Song Choice

As mentioned in my previous post I think I am going to be doing Lady Gaga- 'Hair' for my music video. There are a variety of reasons why I have chosen to do this song, including:

• Lady Gaga is a very successful artist in music so I thought it would be good to choose an artist that has achieved a lot in her career
• She is famous and lots of people know her as an artist so it won't be hard to get lots of people to view my video- she has a mass audience so people will want to see it
• I'd like to make it original and think of creative ideas and by using an artist like Lady Gaga this enables you to do that
• I enjoy listening to her music so it was a good opportunity to make a video with my own version but with her song
• It means I can make any type of video and make it whacky
• I can relate to her and her music so it will make it easier to create a video
• My target audience will be a similar age to me and they are the kind of people who listen to Lady Gaga so I will be able to make it relatable to my target audience
• Not one of her most popular songs although people still know of it- I wanted to do a Lady Gaga song but most of them have been released as singles so have videos but it still means I can do one of her songs and make it my own

INITIAL IDEAS:

- Performance and concept based elements- some shots of my artist singing but with elements of originality too
- Not much link with the song - quite different but artistic as well
- Maybe the use of paint/arty materials on the artist to reflect Lady Gaga's usual videos which are creative, whacky and interesting to watch
- Have a dark element to it- not a particularly cheerful song so I will emphasise this through the set and the lighting of my video
