Photos Of The Band We Are Using

These images allow us to consider what our artists will look. We will need to ensure they have the costume that will suit the genre of the song. I also want to direct them to look more voyeuristic. We want them to sing into camera and really form a relationship with the audience [ Goodwin]

We won't be shooting in this room as there is a pink sofa and we want to avoid the symbolic readings associated with pink.
Dyer " a star is an image..." i think we need to meet with the band and discuss the star image we wish to create. It will be important for our TA to relate to the boys in the band [Blumler & Katz]

I like the idea of this low angle shot as it makes him look more powerful and dominant. Our preferred dominant reading [ Hall/ Morley] is that our TA understand that relationships are difficult. The TA is aged 16 - 22 and during this age, most young people like the same girl/ boy and we think that they will be able to relate well to our narrative.
According to Propp there is always a villain- for our MV it is possible that Chris will seem to fill this role. However, we will have to wait for TA feedback and find out if this is what our audience understood. It is possible that some readings will be negotiated and some boys may admire him for his actions.







 I took these pictures because it shows what instruments the band members play.  Their current look also helped to inspire our creativity when it comes to planning costumes and the star image we want for our video.
