Music Video vision

For our music vision we are planning to have:
  • A lot of attitude
  • Dance battles
  • Artist dancing, and performing, acting like divas
  • A lot of contrast shots between the artist
  • Shots of artist making about and teasing each other like friends
  • The rapping section we will have them more united
  • Social network reference, e.g. Facebook

We want the video to interpret the two artist characteristics as it is their first song. We will portray
their friendship which is full of fun. They constantly have petty hilarious arguments because of how
different they are, but they get on so well and work incredibly well together. Showing their fans its
okay to be different and people will appreciate you and be your friends

When one artist is singing there will be more shot of her, than the other but the other will pop in
every once in a while doing adlip or giving facial expression reacting to what the other artist says, we
will use split screen to accomplish this.

When they are rapping we will have them both in the same shots, and more inventive special
effects, to reach a climax making the video even more interesting to watch.

Contrast between artists :

  • Pets : tortious / dog
  • Favourite meal: humburger / pizza
  • Desert: ice cream / chocolate cake
  • Favourite colour: pink / blue
  • Fashion: boyish ghetto look/ girly glamorous look
  • Hair: freezy and curly / long and straight
  • Different fan groups on FB, Twitter.

Analysis of count down


Countdown, Beyoncé, 2011
This is Beyoncé's Music video countdown. In the theory of Godwin, it is a conceptual and performance video as her song is about a relationship, however we just have no sense of a relationship in the video, just Beyoncé performing and a dance session or class. You could interpret it as the countdown to a show, so the dancers are practicing. We particularly like the editing style of this video, which interprets the song, having 10 shots of Beyoncé when she says 10, then 9 etc, interpreting it literal.

We are thinking of using all these multiple screen shots for our music video, as we want an artist performance driven video and this enhances and makes the video more lively. We also love the colour scheme, of bright backgrounds.

Gender representation
She is not highly sexualised , or objectified but shown to be having fun and flirtatious with her dance moves. Not many shots of her body, more of her movements and beauty shots, to appreciate her more of and artist and performer. We would want our artist to be also portrayed like that.

Who is your artist?



They are called EGO

They consist of two females; who can both sing, rap and dance. They are the new hip hop and R&B British female talent.  Being inspired by Missy Elliot, Beyoncé and spice girls and TLC.

They have been best friends since secondary school, being known as the coolest girls who took part in all the sports activities, the school performances and even geeky competitions. Their friendship is very unique as they are both completely different but their passion for music and performance has brought them together.  They have many fights but these two can’t stay away from each other, from an outside eye you will find their arguments cute, funny and very competitive: almost like a married couple.  They really started their career, after winning many talent shows around UK; they were spotted in Britain Does Variety, when they won the grand finale. One of the talent scouts from Snapback Records was watching and immediately rang up and arranged a meeting with the two girls. From there their life has changed.
