The Saturdays - Forever Is Over Analysis




In order to decide which video that we would like to make we had to analyise videos that already exitsed to understand the convertions of what we had to make.
we have decided to do a girl band video most likely to be the saturdays: work or forever is over. this video connotates a pervogative girl band who are singing about boys that have let them down, and that they are able to be single and happy. The video opens with a pretty looking blonde girl swinging on a chair. Immediatly we notice she is wearing red, which dennotates a pervogative colour and she has mathing red lipstick to make her look sexy. The secene then goes to show us two more girls looking up at the camera as it is a high angle shot, this shows them looking vunerable as they are looking up at the camera sadly. By time the first girl begins to sing we have been introduced to each band member in tern so we are familiar with the band. The shots that a widely used in the video are closeups and head shots that show emotion. we also see long shots to show off thier outfits and their pervogative clothes and bodies. continuty editing is used to show each of the girls throwing thinsg around to show how 'mad' they are at being 'messed around by boys'. all the girls are wearing nice clothes that younger audiences would be able to recognise and would like to follow, therefore attention to make up and wardrobe (mise-en-scene) have been attented to accoringly.

The Saturdays - Work Analysis


The song that we have chosen to do is going to be work by the saturdays, in order to shoot and plan a effective music video for our target audience i need to analyise the music video itself.




The video opens with a grungy back ground and the music begins to kick in, we see a picture of the saturdays. the scene then quickly drops to a extreme long shot were the saturdays begin to appear. The back drop is light and we notice light come up in the back ground to show the saturdays walking on, they are wearing quite sexy ourfits which show off alot of skin and their hair is long to represent a seductive women. The shot switches from the girls dancing to perogative chorography to individual head shots of them. much like forver is over the girls are seen to be wearing clothes that younger fans and fans the same age as the girls can relate to. All the girls are in sync with their chorography, which is something we would like to add to our video. This could be something that is found in other girl band videos as a expected trait in a girl band video. the back ground in the scenes are repeated as the girls are filmed individualy, however as a audience we notice that the back drop and lighting is the same. This is another trait we would like to encorporte into our video.

final song choices. THE SATURDAYS


Our group has decided to narrow our decidion down to two saturdays songs.
the saturdays - work.
the saturdays - ego.

By picking the saturdays we have abled ourselves to have a variety of the girls with differant hair colours and styles to be singing in the band. The band consits of 5 girls who each on their own represent a differarnt style and type of women. Through their performances in the videos that we have watched, the saturdays represent women to be sexy by the pervogative clothes and hair styles they sport. the majority of the band have long and flowy hair with connoates a sterotypical 'sexy' girl. The clothes that they tend to wear in thier videos show alot of flesh and their make up is done up to makes them look flawless. This to the audience makes girls want to copy this style and look like the saturdays. this could be a negative however, as it will be very hard for us to airbrust ourselves to the point that the saturdays have been and the light and quitptment used to make them look so flawless would be very expensive to hire. Therefore we will steer away from this slightly, to still look sexy as we can but also to look real.

PICKING A PROJECT

Initally for our project we have decided to make a music video, prefrebly and girl bad. Our group consists of four girls therefore we have decided that a girl bad video would be easier for us to achive our target audience.
Our target audience will be girls and some boys who are interested in the pop industry. the girls that will like our band and our video will most likely be able to relate with the video therefore, dressing simular to them aswell as being able to relate to the lyrics. in order to create such a video our dress and song choice must be something they feel that they can achive and wear and feel as though they would be able to sing along with the video. our group have decided that we would be most interested in making a video such as:

The saturdays
Girls aloud
Spice girls

We will have to adapt our group to be able to make the song fit in with each of the singers, therefore we should take in to consideration bands that have four singers in them such as all saints and bewitched. however after watching the videos we feel that we would be able to create a musis video with five girls and apapt it into a four girl video or add a model.
