'Salute' in the Media

'Salute' In The Media

There is an article on the BBC about a woman dancing to 'Salute' on an underground train in Iran. It is an example of women rebelling against their countries restrictions on women. The article can be found at

Storyboard

Storyboard and Shot Ideas

In the end we decided not to story board our video, as with having different shots for almost every line of the song it would have used up a lot of our filming time.

Audience Interviews

Audience Interviews

Before we began storyboarding our music video, Maddie interviewed different people to find some ideas of what we should include in our video. I also went on to ask a few females the same questions, although these were not recorded.


The feedback that Maddie received during these interviews showed that people can have different interpretations of feminism and so we will attempt to combat the negative stereotype of a feminist. Our costumes will be influenced by the fact that many people mentioned the army theme. All of the people interviewed mentioned the idea of having an independent woman as a main character, by showing her gradually climbing the career ladder until she is at the top controlling the men.

Update: 27/11/14

We have since received 7 responses to our survey. Here are these results:

As we can see, further army themes have been suggested. I really like the idea by number 7 saying "Just women in a day to day environment, doing normal things. Just wearing nice normal clothes to show women are just normal people!". I would love to incorporate this in our video, which we will be doing in our office environments. 

Pitch for music video

Pitch for our music video

Thursday 6th November

Today we have performed our pitch to the class. We received great feedback which will enable us to further improve our video.

Feedback:
- Music video challenges due to sexualisation of females. Almost acting as a protest to the heavy sexualisation of females in the music industry.
- Role reversal between the genders - comical aspect to our film. Have males shopping and getting their nails done. Driving stereotype.
- Costume - camouflage/professional outfits e.g. office attire/firewoman/policewoman/dr etc.
- Locations - mainly in Exeter - shopping centres, office, salon etc. - I drive so the location is fairly flexible
- Co-ordination within group for locations - due to the fact that I drive we'll be able to more easily arrange travel for the group
- Permission for filming in salon - my friend owns a nail bar/salon in Exeter so we can use this location with ease. Also it is only 2 minutes from my parent's office where we will also be filming.
- Audition process - ask people to compose a 30 second dance. Advertising auditions around the school for one particular lunchtime.
