Mood Boarding

Mood Board
This is our mood board, which we've tried to focus on a fun and girly vibe. There are lots of images of balloons, lips, settings and outfits; things that connote youth and femininity. But there are also pictures that contradict with this theme.
 
These pictures show the general star image that our main performer (Matilda) with items like knitted jumpers, lace skirts, dresses and signature red lipstick.

Planning - Storyboarding and Analysing Lyrics

 

 

Analysing the Lyrics

We have analysed the lyrics for our chosen song - 'Broken Hearted' by Karmin. This is what we think the lyrics meant and how we can expand it in our music video.

Locations

We wrote down all the locations that we could consider using while filming.

Location One: 
We are planning to use this small cafe called 'Cafe Green' down New Malden High Street for this first narrative with Toby. We think this will be good because it is a quiet place and the interior design is very girly and romantic.

 Location Two:
We would like to film the rapping parts in London preferably somewhere urban and has street arts. We were thinking of using places around Aldgate East such as Hanbury Street. The artwork will make the footage colourful and happy which is what we want for pop. The retro, urban look of the street helps emphasise the sass needed from the artist.

 Location Three:
We wanted to switch between different places with different backgrounds and we think this will be a good area to shoot with the unique graffiti. This place will likely to be quiet which helps setting up and filming.

Location Four:
We thought this could be another place that will be good for filming because of its unique graffiti shutters. However, we need to be there very early in order to have the shutters on video.

Location Five: 
Kingston Bridge will be a good area where we can film the main artist walking around with friends and chilling and it can look very natural as we are fimilar with the place.
 Location Six:
Canbury Gardens is the location that we are going to use for the second narrative with John. This location is peaceful therefore it suits our narrative.

Costumes

We have listed the costume style that would be ideal to have for our music video.

Videos For Inspiration



It's My Birthday - This video gave us inspiration for our own as we like the idea of the split screen that is used in this video








In this video we liked the idea of a very girly video with lots of pastel colours, we also like the idea of using balloons









In this video the graphics stood out to us as we want to use some graphics in ours
