Planning our ideas

Me and Daniel really like the idea of using voyeurism in a music video. But obviously not over the top, as that wouldn't be appropriate. We can't decide whether we are going to use intertextuality, or voyeurism, or who knows perhaps both if we can find a way to.

But anyways, we looked into examples of both to see which of the two we were most interested in.

Here are examples of video's which use voyeurism, and we discussed how we became influenced by them.

Akon-I wanna love you ft Snoop Dog.

Britney Spears-Toxic


I think that fragmented shots of body parts used in a music video are catchy sometimes, but only when not too revealing. I love the fact that everybody gets a chance to be free. Voyeurism video's show that an artist is comfortable with their image and body.

Voyeurism adds fun and entertainment to both females and males audiences. Me and my other group member both agree to using voyeurism in our A2 music video we are going to be making this year. We like the idea of a gothic sexualised look, and we are going to use this in our music video.

The title of our chosen song is called "Pretty little angel"and it is going to be about this guy which used to be in a relatonship with this girl, but they brake up and his ex still wants him in a sexualised way. Through this video we are going to have many shots of the guy singing, but also of the girl almost trying to win him back by arousing him. He still has strong feelings for this girl and almost gives in to her.

Rather than a boring fully obvious narrative music video, we thought this would be more unique and fun to make. Me and my group thought it would be interesting to use a few bondage props, but obviously not the extreme ones. We were also thinking that our artist(the guy) will be sat on a chair perhaps tied up, or maybe blindfolded. While this is happening, the guy is singing whilst the female(his naughty ex if you want) is pleasuring him in so many different ways.

The type of shots that are going to be used in this music video, we were thinking quite a few of them will show the notion of voyeurism. I feel this is very easy to achieve, as long as we find the right kind of characters. Both people acting in this music video must be confident, and ok with showing their body parts off.

We chose a song which is a fast beat song, so therefore we can have a lot of shots showing their sexual relationship. This makes it easier for us to create the dramatic and abstract effect we are hoping to create.

I really enjoyed the Stripper music video, the one with the three girls painting the guys body with a paintbrush, and you get extreme close-ups of the action.
