Idea Change (again)

We came up with three separate elements for the video, including a performance.

ELEMENT NUMBER ONE - MISS GUIDED ADVERT

We took inspiration from an Irish advert for the fashion shop, Miss Guided. We would like to capture some of the sass and attitude from the video. It is very much in keeping with the genre.

ELEMENT NUMBER TWO -ROLLER-SKATING

We wanted to include a roller-skater in the video, something about the fun, cool and sightly retro aesthetic of rollerskating fitted with the feel of the song.

Song Choice (Take Two)

Unable to come up with a song that the group all liked, we decided to choose one that we all hate instead. Phil suggested a pop song so we found I Got My Eye on You by Nari and Milani. The song is horrible and repetitive but very much a part of the mainstream pop/dance genre.



The Pros of Using This Song:

• It isn't very well known.
• It has a music video already, but it's rubbish (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5YScVbr2Zc)
• Pop music is the most popular and generic genre.

Scrapping the Woodkid Idea

We concluded that Iron by Woodkid is becoming too popular. It has been on several adverts and we were advised to drop it before it becomes too mainstream. For example, the Assassins Creed: Revelations advert, a Levis advert and - most recently, a surprisingly dramatic advert for Volvic bottled water.

Additionally, our concept is dangerously similar to the original video - which is also in black and white and involves medieval imagery. Our plan is to choose a completely new song, in our groups, with a new idea.

Whilst I'm sad that we're losing our initial idea, I hope that - as a group - we can come up with something new and original.

REST IN PEACE, WOODKID - IRON

New Groups

Phil (our teacher) decided to take the ideas which were most promising and make a new set of groups. My new group consists of Carla, Gabriel, Lizzie and myself and we are continuing to do the Woodkid idea.

I'm pretty happy with the group and feel that we have a combination of promising assets and strong creative characters.
