ACT: Carly Rae Jepsen
TRACK: Call Me Maybe
YEAR: 2012
GENRE: Teen pop
VIDEO:
The track that I have chosen is Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, because I think it would be funny and comical to do as a group. My idea would follow the same narrative as the original video, however there would be a comical twist, with elements of drag when lip syncing. It would be easy to film as it could be done in various locations around school, such as in a classroom and outside on the grass. Not many people outside of the class would need to be involved, however during group scenes it may be more effective to have more people taking part. In the original video there is both a narrative and a band performance, so in this new video there would also be a performance, which would be shown through lip syncing, rather than having an entire band play instruments. There is a link between the narrative and performance, and Carly Rae Jepsen lip syncs throughout the video. To make sure we would have enough shot variety, I think it would be best to film shots of lip syncing to every lyric, which would act as a back up if, when editing, there was a lack of shots for whatever reason.
Some elements would need to be changed, for example at the start the man in mowing the lawn, but if we were to film it in school, it would be more convenient to use a sweeping brush. And also, unless a teacher would be willing to let us wash their car, an alternative, such as dancing, may need to be incorporated. The costumes would need to be everyday wear, and not many props, apart from a sweeping brush and a hair brush to act as a microphone, would be required.
