Costume
Here, we have decided to think about the different costumes that we can use in our music video. The costumes that we use need to be carefully thought out as the costumes will anchor both the target audience and the music genre that this band falls into.
Lyrics
After completing our research, we have decided to begin developing our product. Firstly, the music video. We have looked at the meanings, both subtle and obvious, behind the lyrics for our chosen song, and also how we can use these meanings when we create our video.

Existing Digipaks
After researching our main product, the music video, we also need to look at the other two products; a Digipak for the album and a magazine advert for said album. Firstly, we decided to research three exisiting digipaks, so we could gain a better understanding of how these products are designed and the meanings behind the designs. We looked at Fall Out Boys' Folie a Deux, All Time Lows' Nothing Personal and Youmeatsixs' Take Off Your Colours.
Conventions Of An Album Cover
After analysing three different CD covers, we decided to comprise a list of all the features that are conventional on a CD case. We did this as, we believed, that this would allow us to easily see what is expected to be included in a CD cover, but also what challenges have been made to the conventions.

Primary Audience Research
Once we had identified who our target audience was going to be, we were able to create a questionnaire to gather feedback about important aspects of our video, such as location, and whether there should be a narrative. By doing this we were able to see what our target audience would expect to see from us and. more importantly, what they would like to see from our product.

Secondary Audience Research
We have decided to look at different audience theories as we believe they will help us to ensure that our product attracts our target audience and would therefore give our product a higher chance of success. We have chosen to look at the theories of; Graham Burton, Hartley, Fiske and Abraham Maslow.

Conventions Within Our Own Music Genre
After looking at the conventions of music videos on a whole, we decided that we need to be more knowledgable about the conventions of music videos that are categorised within our chosen music genre. To do this we looked at the conventions of the three music videos that we previously analysed; mainly the representation of the band, the synchronicity of the editing, and the mise-en-scene.

Michel Gondry
We decided to look at some inspirational quotes from the french Academy Award winning screenwriter, Michel Gondry who is also a film, commercial and music video director. By looking at these quotes, we were able to see the way that professionals view their work, the work of others, and how these works will affect its intended audience.

Conventions of Music Videos
We have decided to look at the conventions of a music video that is categorised into our chosen music genre; alternative pop/rock. This is because, we believe that recognising and analysing these different conventions will allow us to fully understand which conventions we should use and which we should challenge when creating our own music video. Having this understanding will allow us to ensure that our product would be as successful as possible.

Research into Existing Music Videos
When investigating existing products, we decided to analyse music videos that have been produced by three well known artists; Blink 182, All Time Low and You Me At Six. All three of these artists fall into the same music genre as our chosen band, which is alternative pop/rock. All three videos both use and challenge the forms and conventions of music videos throughout, and also represent the band in a very positive light. An example of how they use the forms and conventions is that they create music videos that are said to be slightly quirky, normally showing the band to be messing around and having fun, and they challenge the conventions of music videos by almost always creating a video that does not directly relate with the lyrics of the song. By looking at these three videos, we have been able to come to certain decisions on things such as storyboards and mise-en-scene.
