Meeting 1

In our first meeting, we bullet pointed various ideas concerning our performer (our notes).
- get a female singer
- dress them up as a guy
- be ambigious about gender
- androginous
- reveal singer gradually (shot clothes first, then face)

- be experimental with shots
 - have a variety of shots (CU, MS, LS)

- colours vibrant

- unique, creative

- experiment with blurring
- lighting depends on if we are shooting in daylight (outdoors or indoors)


- performing shots: maybe like adele's "someone like you" in one shot, maybe with seperate shots at the beginning
- conceptual in stop motion

- think about illustrating lyrics

- our band's look

- mix different looks together => headphones?
                                                => flowing/loose clothes
                                                => a bit of gothic (colour like emilie autumn) (bohemian/gypsy)
Emilie Autumn



                 Bohemian Style Clothes



                                                => hat?
                                                => suits (vintage)
                                                => if person has long hair tie it up and let her take it out at some point (as a way of revealing gender slowly)
                                                => colour hairspray?
