mood board

I took this screen shot from Lady Gaga's video 'Bad Romance'. I like the way she has used the skeleton as if it is a real person because it it lying in the bed next to her. It has a really edgy effect. 

I though this would be a good idea for if we decide to do a scene in a cafe/park. The cakes look home made and simple. Kate Nash doesn't tend to go for the really glamorous expensive look so these cakes would be perfect to fit in with this idea.

I love the way these two pictures are edited to make them look like vintage films. This effect would be good to use in part of our music video as it fits in with the Indie conventions and genre. The idea is to make them look individual which would mean not fitting in with the other glamorised music videos that are around at the moment. 

These three pictures would make great props for the scenes. As well as focussing on the location, little touches like props would really complete the mise en scene.

The four pictures above are ones that will inspire the costume we will have in the video. I think it would be affective to incorporate a 60's indie look such as floral and gingham dresses, high waisted shorts/skirts and loud patterns with subtle skeleton accessories such as rings and jewellery.      

We thought as part of the narrative that we would use pictures of the skeleton and the main singer growing up together. Polaroid pictures would be a good way of showing this as the exposure makes them look old and look as if they are from far back in the past such as the 60's/70's.

As part of out video we are going to use musical instruments to show the performance element of the song. These instruments are simple looking and again would fit in with the indie ideology and conventions.

These pictures are ideas for props and CD design. The first three pictures would be good to use on the CD cover as they are simple looking and use the skeleton idea. The last picture uses the idea that the skeleton would fit into every day life and fit in with humans/mannequins.
