Steal-o-matic

Our steal-o-matic is composed of visual references taken from music videos, programmes, images, and gifs that have inspired us in some way during the creation of our music video. 

The 4 key set ups that we have tried to show in the steal-o-matic are:

• A powder paint fight - we originally planned to do this in the studio but due to the amount of mess this would make, we have decided to film this scene in Epping Forest
• A playful balloon scene
• A neon scene - we hope to use this mainly for lip-syncing, using close up shots of the lips coloured neon, and switching between a negative effect as well
• A projection scene - we really want to use projections of archive Alice in Wonderland footage to be played over the artist
• 
  

The main themes that we wanted to convey in the video are:

• Friendship
• Playfulness
• Dancing/Partying
• Being in a world of your own/power of your imagination/what goes on inside your head etc - all relating to the title of the track 'My Head is a Jungle'
• 
  

Our main narrative reference was to Alice In Wonderland - mainly the 1951 Walt Disney produced film version. The main points we wish to draw from this narrative are:

• Eating the cookies/cupcakes at the beginning of the video
• Using archive footage as projections, or with a double exposure over our own footage
• Scenery and prop inspiration

Our artist image:

• One female vocalist - a young girl who is attractive but not overly-sexualised, similar to artists such as Katy B and the singer of Route 94.
• 2 male DJs, like Disclosure
• An element of interaction between the female vocalist and the DJs like AlunaGeorge

Editing:

• Reverse Shots - particularly in shots with lots of movement, similar to the reverse shot of neon paint jumping up and down in our steal-o-matic 
• Negative effects to contrast with the neon scene images
• Silhouettes
• Flashing lights/strobe effects

Mise-en-scene:

• Balloons, possible some filled with glitter
• Balloons in the shape of a giant mushroom
• Balloon fight
• Possibly sparklers
• Big sign posts, similar to those in Alice in Wonderland that point different ways and lead to confusion 
• Pinata
• Forest/Mushroom forest
