Music video update-filming for the first time.

We filmed for the first time today. We have a lot of it done. We still have the idea of a clock with all four girls around it, making the clock look bigger than the girls, but we didn't do that today. We got most of the verses done and one chorus, but we have decided we might need to film more for other choruses.

Our girl band -"Fiesta"

The girl band featuring in our music video are called Fiesta.We came up with this name because when we decided to have a up beat song with lots of dancing, this shows the young girls going to a party. In spanish, Fiesta means Party in English. We thought this would be original and work well with our image as this is the kind of image that we were going for.
They were spotted whilst performing in their local club by someone working for Universal music, whose other artists include Lady Gaga, Eminem and Amy Winehouse. They also used to manage the Spice Girls, whose group is quite similar to ours as they are all individuals and have the sense of 'Girl Power'.

These are photos of our storybooard. These are some of the shots that we are going to do, and what member of the girl band is going to be in each part of the song.

Lyrics.

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I have chose to do the song "Gimme Gimme Gimme" sung by Amanda Seyfried because i thought it would be a good idea to change a old video into something that will be enjoyed by modern day youths.
I am working with Beth Rashbrook, and together we have a formed a girl band, which is made of four girls.
The song is about relationships and finding a man. I think this is a good theme as most girl band songs are based on love and men, which seem to sell well in the music industry, especially with teenage girls.

Costume Ideas.

At the beginning of the video, we were going to introduce the group members wearing a black dress with different colour tights or/and belt.

Each girl will have a colour most suited to their personality and will be represent by their colour, like the saturdays.

Going out dresses can be worn during the video to connote nights out trying to attract men.
