Consent form

I have made a consent form so that my artist can sign it, so that they know  and understand the terms and conditions and also that they accept that the video will be viewed by the public, and that it will be posted on the internet, this is also to make sure that I am covered and that they can't back out half way through filming.

Statistics

Here is an image of statistics from youtube of the original video of dance to the beat of my drum by Nicola Roberts.


In the last image the video is most popular in Great Britain, then South America, Russia and Australia. The least popular countries are Chad, Niger and Central African Republic, which are all in the African continant. This may be due to lack of technology or just no interest in Nicola Roberts. The likes of the video are nearly divided into thirds with two thirds of positive likes and one third of dislikes.

Musical Influences

Here are examples of musical influences for my music video. I have taken into account costume styling, make-up styles, props, and also dance styles.

The reason I have been influenced by Cher Lloyd's - "Swagger Jagger" is because I want to incorporate a ghetto blaster in to the establishing shot, like she has in the first 10 seconds of her video. A ghetto blaster is a device capable of receiving radio stations and playing recorded music, usually cassettes or CDs, usually at relatively high volume.
I am using the gehtto blaster and incorporating a cassette tape, this is also where I have been influenced by Bruno Mars' "Just the way you are". Instead of drawing pictures with teh tape inside of the casstte, I am going to take still images of the tape moving into the next scene, and coming out of the ghetto blaster.
