Here we have put together a collection of images that reflect our initial ideas for our music video. When you look at this mood board, you instantly get a strong impact of colour and abstract images and there i believe it is a good way of effectively concluding our main focuses we want for our video.
Nicki Minaj and Azelia Banks are two music artists that have specifically inspired us. We like the extravagant costumes and original ideas Minaj always brings to her music videos and the colour and energy that theses factor bring with it. Moreover, we have included Azelia Banks due to her urban like character and distinctive lyrics and beat found in her videos. We believe that Azelia Banks is the closest icon we can relate to our chosen genre and song and therefore we will research further into this artist to build upon our initial ideas.
There is a clear contrast illustrated in our mood board; Pop and Urban. Our first theme for our music video is based around the pop culture which includes bright colours and an exciting, girly atmosphere. To support this theme we have included images such as multi-coloured powder fights and tie dye patterns. We would like to use these pictures as ideas for scenes and also take the colour schemes we have gathered from our images and put them into costumes. Other images consist of abstract hairstyles and vibrant stage makeup.
On the other hand, the contrasted theme that we also want to include is Urban. This is based around the rough city lifestyle an gives a stronger and more powerful impact on the audience. We believe this will fit nicely with the lyrics in our song and relate the literal meaning of our song title 'Beat Down.' Therefore we have taken images of boxing gloves, graffitied walls and breakdancing which will specifically fit to the drop of the beat and the dancing genre of the song. As the beat of the song is a distinctive feature, We would also like to include a drum and believed that a Military Soldier would be an effective way of displaying this due to their strong status.
Overall, we use this mood board to collect costumes and props for our music video and progress further towards storyboarding for our final ideas.
