The music Video : Our music video's overall style is edgy with strong bold colours using costume and music to portray this. We are going to dress ourselves up to look like the 80's icons, including madonna and blondie this allows us to continue to relate back to the song title. Each costume and make-up will relate back to their over the top personalities. The focal point of bold colours and prints is aimed to capture our audiences attention. We intend to use keyboards and headphones as part of our props, and relate this to the beat and timing of the music, making our video to a more profess
ional standard and will appeal to our target audience. We are hoping to find somewhere with a plain white background to shoot our video for particular scenes as our bold bright 80's style music and costume would contrast against the plain minimalist background. We hope to use the 'WE LOVE 80'S' throughout as this is relating back to the theme of the song making it more realistic. For our performance we are a group of three girls and as the artist we have chosen, 'Calvin Harris' is a male artist we thought it was extremely relevant that we added a male actor to play his part. We are only adding one actor, minus ourselves as we felt this would minimalise complications and make our product easier to film.
Some of the ideas which we have finalized include:
'I've got love for you, if you were born in the 80's, the 80's' - For this lyric our initial ideas where to include a mixture of medium, close-up and long shots all connecting vertically together this will give our audience a sense of illusion and make them want to watch on.
