Selecting the song

To hekp make our music video more realistice, we chose to find a voice that could be possibly sung by the actor. This rules out black singers, as they tend to have stronger voices such as Beyonce; and male singers because our actor will be female.
Relating back to our research, we have decided to use one of Paloma Faiths songs. However we could not decide what song to use, which resulted us to put all her music songs in a hat and randomly pick a song. In the end we chose Paloma Faiths "Smoke and Mirrors". This is the song we are going to use in our video.

pop video research

To help us brain storm ideas for our pop video, we decided to use the internet and search professional pop videos and other A2 media music videos they created in the past.
In all the videos we watched, we focused on the costume, camera angles and how they're constructed. At this point, we did not focus on any song that we wanted to use, otherwise we believed we would be tempted to copy the music video and not go with our own ideas.
One of the Artists we focused on was Paloma Faith. In her videos she provides a range of costume designs, settings and camera angles.

Aim

My task is to create a music pop video. As part of the task, my group must chose what song they we want to do, who is going to do what and the story line of the video.
