Fantasy Boy and Signs

Mia-Mae joint shot

differences between the the two can be easily viewed. On the left our artist's brightness contrasts with the black background of the artist on the right. We used the shots that illustrated a day-dreaming look from both our artists. The idea was that they look like they're fantasising about the boy they're singing about. We ended with the iconic guitar again as the guitar is part of a dominant theme in the video.

Looking at specific shots

Influences we looked at- Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy created this album based on a collection of songs most liked and most bought by their fans. The cover is quite Gothic as it is a dark coloured cover and suggests death by the two skeletons in the center. I thought the way they contrasted the Gothic with the ordinary was good as it felt misleading. The ordinariness of the guitar and shoes and other everyday objects suggested that they belong to the skeletons in the center. There is also a sort of romantic image in this album as the two skeletons in the center are laying together facing each other. This seemed fitting with the idea of our song where the girl doesn't have the man she wants whereas on this cover even in death they are together in an embrace.

Influences we looked at- Elliot Minor

Elliot Minor was introduced to me during the project by my partner as she in a big fan. They have an original style as they combine rock music with classical instruments. They're image reflects them exactly. The cover above suggests the norms of societies as that is how they see that they're expected to dress. The background on both illustrate who they really are and how they create their own worlds through their love for music.
The cover below reminded me more of the Gothic theme we were after. the full moon suggest a supernatural element which crosses over between both the Gothic and Fairy Tale idea. The image of the trees and the never ending path made me feel trapped in the album cover which reminded me of the theme of entrapment in the Gothic genre. Moreover, the organ in the middle suggested to me that someone is meant to be there playing it and as there is no one it looked more mysterious and eerie to me.

Influences we looked at- Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne seemed to be most like our artist both in song style and image. The only noticeable make-up on her is around her eyes as she takes on a 'Rock- Chick' image. Our two vocalists take the best of Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams. Mia took on the more natural Hayley Williams look whereas Mae can be related more to Avril Lavigne as her make up appears more obvious. Both girls reflect who they are through their image and their song style, we tried to capture the same idea from our artists. Also, Avril Lavigne's website (above) was our original inspiration for our website however, we decided to make it more Gothic and decided instead just to use the colour scheme as it matched our image so well. Her latest single (below) was based on the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland theme. This brought together the idea of fantasy and Gothic similarly to our theme.

Influences we looked at- Hayley Williams
Hayley Williams is the lead singer of the band Paramore. She became a muse for us as we wanted to achieve the natural look that we liked having researched her. Hayley Williams customizes her look by adjusting her hair colour to look different rather than relying on heavy make up. We decided that the lack of make up illustrates an innocence within her which we would like to reflect in our artist. The picture above makes a clear comparison of the two images we considered. The image is from the video 'Misery Business' which we mentioned earlier. We thought that the clear differences between the two girls shows the two ideas of females. Whereas the one on the right is more stereotypical, we preferred Hayley Williams' less obvious appearance and chose to model around her.

Pre-Production Storyboard
Before we began anything, we sat down and planned our initial ideas on a story board. We decided that although this is a good idea, when we come to film, we are likely to deviate quite a bit. There are possibilities that our storyboard won't work realistically and so we'll have to adjust it.
