Group Idea

When we was put into our groups, we had to bring our ideas together to think of one music video that we could recreate. Our first thought was to who we could get to agree to being the artist/ band. I knew someone that was in a band of 4 guys, and another girl in the group knew a girl who would be up for being the artist as she does performing arts and loves being in front of the camera. We decided to go with the girl because we could think of more fun women artists that we could do. The suggestions we came up with were, Lily Allen, Florence & The Machine, Katy Perry, Jessie J, Kate Nash and Ellie Goulding. This is how we decided on the genre because all of these artists come from around the same genre. We researched the different music videos that these artists had created and chose our favourite song, which happened to be Kate Nash-Merry Happy as it is a fun and bubbly song that we would have a lot of different ideas for the video. After we chose on the artist and the song, we researched other videos from Kate Nash so that we could get an idea of what her videos are like and what the typical features are.

We found that she tends to recreate the song as they are narratives into a story for the music video, which would be easy to recreate. Also she uses random items like wind-up babies and cheese on toast and toothbrushes. She rarely does performances where she is on stage apart from in one video called "Mouthwash".
