24th January first week review

I have researched songs of a similar genre that I would like to do and compared the songs Beyonce- listen and Nina Simmone- Feeling good in my previous blogs that I did off timetable. After choosing the song feeling good. I have created a proposal of what I want to happen as well as props,costumes and who the cast will be.

In order to carry out my proposal and ideas, I researched the songs music video's by other artists of different and similar artists. I discovered Nina's characteristics and signature style to influence the music video.  Her signature head wrap influenced other women to wear them in music videos. She had also written songs after events discriminating civil rights had been taken away. For example on bio true story it stated 'She wrote "Mississippi Goddam" in response to the 1963 assassination of Medgar Evers and the Birmingham church bombing that killed four young African-American girls. After the assassination of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, Simone penned "Why (The King of Love Is Dead)." She also wrote "Young, Gifted and Black," borrowing the title of a play by Hansberry, which became a popular anthem at the time.'(A+E Networks, 2014)

I started looking at prices of props and costumes needed such as dresses and musical instruments.
