Mind Map of Initial Ideas & Screen shots of Inspiration

A particular sequence I like is from Destiny Child's Bootylicious (1:15-1:23) which features various dance sequences being edited together very quickly with cuts to black, in between each of the shots.

Cuts to black then next shot:


Next shot:


I can see this same sequence in my own video with Lollipop, where the girl band (2NE1) are singing the last line of the first verse. It's tempo resembles the tempo in Bootylicious where Destiny's Child sing :-

Baby can you handle this
Baby can you handle this
Baby can you handle this
I don't think you can handle this

Another video with a shot that would suit with the girl band in my video, is Can't Speak French (00:05) by Girls Allowed. This is a shot where the girls are walking in a line towards the camera in slow motion, like models on a runway.

Music Video Mood Board

Above is my mood board which represents the pop/elctro pop genre, in particular, ortiental pop (K-Pop, J-Pop and C-Pop). I have intentionally made this mood board very vibrant and bright in terms of colour as the pop genre is usually very bright, whether it being the the music video of the music icon. I have also included fashion, which plays a major role in pop music, especially in the oriental pop scene. There is a specific fashion scene in countries for example, Japan where they have Harijuku girls and boys whose clothes express their personality and individual style. Hairjuku girls have been excessively represented in Gwen Stefani's image (as of 2005), music, and fashion brand (L.A.M.B.).

Here is a clip from a documentary exploring contemporary Japanese pop-culture (particularly the fashion in this clip), similar to Korean pop-culture.
