Research to help us towards our final piece

As a group, we decided that we would take screen shots of Kesha's music videos to suggest what we paid homage too and what influenced us to help us get the same similar idea. The screen shots in which I found are what we have included in our music video to help connote the pop convention and relate it to Kesha. We learned from doing this that it can be minor things such as props which can help us to follow the typical 'crazy' themes which are connoted through Kesha's videos.

In this screen shot taken from Kesha - 'Tik Tok' we can see that the people in the background appear to be holding the red party cups which are stereotypically used for American house parties, we took this into consideration and managed to get hold of these props and included them in our video. Below is the screen shot in which I took from our video during the editing process of our music and it also connotes how we as a group have accounted and taken note of minor things Kesha uses in her videos so that we can also do the same.

Below is a screen shot which I took from Kesha's music video 'We R Who We R', there was a large use of party scenes showing everyone going crazy, we used various locations when I was filming the music video we similarly gathered a lot of people together which was one of the difficulties we faced but then we used organisation skills to inform everyone go when and where the filming will be taking place.

Below is the pictures taken from our edited music video in which we have made similar to Kesha's video, below you can see we have used a similar dark filter as we thought that it emphasises it to make it more like a party. We also didn't want this to be too clear as we made it a quick shot just to show the audience what is happening, by making it a fast pace editing, also instills one of the pop conventions and is also commonly used in Kesha's music videos which connotes that she follows the typical pop conventions.

In the picture above, we gathered a variety of students from our sixth form and decided to film everyone going from normal to 'crazy', we done this to create a form of humour to our target audience as in one shot everyone appears to be sitting down bored then quickly cuts to them being wild. This is also connoted in Kesha's music video 'We R Who We R' as there is a lrge use of party scenes, I had already filmed a party scene in a different location so we decided that if we use a variety of party scenes in different locations it will denote the themes of craziness and that she doesn't appear to be a boring person.
