Our Song....

As I said in an earlier post we was going to do our music video on F**k you by Lily Allen but after discussing this with Miss Whitaker and her saying that it would be offensive we have now decided to go with "Young Love" by Mystery Jets another one our favourites. We are looking forward to this as we now think we will get alot more ideas for it and it will be alot easier but still challenge us.
As of yet we have no ideas for it yet but that will soon come in lessons and in individual study periods.
The song is very sweet and is about a boy that is in love with a girl and about trying to find her, I got an idea of twisting this and making it as if the boy was this girls stalker that grew this affection for this girl and wants to know where she live; and everything about her.
the original music video for this is very plain it is just the Mystery jets laying on a white floor singing and being pulled about on these large skate boards so that's another reason why I like my idea as it is nothing like the original and actually gives the song a secret meaning. I haven;t pitched this to the group as of yet but am doing so tomorrow.

Anything for love by meatloaf

I love this music video and chose to put it on here as I like the way it converges with the lyrics to tell the love story. I think you could watch the video without the music and know what it's about and understand it. It's a powerful song and video. An all time classic!!

Thinking of music videos.......

I like music videas that help the song tell the story and even if you didnt have the music you would be able to understand what the song was on about from the video I also like music videos that stand out and are unique. I want to have fun filming this music video and want to show it through the video. the song we have chose is Fuck you by Lily Allen, this song had meaning and is really good so we decide that we would do it to that. I am looking forward to this project i think im going to learn alot and im looking forward to doing the vidoeing and being the director and giving the song justice.

Buttons by Pussy cat Dolls feat Snoop Dogg

As you can see from the provocative video the girls used sex to get them selves popular- sex sells!!!!!!

The Background on the Pussy Cat Dolls!!!!!

From This¬

To This!!!!

I chose to research into the band the Pussy Cat Dolls i think they are very contraversal as they are the definition of the saying sex sells.

The group originated as a burlesque in 1995 in Los Angeles, it wasn't after they started attracting national that choreographer Robin Antin who founded them as a burlesque group negotiated a record deal with A&M records and interscope records in 2003.

In 2005 their first album PCD went to number 5 on the U.S billboard 200 chart which had the successful songs 'Don't cha', 'Buttons', 'Stick wit' 'u'. The group won a grammy for the single Stick wit u. In 2008 the group released their second album 'Doll Domination' which included the success 'When i grow up', 'I hate this part', 'whatcha think about that', 'Jai Ho (you are my destiny)' and their newest single 'Hush hush; hush hush'. Over the 5 years of fame the band have been criticized for its overly sexual image and explicit dance routines and for their lead singer Nicole Scherzinger always singing lead in all their songs not sharing the lime light.

Rough Trade!! (i do like this one)

When researching this record company for my A.s i found it very interesting and i am a big fan of some of the artists so thats why i decided to redo my research for it for this year.
roguh trade was founded in 1978 by Geoff Travis and then in 1987 Jeanette Lee become an equal partner.
Rough Trade started as a record shop and then evovled into a record label. In 1980 rough trade had grown into a large company and moved to a bigger premises on blenheim crescent.
