Considering Narrative for our Music Video
After analysing the lyrics to the song, we really wanted to keep the same vibe as the original, which was very happy. We wanted this as we felt it really captured the lyrics of the song. We felt that narrative would help show the lyrics visually and would give the audience characters to connect with as some kind of story unfolds. We initially wanted to simply show the characters in a relationship and happy, but when considering the ways in which we could show this to make it clear, we struggled. As a result of this we have decided to show the characters as their relationship begins, and them 'noticing together' all in the perspective of the female character; the artist. This way it would cause the lyrics to be the feelings of the female character. We also considered where we wanted to film our narrative shots. We felt that because the song was about teenage dream, that it might be nice to film some of narrative in our school reflecting teenage life. This make the characters appear in a natural and realistic setting to the story but would also be a really easy and efficient location for us as we have a constant ability to use it. It would also be reliable, as it would always be there and there would be no drastic changes.

Plans for my Next Step Regarding Filming
After looking at my footage today, myself and jess have decided that our next step would be:
- Research into existing music videos to gain some insight as to what we could do for our narrative shots.
- Film some narrative shots to add our music video, we feel that this would increase the quality of the film and allow it to reflect the genre to a much greater standard.
- We feel that we need to put in some more time to editing the footage that we currently have, as we feel we could add some more creative aspects too it.
- Research in to existing CD covers to allow us to gain a greater understanding of the typical conventions so that we can adapt to this ourselves when creating our own CD cover.
- Create our ancillary task using all the knowledge we have gained from our research
- Research into music posters of a similar genre so that we can gain a greater understanding of what to portray on our own.
- Create a music poster to advertise our 'artist'.
