Detailed song choices

Sugababes - A million miles 
Our inicial ideas for this song is that the girl band would be dressed in winter clothes and they are outside walking in the cold in their individual scenes. The are each singing their own parts and although they are singing about love, a boy does not appear in the video. The lyrics are about getting through the tough times of a relationship but still coming out strong in the end. In the choruses of the song the girls would all come together in the same scene and have the girl band performance element. The idea of the video is that the girls are thinking about their relationships and how the good stuff about the relationship makes them want to forget all the bad stuff. The individual scenes would be shot on a long pathway, road, corridor or any piece of land to have the visuals matching the lyrics and the title of the song.

Katy Perry - One of the boys
Our ideas for this song is that at first there is a girl who is very much a tomboy and has only male friends. She acts like a boy and generally dismisses the fact she is a girl. Through out the video she starts to realize she actually wants to be more of a girly girl and she develops a crush for one of her male best friends. Through out the video she gradually turns into a girly girl wearing make up, pink, hair done nice etc and she walks into a room full of the boys and nobody recognizes her except for the man she fancies. This type of video can be filmed both out on location for the transition into a girly girl and then we could also film in school for the scenes when she is with her male friends.

Kelly Clarkson - You fond me
We could create this video in a very literal way. A boy and girl could be walking around through crowds with obstacles getting in their way and they are eventually leading to one another to a reunion. There would be lots of nearly finding each other but missing them by a few seconds. On their journeys together, there will be flash backs of the two together as friends because they've only just realized the romantic feelings they have for each other which is why they are finding each other. The main idea is that two good friends have realized that they are actually in love with one another and they are finding each other to confess their love.

We have narrowed our song choices down to these three songs and have discussed ideas for the video including narrative, location and costume. Two of the songs are solo female artists so we would first have to try and make sure the girl band would suit a solo song. As for the girl band itself, we are still unsure of the members because different songs and genres require different aesthetics.
