Group Meeting: 30/09/10

In today's meeting we achieved quite a lot;

• We decided on a specific identity for our main girl
• We've created a theme for our video
• We created a shortlist for the possible actresses

After a lot of deliberation we've decided that the criteria for the girl in our video should be along the lines of this; she should be quirky and pretty but at the same time be edgy and sexy. We all decided that because the setting for our video would most likely be the streets of London, the girl should look like a typical London girl - streetwise and clever and dressed in a typically London style.

The primary theme for our video is obviously the shots played in reverse so it seems like the girl is walking backwards, and today we decided that it would be a really cool idea to add another theme; where she is performing typical indoor activities outdoors while she walks. For instance, she would take be eating or taking off an item of clothing. Then, when played backwards it would look like she was putting the item of clothing on. We have a lot of ideas based on this theme and we will talk about some of these in the next group meeting.

Group Meeting: 29/09/10

Today we had a group meeting discussing the possible actresses we'd use for our video. There were a lot of suggestions but we didn't really come to a conclusion about who we would use. The main reason for this is that we all had different ideas about what the girl in the video would look like so we agreed that we'd all go home and brainstorm two or three possible girls to use and come back tomorrow for another group meeting. Tomorrow our main objective is to come up with a clear theme for our sequence and create an identity for the girl. We will then all put forward our ideas and come up with a shortlist of possible actresses.

Copyright issues

Yesterday I emailed Little Boots' record label 679 Artists, asking to use the song or our project and they said it was fine, so there shouldn't be any issues with copyright.

Group Meeting: 27/09/10

Today we had another meeting and discussed ideas for the song Meddle by Little Boots.
So far, we have agreed that:

• the song would focus on the female singer
• variety of shots- performance and narrative
• we would film everything normally but edit it backwards, ie starting from night to day
• the song is about conflict in a relationship

The song is quite electro/indie-pop so the target audience could be fans of these genres. This kind of music could appeal to a wide audience.

Group Meeting: 23/09/10

Today we had a group meeting (minus Joe) to propose our ideas.

My idea is Cajun Dance Party - The Next Untouchable and the idea is that a boy is following a girl but she doesn't notice him.



Despina's choice is Little Boots - Meddle, and the idea is that the video would be shown backwards, illustrating a relationship between a couple, with the main focus on the girl.



George's idea is to  use Dizzee Rascal - Heavy and film it in a club, centred around a male.


We really like Despina's idea as it could be very creative. We are going to speak to Joe and update him on our progress and find out his idea on Monday.
