Weekly Reflection Post:1-5/09/2014 (KC)

This week, as a group, we have decided amongst the song we are going to base our Video on. We came to the conclusion of 'MKTO-Classic'. This then stemmed the idea of 1920's Great Gatsby Music Video, baring in mind that non of us had watched the original Video before, of two males (in suits) singing on a stage - for the performance - in a room with girls - for the narrative. However, there will be one girl that will be dressed like 1920's Great Gatsby to 'define' the ultimate definition of 'Classic'.

We allocated each member of the group to Research a particular aspect of the Music Video we are to create. I was allocated with the 'Genre/Song of Music Video', 'Band Name and Biography', 'Twitter Account' and 'Researching Costumes and Props'. This Research proved that we had to follow certain 'rules', in order to pursue such a Video.

The 'Genre/Song of Music Video' post propelled me into Researching further into the Pop genre, this resulted in the 'History of Pop' blog post. This gives the examiner (and anybody else reading our blog) more insight onto the genre and what we are actually basing our Music Video on. Similarly, the '1920's Research' blog post was just a benefit for the group as we wanted to know more about the popular Artists and fashion.

Next week, I am going to Research more into the 1920's and the Great Gatsby. Looking at scenes from the 2013 'The Great Gatsby' Movie will contribute to that, as this is an example of some features that we need to follow in order to achieve this type of Music Video. Furthermore, I will also analyse the original Video by taking screenshots of anything that could be taken as inspiration for our Music Video and how we could incorporate that into our version.
