Meeting Two.

Because of the change of the initial idea, we had to change the concept around and stick to the literal meaning of the majority of the lyrics. These lyrics are about disliking jobs, hence the title of the song 'Nine2Five'. As we have stuck to these lyrics we have decided upon having the main singer as working in three tiring jobs which are a rubbish picker in a park, a window cleaner and a worker at a plain and boring office (may be subject to changes). The part of Lady Sovereign would just be of her rapping to the camera on swings in a park,  an alleyway and in-front of a graffiti wall. This would be only a side performance as the main focus is on the band The Ordinary Boys as they sing the majority of the song.

Filming Day 1.

We film all of the Lady Sovereign parts, this was very successful as the weather didn't make the filming impossible. We attempted to use the dolly for tracking however we found that the camera was shaking vigorously because of the bumpy ground. We agreed that this will be no good for the music video so we decided to do the majority of the filming handheld.

Music Video Director.

Jonas Åkerlund. 

This director is known to make music videos in forms of mock short films or trailers which make it very entertaining for wide audiences.
He makes videos in the form of intertextuality such as 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga and Beyonce, where there is a typical image of two 'rebals' making a run away from the police however, this could be critisised for voyeurism because of the revealing costumes and very adult scenes. His aim for this music video was 'A follow up from Paparazzi' where it's very sexy and ends with the singer thrown into jail and getting mugshots. Yet the beginning of the Telephone video starts in jail. This is filmed on a movie set to make it as realistic as possible and has a three minute intro just like a movie along with other narrative breaks with no music making the video around ten minutes in total. This is to make the story behind the video more clear and his aim may be to focus on the characters rather the music itself.




There are other music videos of his which stick to the outline of having an intro at the beginning like a movie. Maroon 5's 'Moves like Jagger' starts off with a mise-en-scene of auditions in black and white before going to colour during the song. This sets up the scene of a typical audition show which has a vintage edge to it i.e from the '80s There are intertextual references in the song as the chorus refers to Mick Jagger, from The Rolling Stones. This reference is seen through the main singer who could be portraying Mick Jagger.





Another music video of his his made of two contrasting versions. The song is 'Who's that chick?' by Rihanna. The day version is a very bright, colourful and girly mise-en-scene whereas the night version is more of a dark, gothy and edgy mise-en-scene.Like the other music videos, there is a shirt simple narrative at the beginning and both the starts and ends of the music videos are laid out like a movie.
