context seen predominantly in similar videos, for example; in Pink's stupid girls video the characters are taken to the extreme; extreme make up, hair etc.
