One idea we have for our video is to include text on the screen whilst the video is on. We have had inspiration for this with a few well known videos.
The first video we thought of was Kanye West - Good Life
The lyrics appear on screen throughout the video. We don't want to use this method in the whole video but parts of it. We like the way Kanye has used different fonts and colours to make his video interesting and entertaining.
Here is another example of a music video we have had inspiration from using the same method. This text is different to Kanye's because his is more animated compared to this one (Ida Maria- 'I like you so much better when you're naked') which uses newspaper cuttings. The use of text from the lyrics of the song is very interesting and something we will keep in mind when creating our video.

From looking at Christina Aguilera's video for 'Candyman', we liked the idea of the block coloured background that is used. The pastel colours, with a spotlight through the middle really stands out as it is different from the usual plain background.
As we are including the gender swap, the use of the blue would fit well with the male part. And the pale pink fits very well with the female part.
This would have to be either done through the green screening, or edited on photoshop.
We also looked at the Ciara video for 'Like a boy'.
We liked how the same person can be edited to be stood next to eachother. This shows the two gender differences in an interesting way which is what we are aiming for in our video.

For our video we have created the idea of shooting part of the video with Franki as a girl and the other half of her as a boy. This will match the song title 'Boys and Girls' and is quite new and creative as it is not often used.
From this idea we have had a few inspirations. Our first inspiration was when Lady GaGa shocked the nation by dressing up as a man at the VMA awards.
For this she had short hair, minimal make up and wore a suit. We don't intend to make Franki look as manly as she was but we liked GaGa's style. When she dressed like this it created a storm in the media proving popular with her fans so we believe Franki can have the same success with her audience.
Our second inspiration is from Mariah Carey who also dressed as a boy for her video 'Obsessed.'
In this video, she is dressed as both a man and a woman. This will be quite similar to our video but the story line will be different. It makes the video interesting and imaginative and also makes you want to watch it again. That is one factor we want our video to have. Mariah Carey is usually branded as young, glamourous and girly (just like our artist) however in this video we are able to see another side of her which is what we wish to achieve with Franki.
Another thread of inspiration has come from Beyonces - 'Countdown'. This doesn't contain any male references but we like all the shots used for example the mirrored shots and the split screen.
