Risk Assessment

Today we visited the studio and discovered potential hazards which we took into account and then started producing a risk assessment. We will later upload teh completed risk assessment onto the blog.

STORYBOARD

Recently we discovered that the artist that we had chosen had successfully released her song into the UK charts, we believed that although we had recieved an email via my space from the artist we believed that using the track without permission from the record label would mean that we were using copyrighted music which is illegal. Due to this we e-mailed RCA Records (sony).

lesson 06.10.09

Today we started creating our storyboard which we annotated describing the types of shots we are going to use. We needed a female to star in our video as the main artist and were unable to find someone who was willing to. In our group Jennifer volunteered to do this for our video which then resolved our problem.

lesson 05.10.09

Yesterday we were using youtube to look for ideas for costume and shots in our own video.

We looked at a range of videos from lady gaga for ideas for costume and use of narrative then cheryl cole for costumes and lip sync. We also added ideas to our pitch of what we were going to include in out video and how we are going to construct it.

PITCH - IDEAS

Pitch

Name of artist: Kesha Sebert

Song Title: TIK TOK

Genre: POP/ELECTRO

Target Audience: The target audience for this genre is a younger audience as the lyrics reflect that of the younger generation. The artist is very fashionable and stylish which may also reflect the audience. The artist is younger herself and has a modern rock chic attitude.

What kind of video will we create?

The video will reflect that of the narrative in the song for example “before I leave brush my teeth”, the star of the video will demonstrate this.

We are going to use a range of different outfits/costume to reflect the narrative.

We are going to use a range of backgrounds using green screen which will be created using the new equipment located in the new studio at college.

The editing will be fast pace as the music is itself. We will make good use of lip sync and try to use as much as possible and needed. We will use a range of different objects as they will reflect the lyrics and will demonstrate the narrative.

KESHA TIK TOK LYRICS

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

(Hey, what up girl?)

Put my glasses on, I’m out the door – I’m gonna hit this city

(Let’s go)

Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack

Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back

I’m talking – pedicure on our toes, toes

Trying on all our clothes, clothes

Boys blowing up our phones, phones

Drop-topping, playing our favourite CDs

Pulling up to the parties

Trying to get a little bit tipsy

[CHORUS]

Don’t stop, make it pop

DJ, blow my speakers up

Tonight, I’mma fight

‘Til we see the sunlight

Tick tock, on the click

But the party don’t stop

Woah-oh oh oh

Woah- oh oh oh

Ain’t got a care in the world, but got plenty of beer

Ain’t got no money in the pocket, but I’m already here

Now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger

But we kick ‘em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

I’m talking about – everybody getting crunk, crunk

Boys trying to touch my junk, junk

Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk

Now, now – we goin’ til they kick us out, out

Or the police shut us down, down

Police shut us down, down

Po-po shut us – [CHORUS] x2

DJ, you build me up

You break me down

My heart, it pounds

Yeah, you got me

With my hands up

You got me now

You gotta that sound

Yea, you got me

DJ, you build me up

You break me down

My heart, it pounds

Yeah, you got me

With my hands up

Get your hands up

Put your hands up

No, the party don’t stop until I walk in

[CHORUS] x2
