Statement of intent

I have chosen to create a music video as it immediately caught my attention whilst going through the briefs and I see it as something that I would really enjoy making. I also want to improve my skills on editing. My aims for my music video are to create a visually capturing concept that appeals to a more mainstream audience, so they return to the song and create a wider loyal fan base for the upcoming artist. I also want to show the artists personality more through the video and display their stage presence to increase sales on tours and increase loyal listeners. I aim to have dancers with catchy choreography in parts of the song which could become a trend on social media, for example TikTok, this would lead people back to my video and it also creates interest. 

During my music video I will showcase my knowledge. Firstly, by using a different range of camera angles, this shows I have read the brief and can understand how to do this. I will have the focus being on my solo artist, showing she is the dominant signifier. This makes sure most of the attention is on them and not the dancers in the background. I will achieve this by using a range of lighting techniques and being selective about the staging throughout the video. I also want to include elements of star power, for example including a surprise guest in my video to entice more viewers.

My video is aimed at a younger audience, roughly between 13-25. I would reach this audience by using vibrant colours to keep them engaged and also using trendy clothing for the artist and background dancers. I would also make sure there is high energy from the performers with catchy choreography that could hopefully become a trend on different social media platforms, specifically TikTok as it is heavily based on music and dancing.

 I would make my video accessible on all social media platforms. I would publish it on YouTube and create Tiktok videos with a catchy dance using the song to attract people to watch the full video on YouTube. Additionally, I would copy the link onto an Instagram story and make it easy to just tap the link and just watch the video. I would use star power again here and have other famous people who aim their content at a similar audience to me to generate more viewers.  

By using all these techniques to create my music video I will demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of media and my ability to create a successful and entertaining music video for youths.
