statement of aims - draft

When shooting my music video, the setting of the soul r&b music video in the Design Museum in London grasping the futuristic aesthetics. I will be using a wide range of camera angles and shots to match the slow upbeat tempo of the song " Junie " by Solange. For instance, the first 16 seconds of the song is instrumental so therefore I will capture a centred wide pan shot of the performers standing in front of a design art piece looking into the camera posing and cutting shots of the different art in the setting.

Jorja Smith wrote Beautiful Little Fools at the age of 16 when she read The Great Gatsby she was inspired by a passage where Daisy expresses that she hopes for her infant daughter would " Be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool " Jorja Smith played on these words in her song.Jorja Smith released the song on International Women's Day on March 8 2017. This was aimed to inspire and empower women and young girls to have self-respect and not look to a man for reinsurance.  The audience expectations of the music video being released on International Women's Day is that the content and ideology is made to empower women and make females feel self-esteem. This is evident in the music video as the Star plays three different roles in the video representing different types of women in society. The first roles she plays is a women who is applying red lipstick on her lips as the red connotes love and sexual, in this role you c...
