Stop motion-the plan!
Elements of my video will include stop motion. For instance, the video player and the microphone will be animated. I can either make this look vaguely 'realistic' or deliberately unrealistic. The latter is favorable. The main requirement is that there is a moving mouth on the video player (the tape entry flap) and possibly a mouth on the microphone. A boxing ring and perhaps a white room will also be included in the animation as locations.
A post about... err... well... CHEESE!
Video killed The Radio Star is of course exceptionally cheesy, and so I have taken it upon myself to research just what cheese is! The definition of cheese is a song that has tried too hard, is unsuitable and unauthentic. Essentially, a cheesy song is corny and perhaps a cliché. Cheesy songs/videos usually create a response from the viewer and are instantly recognizable as cheese! It could be said that cheese is like marmite-either you love it or you hate it! Other than my chosen song, a song that could be considered cheesy (on the far right of the scale!) is The Spice Girls- Wannabe. My video will be cheesy mainly because of the singing video player which will be included. It is cheesy due to the fact that it is unrealistic and perhaps may come across as 'trying too hard'!
the OTT dancing and constant
camera movements!

An update...
So, the project is well underway now and I think I have decided on my song! Survey responses are pouring in thick and fast; there will be a post analysing the results soon.

Music Video Survey
Friday 13 September 2013
Initial Audience Research
I have played each of my potential song choices to the rest of my class and asked them to tell me which is their favourite.
These were the results:
Get Lucky-2
Video Killed The Radio Star-3
I Want To Break Free-4
Clearly; I Want To Break Free is the most popular choice but Video Killed The Radio Star comes a close second. Video Killed The Radio Star is my favourite and so given that it has a proportionally high number of votes, I am still most likely to choose this one, depending on what the public say in my Survey Monkey survey!
Choosing a song...
This part is really difficult, however I have narrowed my choices down to 3 songs.
These are:
These choices are very mainstream compared to what everybody else chose.
The song I am most likely to choose is Video Killed The Radio Star. My reason for this is that it is massively iconic and was the first music video to air on MTV in 1981.
Once I have completed audience research I will make a final decision.
