Research: Creating a star image

For our music video Katie and Luke cannot be themselves we have to create them a star image, so we are going to look at existing artists to gain influence and ideas for them. Some of the artist's we are looking at are Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain as well as solo artists like Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and male artists like Michael Buble and Bruno Mars.

Ed Sheran and Taylor Swift are both very popular musicians who write songs that are very popular with both an old and young TA, something me and Caity both want our music video to have. There duet they did together we could defiantly use for inspiration into how we could style our artist's to make them seem likeable as they are both well liked by the public.

Katy Perry is a really upbeat artist, some of the costumes she wears are really out there and outlandish but dosen't really work for our video, but she is a really strong independent female artist which is something we want Katie to represent to leave a good role model for younger girls.

Ariana is a very modern, strong woman who is very independent and her songs show that she is strong and doesn't need a man to validate her success, she is a style icon for so many younger girls as she is young, very pretty, successful  and dresses in the latest fashion. In her video’s she also used Mullvey’s male gaze to attract an audience as she is often dressed seductive and looking seductive into camera.

Michael Buble would be a good person to influence how we style Luke with his clothing as it is very refined and smart looking even when he is not in a suit like we normally see him. One positive to styling Luke after Micheal Buble is that he appeals to both a young and old TA which we can hope it carries on to Luke

How this has influenced my planning 
This has influenced my planning as it has made me aware of how subtle little changes can really help emphasise certain points of other people's character
