Initial response to the brief


Initial ideas:
- coquette - bows, cherries, baby pink, pearls etc.
- animal print?
- fashion inspired by film & tv ? (intertextuality!)
- streetwear
- microtrends & fast fashion
- recycled fashion - reselling clothes, charity shops, online etc.

Pros of magazine:
  • lots of creative control
  • potential to explore different areas of 'style' - home interior, fashion
  • ability to explore different aesthetics - could look into rise of 'coquette' fashion amongst young people - would appeal to target audience
  • easier to appeal to target audience 
Cons of magazine:
  • difficult to use intertextual references 
  • could be difficult to source clothing/props that would fit in with conventions of high end style magazines
  • settings could be difficult for pictures

Initial ideas:
potential songs - Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol (audio would would need to be cut - fade out from 2:26?) - video must be 3 mins exactly, could edit audio and replace with another section from end of song

- Chasing Pavements by Adele 

Pros of music video:

  • easier to make intertextual references (film, tv etc.)
  • narrative of song could be followed 
  • "eyes without a face" - opportunities for close ups with lyrics
  • "chasing pavements" -  shot of running along pavement ??
  • more freedom with setting
  • audio can be edited when trimming to 3 mins - control over which parts of songs are used 
  • Eyes Without A Face - potential for creative control and adaptations of lyrics 

Cons of music video:

  • ballads are slower songs - could be visually boring for audience
  • most ballads would need to be cut to 3 mins 
  • video could be cheesy ect. due to nature of genre
  • could be difficult to source props due to limited budget 
  • audio needs to flow if cutting parts - could sound choppy
