1. Initial Ideas

Here is a mind map that me and my group created, it shows different conventions that we first thought about when thinking about what to do for our music video. 

First we wanted to think about the genre of which we would focus so we made a list of lots of different genres that we knew. We then took a vote on what everyone wanted to do. We narrowed it down to Indie, Rock and Folk Pop. This then allowed us to start to think of artists who we could use to find the easiest genre for our group. After we had thought of the different artists we decided to go with Folk Pop. The artists we chose for this genre were Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran and Jame Blunt.

We then thought about watching some of their music videos to get an idea for the types of locations and costumes that we would need to put in our music video. Chinos, hoodies and trainers came up a lot in the music videos which made us think that these are a main convention of the genre. The types of location that appeared were the countryside, empty streets and near the coast. This have given us ideas to what we can do.

We then notice that in each music video the artists had instruments, we thought that this would be a good idea as it would make our video seem more professional. After that we start to talk about different songs that we could do, the songs we came up with were; James Blunt- Beautiful, Ed Sheeran- Little Bird, Ed Sheeran- Drunk, Mumford and Sons- Little Lion Man.
