Intertextual References

In our music video, there will be several intertextual references to other music videos. First of all, there will be a reference to the music video of the song 1-800-273-8255. There is a reference to the part in that video where the main protagonist pulls a gun to himself and we are referencing this scene in our video when our main protagonist does the same action. This is because our character and the character in that music video relate to each other in terms of their personality and finding themselves in the world.

Also, another intertextual reference we have made in the video is one from the 1975 music video 'Somebody Else'. The inspiration from this video was a part of the costume that the main protagonist in the video was wearing and we have taken the shoes and the jeans, which are black classic vans and black skinny jeans.

Costume

Here are pictures of the costume my character will be using. We have gone with items of clothing which will match the genre of our song and the locations the music video is shot in.

Roles

Myself, Kallum and Kaan sat down and discussed the roles we will uptake in the production and planning of our music video. Firstly, we have decided that Kallum is going to be the cameraman and the cinematographer. We felt as if this was the best role to assign to Kallum as he feels more comfortable in this role and has previous experience in this role from last year. In addition to this Kaan has been assigned the role of editor and director and much like Kallum, Kaan has previous experience in this role from last year and enjoys editing and does it in his free time. Finally, the role I have been given is the role of choosing and bringing the costume, props and choosing the settings. We felt as if I could choose appropriate locations to shoot as i have a good knowledge of Camden and also I have the appropriate costumes already that our character wears.

New Font

The font we have chosen to use as DAZE's logo is called Hand Shop Typography C30 by Fotnscafe.com as it keeps the line through the Z, which was an integral part of our original design and we feel as if we should keep it, and it is quite an edgy font which represents the genre of music we chose and it also represents our artist's personality. 



Changing Font

As a result of our pitch, our original logo received negative feedback so we have decided to change the logo, but we will be keeping the same colour (purple). These are the logos we have chosen to be our final logo. We feel as if all of these logos represent the genre of music we have chosen and the personality of our artist.
