LYRICS

INTRO MUSIC....You gotta help me out
It's all a blur last night
We need a taxi ‘cause you're hung-over and I'm broke
I lost my fake ID
But you lost the motel key
Spare me your freakin' dirty looks now don't blame me
You want to cash out
And get the hell out of town
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright
Did we get hitched last night
Dressed up like Elvis,
Why am I wearing your class ring?
Don't call your mother
‘Cause now we're partners in crime
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.
And get some cash out
We're gonna tear up the town
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Told me, you told me, told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is (Ooooooooohhhhhh)
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get baby
Shake the glitter, shake, shake, shake the glitter, c'mon!
Give me some cash out baby
Give me some cash out, baby

STORYLINE IDEAS

Casino scenes- Emma playing on a fruit machine
Brighton scenes- Emma on a dodgem in a glamorous dress, slow the clips down and play around with effects, we think this clip would go well with the line 'why are these lights so bright'
Money scenes- Emma throws money into the air, then we have the options in the editing stage to slow it down, reverse, and play around with the clip.
Sunglasses scene/lipstick scene- Emma's lipstick and glasses change colour which will be applied to the strong beat that occurs near the first chorus.
Wedding dress scenes- scenes of Emma in a wedding dress in a fast food restaurant- implying her hungover just married state
Glamorous scenes-Its not a music video without scenes with the singer looking beautiful and dolled up, which is all part of the sex appeal which producers use to sell records. Not to sure on how this clip will be arranged yet.
Colorful scenes- to go with the musics fun vibe we will have scenes of bright color,which contrast with the colour of the previous scene.

IDEA'S & CAST

We have an idea to go to brighton To film some of the music video scenes, were thinking that the bright lights and vibrancy of the town will make our music video fit to the song.

For our video we only really require one person, as the whole focus is going to be on the singer.
Emma Bryson shall be playing the role of lead singer ( or Katy Perry)
Marc Addlesee is set to play the mysterious pig masked husband.
 I (Aimee Cleaver) shall be involved in filming and editing, And as an extra shall i be needed.
Sally Forder also shall be filming and editing, and available to appear on camera if needed.

FURTHER REASERCH - PREVIOUS A2

After looking into youtube videos of a2 music videos we can see what is possible with our camera, a reasonable budget,and props and locations.A2 music videos turn out better than we expected, with similar resources to ours it is possible that we can create an aesthetically good music video, the cameras we have access to aren't of the greatest quality, but with the use of the media departments macs we should be able to brighten the colors and fiddle around with the effects to give the look of industry manufactured music videos.

This is an A2 Music video, it is to the song Hot n Cold by Katy Perry. The students have used the songs beat to there advantage and timed the clips accordingly so they complement the song. We like the story they've used behind this as it works well with their available equipment and locations. We also like this video as it gives us a sense of what we can achieve as we feel they had access to similar equipment and locations we do.

This is also an A2 music video, accept these students used adobe shop pro to edit their video. This shows, as this music is incredible, far more impressive than those you see on the TV. It does show that top quality videos are possible at A2.

CHOSEN SONG

We have chosen to do Katy Perry's waking up in Vegas, as we can see sectors of the song working well with our budget and location proximity

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-pUaogoX5o
This is the official music video for Katy Perry's Waking up in Vegas. We don't want our video to start looking to much like the official video so we keep check to make sure our ideas arnt already in the video ( as there is possibility's we may subconsciously pinch ideas, yet feel as though they are our own)

KATY PERRY

We have decided to use katy perry as the songwriter for our music video, we choose her as we like the beat and variety of her songs, also her music is quite fun so we could do alot with her songs, and we already have ideas flowing, we havent decided what song were doing, its between waking up in vegas and teenage dream.

SONG SELECTION

We are currently choosing between two artists, eaither Katy Perry Waking up in Vegas and Just dance by Lady GaGa.

Katy Perry and Lady GaGa are both know for  their fun music and controversial lyrics, we feel it would be fun to direct a music video to a song by theese artists, we could use colour and fun clips. we can also be out there with what we film as the lyrics and tempo of the song alow for this.
