5.1.11 - Molly forwarded a message from Ian which contained the recording of The Shoop Shoop Song, this is helpful as we will be able to match the lyrics to the timings which will essentially allow us to create an accurate shot list and get an idea of how many shots we need to get in the little time we have on the filming day.
Here is the first recording we have been given of the band. I am not sure if we will get a second recording or a higher quality one although it now gives us a chance to hear what they sound like but we have also learned a few key things.
For starters we were told that the three female singers all share the vocals and have an equal standing in superiority however, from this, there is only one main vocalist. This means we will now more than likely result in the lead vocalist having more shots during the music video rather than having an equal amount between the three.
As I am in charge of the overall look of the band I think the singers should take the triangle formation where the two backups are on either side of the lead and slightly further back, this would make sense for the music video aesthetics but also it would allow the two back ups to appear in more of the shots rather than perhaps standing to the side. They should appear in more shots as the band representative said the singers have equal standing and thus as the music video is potentially an advertising ploy, they should at least have more shots than generic back up singers might have.
As I have looked at Dream Girls as part of my research for clothing ideas, I will now have another look at it and look at how the stage is set up, where people stand etc. I will find different ways the girls can be displayed and to see if there is other feasible ideas that would work.
