Initial group ideas

After discussing our ideas that we had over the summer in our group i think we found a common theme occurring with the members of our group. We had all looked into an older style of music for example, Motown, soul, jazz ect. So after researching songs on youtube we decided that a good style we could follow would be 1920's style music which we felt had aspects of all the different types we had looked at individually. We then found the song 'Singing in the rain' but it was a remix by Mint Royale ft, Gene Kelly. This then lead us down a more interesting path of crossing old with the new.

This song is exactly the type that we want to use in our final music video. However, this one we may feel is a little too techno and too modern for us, but we still really like the song and so far we have come up with some really creative ideas. For example, we have now decided we want our 20's style video to look really chic, so we have decided that we want the whole video to be in black and white, which will capture the era much more effectively. We have also decided to use actual rain and to have a dance sequence using umbrella in the rain. We thought that these aspects would create a more realistic 20's atmosphere.  Thinking about mies en scene we want to have our dancers dressed in a 20's styled fashion eg, bowler hats, braces etc.
