Outfit Choices | Song Performance
This is a slightly inaccurate example of the outfit for the song performance, it is the closest we could find to the outfit we have planned for the song performance but this is just an example.
Outfit Choices | Planning the Date Outfit
This is similar to the outfit we chose for the character to wear whilst on the date.

Research As A Group
We, as a group decided to look at some other videos and research into outfit choices as well as other ammeter music videos for inspiration and to be clear on what we wanted.
Outfit Choices | Earrings
We took time out of a scheduled lesson to make choices about earrings for specific outfits throughout the video.
We tried on each earring to see how they looked on Sophie (our main character/artist) and decided which would go better with each outfit.
These earrings were not chosen, firstly because they were heavy and immediately uncomfortable, secondly because they didn't match any of the outfits we had in mind.
These earrings did not match any outfits we had in mind.
After some debating, we decided that these earrings would not fit the music video because they simply, weren't big and loud enough.
We chose these earrings to be worn when the actor is in the character of the obsessive girlfriend because of the black feather representing darkness as a complete contrast to the light and purity of a white feather.
These earrings were chosen to be worn in the date scenes.
These earrings were chosen to be worn with the song performance outfit.

Analysing Selena Gomez's 'Slow Down'
 |
| An opening shot is very important, it sets the scene and immediately tells the audience what they're in for. In Slow Down, their opening shot was an establishing shot of Paris, we associate this scene with glamor and excitement, this foreshadows the rest of the video. |
 |
| The car is speeding down the street, it is classic and classy black and adds a sense of mystery to the video in the beginning, in fact, Enigma code is used in the first few seconds because the audience isn't sure what's happening or where the artist is. |
 |
| When you finally get to see the artist, her first line it ironically "Now that I have captured your attention" and you realize that, that is what has been happening over the past few seconds you have been watching. |
Capturing our audiences attention from the very beginning is also something that we need to do, to make them want to keep on watching to find out what's going to happen.
 |
| There is a total of just 5 shots from when we start watching to when we see the artist, this continues throughout the video and in the end each shot is the artist only, this shows her importance, the fact that we need to keep our attention on her and tells the audience immediately that she is the artist. |
We will use this in our video, as it is a common convention that is used throughout different music videos and one that is evidently successful.
 |
| A minimum of shots used in between seeing the artist reminds us that she is the one that we're listening to. |
Close ups enhance importance, something we are seriously considering and remembering when planning our own video.
Both screen grabs are taken within the same note, but mid-note they cut to a different setting and outfit. This is definitely something we should consider while planning our story board and filming.

| Each setting, along with each outfit has a portion of the artist performing in it |
This is something we have considered to have in our video, as it ties each story line along with each other.
Something we will definitely include in our video, but for a different reason, we will use it to increase the thrill and mystery.
