Teenage Dream Ideas (Eight)

As a group we have decided to change our narrative, as we felt that our music video would be uneventful and forgetful in comparison to other music videos. We felt that our previous narrative idea would not be memorable through the other A2 media students. Another previous idea was to create an Alter Ego, we have incorporated this idea but girl (A) will try to act like another girl (B) who contrasts the girl's style and personality.
For our new narrative we wanted to have girl (A) who is obsessed think that she is in a relationship with the boy, the audience will also believe that girl (A) is dating the boy. However, towards the end of the song girl (A) is watching footage that she had earlier filmed and she pauses the television of the boy holding hands with girl (B). We want an element of voyeurism which will show the girl on the television filming herself and may be performing. This was inspired by Kids in Glass Houses- Matters At All.
We thought of Girl (B) wearing flamboyant clothing and dramatic make up as we want to portray later in the video that Girl (A) wants to be like Girl (B). We thought about Girl (A) applying a lot of make up which will seem child like, this will show the audience that girl (A) is imagining her relationship with the boy and she is unhappy in her life.
We still want Michaela to be Girl (A) as she has had previous acting experience which will benefit our production as there are a range of emotions within our music video. We have decided amoung our group that Jessica will play the part of Girl (B) as we can imagine the girl looking like Jess.
To show the audience the difference between reality and girls (A) dream life we wanted to have the the dream life in colour, but we want the colours to be bright so we will use iMovie to enhance the brightness and contrast. We have also changed our location as we wanted to film in Brighton but after learning that Winter Wonderland will be open when we are filming we have decided to base some of our music video shots there. There will be many bright lights as it is a fun fair aswell. We wanted the reality shots to be black and white as it shows the unhappiness in her life and it contrasts the bright colours to the dull colours. This was inspired from Lily Allen- LDN.
