Research and Planning: Creating Voyeurism
In our next lesson we discussed shots that we felt were voyeuristic. We thought that tracking and pan shots are the best for voyeurism as they give the sense of following and "perving". Also we felt that close up shots are much better than long or medium shots as they focus on the "female or male" rather than distracting you with the background view.

Research and Planning: Voyeurism
In class we looked at a music video called Heatwave by Wiley Featuring Ms.D:
We then mind mapped our views and ideas on the video:
We then looked at a quote about voyeurism:
"There is frequently reference to the notion of looking (mirrors, screens within screens, stages etc.) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body" - Andrew Goodwin (Dancing in the Distraction Factory 1992)
We thought of some shots that are voyeuristic:
- Close ups
- Point of view
- Pan
- Tracking
Research and Planning: Creativity Vs Knowledge
"The more you know how to do something the less creative you become" Agree or Disagree ?
In lesson we discussed the above statement and whether we agreed or disagreed on it. Before the discussion some of us were confused and most of us said we agree and disagree.
I agreed with the statement at first as I felt that the less you know the less rules there are. I think that without rules you can think more widely. However, during the discussion I was swayed more to disagreeing as I slightly agreed that having more knowledge can increase creativity.
We also looked at originality and if it still exists today. We as a class felt that we are influenced by things we've seen around us in the environment and through the media. Everyone tends to put their on twist on it and it becomes original but is it original if it has been taken from others ideas ?

Research and Planning: Similar Video
We were looking at similar artists to Carly Jo Jackson and we found Colbie Caillat and her song 'Bubbly'. She is also a pop/acoustic singer and sings in a simliar way to Carly Jo Jackson. In this music video there are scenes of her in a field with a sunset which gives a country feel but is a convention of pop/acoustic music videos. We we're thinking to use a field and sunset in our music video as it fits with the conventions and would give a nice feel to the song.

Research and Planning: Bedouin Soundclash
In class we were given an existing band Bedouin Soundclash and we had to think about how we could brand and market them. This is what we were given to help us:
Here are some of the ideas we came up with:
Planning and Research: "Wildflower" Lyrics by Carly Jo Jackson
"Wildflower" Lyrics by Carly Jo Jackson
I’ve never felt this way before
Don’t wanna feel it anymore
I’ve got nothing left to prove
Nothing to prove to you
Getting faces on the floor
Right where you chose to close the door
Guess my luck has fallen through
But I’m a wildflower
Waiting on my sun shower
To wash away all of the pain
And give me strength
Like a daisy in a field of roses
I’m amazed that no one ever noticed
I’m a wildflower x2
One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her
Cuz I'm a wildflower
I’m a wildflower x2
I swear I have a heart of gold
My colours are so bright and bold
I guess this world is just too cold
Have you ever felt this way before?
The one you want
You love them more
But nothings ever sure
But I’m a wildflower
Waiting on my sun shower
To wash away all of the pain
And give me strength
Like a daisy in a field of roses
I’m amazed that no one ever noticed
I’m a wildflower x2
One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her
Cuz I'm a wildflower
I’m a wildflower x2
Just as I begin to fly
You make me fall but I'll survive
Like a daisy in a field of roses
I’m amazed that no one ever noticed
I’m a wildflower x2
One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her
Cuz I'm a wildflower
I’m a wildflower x2
I’ve never felt this way before
Don’t wanna feel it anymore
I’ve got nothing left to prove
Nothing to prove to you
