The artist/song
- I wanted to make a music video with someone who would also be enthusiastic about the project
- Asked indie local electropop artist AEM, who only had 1 music vid so far if she would be interested
- others xyz
- very enthusiastic
- Is just finishing mixing the song, fake, now
- I am doing an interview with her this weekend about the meaning of it (social media - how to build, how useful, how she uses, how she engages with audience/brand/expectations of the vid/her musical influences/visual influences, intertextualities/her audience/primary/sec, interact/queer imagery/how does she access music video/any thoughts on UGC vids (spontaneous or no)/album art for digipak (say ideas if I do))
- Website - font sheet (headings/banner fonts)
- What she expects from the vid - electropop, specific, for one of your own (2qs)
- female artists on video she's found interesting
- colour/colouring - run through thinking (heathers)
- webisodes, staggard release
Pre-production
- Started general and genre conventions research
- Had some issues with getting it done to the standard I wanted
- Taking longer than originally planned
- Still been doing research on a range of conventions - Merch, effects of convergence and digitisation, how the music industry has changed, Goodwin
- possible influences form those (understand and apply) - 5-6 likely influences
- Initial ideas
- Some initial ideas for the video: gender bending date idea (Butler), dual identity/self sabotage idea
- Developed dual identity idea into looking at what's authentic/fake, self-sabotage/self-care
- Some narrative - Heathers intertextuality, croquet scenes (one based off of Heathers, the other Alice in Wonderland)
- The dual self is Winona Ryder from Heathers and Christian Slater (mr robot tv show, link), but both women - non-chronological and unclear whether or not they're the same person or in a relationship
- 2 sample clips so far
- Performance location scouting
- Influences:
- Arian Grande - Thank u, next
- Iggy Azalea - Fancy
- Pixies - Silver Snail
- Alice Phoebe Lou - Skin Crawl
- Novaa - Club Paradise
- Megadeth - Hello me
- Social media - instagram finally working, twitter
Next month
- Finish lyrics timing sheet
- Make final vid plan
- Some sample shooting (with or without artist, experiment with things like powdered paint)
- Finish general/genre conventions research
