1. Background
For my background music I will be using a song by the pop artist called Mabel. Mabel
McVey (born February 20, 1996), she is known by her stage name Mabel, is a Spanish-born
Swedish singer and songwriter based in London. Mabel is mostly known for starting her own
musical career in 2015 with her debut single entitled "Know Me Better". She is also known
for the catchy chart-topping 2017 hit "Finders Keepers" and the associated music video, as
well as working repeatedly with renowned songwriter and record producer Joel Pott.
Thinking of you conceptand ideas:
Thinking of you is one of the tracks on Mabel's' ep and is the one we have chosen. I chose it
because it is not as popular as her other songs and I feel as though you can play different
themes throughout the video. The concept of the video is that she has been friends with a
guy for a long time and has fallen in love with him but she is not sure if he feels the same
way, so throughout the video we see her battling with her own emotions of why she cannot
stop thinking about him.
Performanceand narrative
The message that i am trying to get a across in the video is the emotional turmoil individuals
feel when they're in love with someone and are not sure if that person feels the same way.
The story that I am trying to tell is the idea of a girl trying to get on with her everyday life
but she can't get the guy out of her mind. The guy will not be shown in the video to
emphasise on the idea of blind love. By doing this I hope the audience will focus on the main
artist and connect with her emotions. I think the feeling of love is a big attraction for my
audience because love is a common issue and topic in teenagers life. I have chosen not to
include any dance routines in video as I think it will not fit the style of the video.
The music video
In my music video I am going to emphasise the emotions of the artist. There will be shots of
her with her friends and doing everyday activities but with the track still playing the
audience will be able to see that she is still thinking about him. I will include lots of close up
shots and mid shots to emphasise how sad she is.
