Filming Location: Chorlton Water Park
We decided to choose Chorlton Water Park as one of out locations because we thought it would create the image we were looking for, for our video. Chorlton Water Park has a grass field; pond with ducks; a playground and other parts. However, we didn't use this locations because we changed our idea, this therefore this didn't fit in with our idea.

Filming - Day four
Day four of our filming was completely different to the filming which we had done before. We decided at this point that we were going to change our music video completely as we thought that we really needed a peformer. My friend Ruksana who is quite confident and does performing arts had agreed the night before that she would come into college early to help us film, we arranged this through speaking on the phone and she reassured me that she would love to help out. Me Jade and Michael all met up at the recording studio at nine oclock and we had booked in to use the studio a few days before. Ruksana had brought her boyfriend along called Raees which we thought was great as Raees was also quite confident and said that he didn't mind performing in the video.
At this point we chose our song "It Girl". We chose this because it was a song that we all liked and new very well, it was also a song which Ruksana and Raees new the lyrics to which made it much easier. Raees was our main performer and we used the cameras and the editing in the studio to make him in the spotlight. We recorded him from different angles using the different cameras and used the equipment to fade them together. We got a few long shots, some medium long shots and some close ups. We also filmed him sat on a red sofa as we thought it would look like a great prop.
Even though the song is sang by a a boy (Jason Derulo) we thought that as it was a typical love song we filmed a lot in the studio which included Ruksana. We filmed her dancing in her casual clothing and also singing. We also filmed her looked sat on the sofa. As well as this we thought it would be good if we filmed them sat together messing around on the sofa with the cushions, and also filmed them dancing and singing to each other, we thought this looked really created and moved around the camera and the lighting. We also used the lighting to create them both in shadow and make it so you could only see the outline of their bodies. We thought this looked really effective. We were really pleased as the filming went really well and everything was starting to come together perfectly.

Mood board - Planning for video
Once we had chosen our song, I decided to do my own research at home based on our ideas. I had a look through my magazines at home and created a mood board by cutting out images and sticking them on bright yellow paper. I have used some random ideas and some connected to do with props, setting and even shots. I have tried to show the "Love story" theme and I have cut of images of famous celebrities, Kelly Rowland and her boyfriend, and David and Victoria Beckham. They look like really happy together which I think would be great to show with in our video. The silouette images also look like a creative idea to use as it makes them stand out very boldly. I thought about different settings and took cut out pictures of autumn leaves, the snow and also the sun in the sky which looks really effective.
I have also found some different ideas of clothing and what looks fashionable for men and women at this time of year and I love the idea of the glittery dresses and high heels. I have also found some bright red lipstick which could be worn which symbolises love and passion. I have also found some props for ideas which I think will be good, this includes a pink girly vintage chair which I think if we could get hold of would look great. Also, I have ideas for the rooms which could include pink and black cushions. I have also looked deeper into props and I thought that using a mobile phone would be good especially a blackberry as it is about a young love story and blackberrys are phones which are used by many young people
I have included lots of bright colours to create quite a "happy" feel to it. I have also cut out drawn images of hearts and rings and an orange and pink pattern in the top left corner which I think would be a good style design for our magazine advert as it looks simple but effective. Over all I have tried to make this quite creative and have thought a lot about the ideas we have shared as a group and also ideas I have thought of to add to our group.
Jason Derulo's typical audience
Typically, Jason Derulo's music appeals to a younger audience. Listeners of his music normally range from around 14 into their 20's
A stereotypical fan of Jason Derulo is around the age of 15. He's released two albums so his music is gradually reaching a wider audience; his music is more mainstream popular music so is more recognized and appealing.
Production treatment for 'It Girl'
Group details:
Jade Anderson
Emma Cousins
Michael Rowan
The music video:
It girl by Jason Derulo
Duration:
3 minutes 34 seconds
Audience:
We aimed to target our audience towards older teenagers and young adults. The audience is targeted at both males and females with males inspiring to the RnB singer, Jason Derulo and females finding him attractive. Jason Derulo is a RnB artist, similar to other popular artists at the moment such as Jay Z, Usher and Tinie Tempah, attracting many RnB fans.
Resume:
The song ‘it girl’ is about a man who really admires a girl, he flatters her and sings to her to catch her attention. The narrative shows the couple in love and admiring each other, we should this through a number of ways with them cuddling, hugging, holding hands and kissing. Instrumental moments are also included in the video where the male sings to the camera, we also will even feature a moment where the female sings to the camera.
Recording days:
With the changing ideas, we decided that we would have to make the most of the time we had and filmed whenever possibly. We decided to spend our lunch times filming over a week and have decided that we will include the media studio at our college in the filming which would take the whole morning. After finishing the production work, we estimate that we will have 5 days allotted for post-production, this will include completing the editing, insertion of transitions, sound and overall polishing of the piece. We will also make time to complete the CD cover and poster. Addition to the time we spend working in normal lesson time, we have also each individually allocated time to spend working on the entire piece in our free time.

Our chosen song: Jason Derula - 'It Girl'
We've choesen to create a music video of Jason Derulo's single 'It Girl'. It released as the second single from his second studio album, 'Future History' on August 9, 2011 through Beluga Heights, Warner Bros. The song was written by Derülo, E. Kidd Bogart, Lindy Robbins and Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou.
Musically, "It Girl" is a mid-tempo pop and R&B love song, that features a whistling intro and an acoustic guitar melody.
Lyrically, it revolves around Derülo singing the praises of the perfect girl he found after searching all over.
