A band or single performer?

So basically at the moment the band is called: 'The Coralliens' where there is four band members. However I've been doing some thinking and I wasn't sure if a band would be appropriate for the song knock em out by Lilly Allen as she is a single performer. The story board could be tailored to either a single performer or a band as all we would do is change the people.

Band idea:

If we were to have a band then the idea would be to have four band members and them changing in the song (like the Tia maria video below. For example in the performance part of our idea the girls would be performing but changing faces and costumes. However as all four of us wouldn't be able to be in it and film this would cause problems on getting the correct angles and composition. Another idea also came into action. We could still have the band but there is one main girl singer and the others feature, however after much research into band videos you often see the band constantly together whereas if we were to have one main singer and other band member this wouldn't look like a proper band and defeat the whole object of a band.


Spice girls - wannabe




Girls aloud biology



The Saturdays - Higher



As you can see in all these popular band videos the band members are constantly featured together. I think we should conform to band characteristics and constantly features us, no just in some parts.


Single Performer idea:

The second idea for the video would be to just have on single performer. We were thinking this as the song is by Lilly Allen, a single performer. For this we would just Taylor the story board to the single performer. However I realised were not actually doing a Lilly Allen performance, we are the Coralliens! We therefore should Taylor the song to our band. As long as we tick all of the marking criteria and get the right shots then the video fit the band.

Pixie Lott - Broken Arrow



As you can see the video is mostly featuring just the main performer. I think we should stick to the band idea as I want us to all feature in it!
