Development of Initial Ideas

Our chosen target audience would about around 15 to 24, which would be around the age of students. I am judging the age rage on the genre of music I am itending to use for my video; Electro pop/Dance.
Ideas for our video includes using bright colours and 80's themed costumes and make up. We also had the idea of having 80's icon references through out the video. For example people like Madonna and Blondie. If possible we were going to try and use clever lighting to match the beat of the song.


These images show what kind of costume we are going to use in our video as they are 80's icons and we are taking inspiration from them.

Our Song Choice

Genre and convention Research

We have chosen the song 'Acceptable in the 80's by Calvin Harris. The genre of Calvin's music would often be classed as Electropop, Electro house or Nu-Disco. It is usually quite upbeat and quick paced. Typical Instruments used are usually Synthesizer, Vocals, Drum machine, Tape loops, Drums, Guitar, Keyboard. Typical conventions videos of this genre use are bright colours and flashing lights. The images in the videos usually match the beats of the song. They usually include dancing as the music is quite quick and sometimes classed as 'Dance Music'.
An example of this would be the artist example.

The video also includes a lot of shots of the artist and then back to the audience to show that they are having a good time.
