Dancers Name Choice

As we are having a dancing duet feature in our music video Ceri and I have come up with a name for our duo.

We have decided to call them "Bows", with the inspiration behind this being the double pronunciation of bows. The first way is meaning bows the kind you tie on shoelaces and are known for being on ballet shoes. Ballerina's are often associated with bows on their ballet shoes or within their outfits and this helps to demonstrate who "Bows" are what their profession is. The other pronunciation of bow, is the action that performers take at the end of a performance, bowing to the audience. This also connotes ideas of dancing and performing, helping audiences to understand who the duo are and what they do. Finally bow can also be related to a bow and arrow; this represents the fact that they are a duo, there is two of them, and they complete each other. This shows how they are a team and work together to perform. We understand that audiences may not realise all the meanings behind the name, however may understand one which points to explaining who "Bows" are.

Below is a mood board to represent this:

5 Potential Songs

For this project I will be working in a pair with Ceri Lewis and before deciding on what song we would choose to use for our music video we shortlisted five possible songs. A clear theme between these songs is that they are all from the same genre of indie; we have chosen this genre as we personally have the most interest and knowledge in this genre. 1) Take Me To Church-Hozier A clear reason why Take Me To Church by the Irish, singer, songwriter and musician Hozier is a potential choice is due to the fact that both Ceri and I have connections with dancers who are experienced in performing this song. Due to their knowledge, reliability and their very professional and skilled talents we believe this would be an real asset to our music video, helping the video to look as professional as possible. We are also possibly considering having parts/all of the music video set in church, which would be an illustrative technique to create an very literal video. Also due to various connections

Lighting And Location Preparation

On the 9th October 2017, we began setting up our location of the stage with the lighting we would like. We have chosen to film on the stage as this will allow us access to different lighting techniques, fits to the type of video we are hoping to create which is performance and is also practical as the stage allows for plenty of room for the dancers to perform. We have chosen to use the school stage as we have easy access to this and this is also a safe and secure environment for us to film our video in. The lighting we have chosen for our video is a purple lighting, with a stain-glass window projected onto the back wall and a spotlight on our artist. Ceri and I chose purple lighting as we feel this will create a moody and atmospheric effect however the purple is not too dull and will still look interesting on screen. This less bright colour of purple also represents the message of the song well, as the song is more of a slow/heartbreak song rather than a cheerful upbeat song. The pro
