Development of Idea on Feedback

Because the feedback we got from our peers and teacher suggesting to film more extreme closeups of our actors face to show emotion, we've come up with the idea of using neon paints on Phoebe's (actor) face and hands to still go with the theme of her partying and the disco lights. We'll also use the paint to represent messages, for example, we'll have her smudge it below her eyes like she'd been crying or have her drag her hand down her neck like she's been strangled. 

 We took these test shots of using the neon paints on our hands and putting them next to the UV light to see what it looked like on the camera to see if we liked it. When looking back at the pictures we then came to the conclusion that we're defiantly using this idea because the paint shows up really well on the camera and we think it'll be effective in our music video. 

Me and the rest of the group wanted to do something with neon paint but coming up with the idea & to see if we think it would work we watched 'Super Bass' by Nicki Minaj which at the end of her video features her and some dancers all in glow up outfits and makeup. After watching the video, we thought it looked cool and we then decided we wanted to use the paints, however, even though we used Super Bass as inspiration we'll be using the paint in a different way and for it to represent different meanings because the context of both of the songs are completely opposite from one another.
