Record Label!

As we had to create a record label, I decided to take a look into a variety of different record labels who have different artists under their name. The logo's of the record label's are very important as they represent the label through the style of font, images, colours and layout. 
The process in which I took in the different program especially Illustrator to accomplish this new logo. Previously we created a logo last year for our AS Level, as you can see below:
This was our logo for our production company.
We had to look into the different kind of fonts we were going to use for our NEW logo. Here are the range of fonts that we looked at, we had to look at a font that was clear and easy to understand, whilst also giving enough effect to the words. 
Me & Riham did rough versions of the logo, to have a feel of the software we were using and to get used to the different tools we had to use to accomplish our logo. 
As you can see the bold bright colours used were a little too forceful, therefore we decided to combine mine & Riham's logo's to create..

Inspiration!

Our music video song was based in the 21st century, therefore everything was modern and up to date. Now a days, style is the essence, therefore for our inspiration that inspired us throughout are a few icons. 


The Look
Well, we wanted to construct a look similar to P!NK, as her look fitted the characteristics of the character we created for our music video. One person we got inspired from by her look was Madonna, her punk/rock style, based our characters looks. 
Her wacky hairstyle is similar in the way to P!NK, as it brings out her crazy side, much like the leader actress in my music video. Her vivid style resembles a style that was created back in the 80's. Madonna as well as her style, is a worldwide icon, therefore using her as an inspiration really helped us to identify what the audience would like. 


Our Scenes
Forest scene - was inspired by another punk rock female, Avril Lavigne 
and her song 'Alice'. This song was filmed in a forest setting, therefore this video was the base of the idea of this scene in our music video. The location of the scene seemed to appeal to me, through
the effects of lighting, creating a suspense and mystery to the atmosphere to the song, which I felt our audience would taking a liking to. 


Classroom scene - this scene was inspired from another female pop star, Miley Cyrus with her song 'Ordinary Girl'. We thought this particular scene from this music video would be just right for our own music video, because it created all the right feelings that we wanted the audience feel for the character, such as sympathy, sadness, loneliness etc. The location of the scene was relatively easy, as we thought about whether we could accomplish this scene. 


Mirror Scene - we felt that this scene would be the pinnacle point of our music video, therefore our inspiration for it would have to be on point with the kind atmosphere we wanted to achieve. We felt two scenes out of Christina Aguilera's music video 'Beautiful' created the perfect feelings as well as effect to the music video. The scene's fitted in with the theme's we were portraying, and we felt that including a scene similar to these two would help make the point we were making much clearer to the audience.

The Meaning Of Lyrics

I did some research into what the song actually meant to some people, therefore I looked into different forum's to print screen some comments, on what the reaction to the song was. If you look above, you'll see how the song related to some individuals, using this I created my own lyric set of meanings below.


To help with creating my music video, I created a lyric set of the meaning of the lyrics. By doing this, it will help me to define the song and to make it my own. I looked into what other's thought the definition of the song was, therefore I looked into the lyrics and wrote what I personally thought the song meant.
