First A2 Task - Preliminary

In preperation for our A2 coursework, we have been given a trial effort over the next month to produce an original music video, and an accompanying original CD cover for the release of the song. I will be working with Kate Lankester, Molly Collison and Richard Bate-Weldon. Here is a picture of us.

We have been given the following songs to choose from:
DJ Sammy - The Boys of Summer
Sugababes - About You Now
Sia - Cheap Thrills
David Bowie - Life on Mars
Blink 182 - Another girl another planet
The smiths - This charming man
Calvin Harris and Florence Welch - Sweet nothing

Our class was not given a condition to include in our music videos. This is because our groups had no trouble with brainstorming ideas for them. However, we were all given a stimulus to base our idea(s) around to see where it would take us. For my group, our stimuli were Jack & Jill, The boy who cried wolf, and Puppets. The stimulus we chose was puppets because we were thinking about having the singers in the band as puppets because they feel like they are tied to social inequalities and differences and it is the only stimulus that works well with our idea.
