Hurtwood Media A2 - Timeline

Below is the initial Timeline that we have drafted up to outline the shots that we have in mind and how we visualise the video to look.

It is quite detailed at the moment which helps others to understand our vision. However this will definitely change as time progresses because as a whole, together we will want to change and manipulate this skeleton to produce the most affective video in the end.

Hurtwood Media A2 - Pitch

So we just completed our pitch to the class, Jason and creative director Luke.

Overall our initial idea has been successful and liked by everyone and our main skeleton is manageable. The only issue that we have is what the 'meaning' to the video is.

Of course we have the whole preparation element to include, with dressing room scenes, shoots etc..however it is quite IMPACTING enough. We need something original and STRIKING.

SO now our aim is to develop some ideas, images and a storyline that we can filter into the overall video.

We've considered that maybe a way about going this is to find a way of including something grusome and maybe making the viewers slightly uncomfortable. One way that we've thought of doing this is stripping the girl models of their cover. The make-up, the clothing, the whole act and a way that we've consdiered doing this is their beauty almost dissolving and falling apart. Almost to connote an element of fake appearence and revealing the reality.

Fingers crossed it will become much clearer soon!

Hurtwood Media A2 - Inspiration and Song possibles

With this set as 


the 80's being our main focus we have started to hunt through a variety of artists  and songs to try and find a possible song choice, of which we may gain inspiration or and maybe even use.

David Bowie - Fashion

Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love 



Duran Duran - Girls on film



Another video that we LOVE and have gained a lot of inspiration from is Madonna's Vogue song:

To start with, some of the bands that we had in mind covered a range of time frames.




Even nearing the ----> 


Not only were we being specific on the period of genre music but we also had a range of bands that we knew we'd like the sound of. The following are ones that jumped out at us:

  • Duran Duran
  • Pink Floyd
  • David Bowie
  • Elvis
  • Robert Palmer
  • Madonna 
So all very old school and classic. 
These are just some 'stars' that jumped to mind when thinking of the 'fashionable look' that we originally intended.
However of COURSE we needed to become Much More Specific.
So we decided to settle with:

Hurtwood Media A2 - Enitial Ideas

Today we have formed our group --> Myself, Genevieve, Liza and Otti and together we are begining to Brainstorm our first load of idea's for a possible music Video.

We've given ourselves the 'RETRO' image and plan on working around this appearence, which may be a challenge in the way that we have to find a song to fit this look rather than taking a song and creating a look around it but I reckon we are keen enough to make this happen.

We've started by producing an aray of photo's to display the kind of look that we feel for this video.














We're currently visualising a band of glam woman to be fronting the stage dressed in a very fashionable and fun way. How ever the twist to this that we really love and would like to 'put out there' as being the real 'catch' is that they will be singing a song by a male band. 

So to go with this we think that the women should also be dressed in men's costume and clothing.


The style of cause is known as 'Androgynous'.
We think this is powerful, eye-catching and original and also very fashionable which is an aspect that we'd like to incorporate within our video.
