Influences

The video we have chosen to base are music video on 'The Saturdays' 'Work' was chosen after me and the rest of my group researched various different artists and bands before deciding that we would like to do a girl band as we all wanted to be involved in the video and had a lot of ideas to make it appealing and interesting to watch. We chose the genre 'pop' as we felt this could be quite a simple yet effective genre to use for our video and is also usually the genre that well known girl bands tend to be now a days. We looked at a variety of girl bands that we could think of, including; girls aloud, the spice girls, sugababes and all saints. We watched and analysed a range of their music videos but decided that 'the Saturdays' was more appealing for what we were going for, as they are of a similar age group to us, so it would be easier for us to appeal with our target audience. We also all agreed that we like their music and had a lot of ideas as to how we could set this music video location wise, and we wanted to include a dance routine to fit in with the conventions of the 'pop' genre, and felt we could do this with our chosen song.
