Music Video Representations
Our video plainly represents Nova as being a confident, not sexualised woman who is independent in herself.
Whilst other music videos represent women as having to dress revealingly in order to gain confidence, our music video represents women's confidence as exuding from being expressive in themselves. This representation of females is shown throughout the music video. This is shown by Nova always being covered up with clothes, even in the bathtub shots, Nova is wearing a T shirt, making her not sexualised.
Nova is a representation of a young adult/ teenage female. Her representation is to be confident and true to your self. This is expressed through Nova's personality within the video. Nova is never shy, her actions and movements are always large and unapologetic. She makes eye contact with the camera throughout which shows the confidence which she has.

Music Video First Draft Feedback 2
Our teacher gave us feedback of how we could possibly impreove our music video.
- 39.05 + 1.02 - my love - Nova sings out of time with song
- Contemplated if the mug should be used
- 1.19 - blurry
- Shot of Nova in a dress is very pixelated and does not fit with the other shots, so we completely removed it.
- The shot at 2.23 needs to be longer
- At 1.31 the lip sync is off
- There are 3 weird shots - eyes, spoon, shivers, sofa shot dissolves
- 39.05 - lip syncing out

Song Inspiration
During the deciding process of choosing our song, we made it clear that we all wanted a fast pace, up tempo pop song. After perusing through different mini genres within this genre of fast pop, we decided that we wanted a song with 1970s/80s style pop.
Below are some tracks which we liked the sound of before choosing NAO's Nostalgia.
Night Fever by the Bee Gees is a classic within the realms of 1970s pop. This song has a similar beat to Nostalgia, noticeable by the fast beats and "funky" sounding instruments used.
Next is Michael Jackson's Beat It. This song is from the 1980s pop movement which additionally has a similar beat and tempo to nostalgia. NAO also has a similar sounding voice to Michael Jackson's - due to both being sopranos and singing in a higher register.
Once listening to these songs, we decided to use NAO's Nostalgia ultimately. This song had attributes of 70/80s pop which is what we were aiming for in our song.
Here is the audio to the song we chose for the final music video
