Thomas (left) was originally going to be the lead singer of the band with Izzy and Freya being the guitarists and backing vocalists. However due to the shooting schedule and people not being available at certain times it was difficult to be organised with the filming. So I decided to go ahead with just Shannon expressing the idea of freedom as my idea did not have to change drastically. Both Tom's, Izzy's and Freya's style naturally adjusted to the 'indie' style, their mannerisms can be interpreted in many different ways which is typical for an 'indie' genre as they focus on the narrative, so this is why I chose to cast them. Shannon has a very alternative so she was going to be the stereotypical 'butch' woman within a lesbian couple. However Verity is typically feminine with her clothing so she would be the one who expresses herself within the relationship, whereas Shannon would be the one masking her identity. This is juxtaposed within my mu...

This is my original storyboard which shows frame by frame what I intend to include within my music video. I believe that throughout the things that I have included there are connotations of fear and freedom, and these two ideas juxtapose one another.  However I have decided to be more simplistic with my idea, and film Shannon doing some expressionist dance moves, both representing happy and sad emotions so the two juxtapose each other. Also I have decided to film fireworks and facial expressions, so that these can be put in between Shannon's dance moves so it breaks it up more and adds more depth.

My mindmap of ideas is extremely basic. As my research and planning develops I will conclude more ideas and creativity to help form my music video. I may conform to conventions or I may challenge them. 

Below is my embedded presentation on slideshare, which has the visual album covers (front and back) and also the advert that was used to promote the album. I have gone through the different elements ;that are included within adverts and digipaks, what they connote or represent to the audience and also whether or not the elements used are conventional; how they are or aren't conventional and what these elements also suggest about the genre, the band or the narratives. Analysing Adverts And Digipaks from Chloe Owen

Above is an embedment to my focus group where I am asking them questions about music videos that they have watched and how each element appeals to them. With this research, I can develop my planning of my music video and used the aspects that they find appealing as these two people are my target demographic so therefore I know that the elements that I include from real media texts will appeal to my audience.
