Initial ideas


When deciding what to do for the music video of "Cool kids". Me and Shelby came up with a few music videos that we could watch to give us an idea what to do. They all mostly consisted of the same theme where there is a conflict with cool kids or the idea of being cool.

The first video is "Katy Perry - Last Friday Night". In this video we see Katy Perry as a "Goofy un-cool" girl with the stereotypical glasses and braces. She then goes over to the party next door to tell them to be quite but instantly falls in love with the scene and vibe of cool kids. This is when Rebecca Black gives Katy a make-over to fit in. The idea that we wanted to use as inspiration is the make-over and reveal of Katy; this would be a good convention to have in our video as it matches the lyrics of "I wish that I could be like the cool kids"; therefore our character got her wish come true.


The second video is "Taylor Swift - You belong with me". In this video we see Taylor Swift fall for a guy who is dating on of the popular girls. Throughout the video we see constant conflict between Taylor and the rival cool girl. In the end the boy chooses Taylor. The inspiration we got from this video was the attitude, appearance and rudeness of the cool kids; we wanted this bully in our video so that we could break this idea and have them belittled instead of winning.


The last video is "Little Mix - Black Magic". In this video we see a twist on how a group of un-cool goony kids transform into people who challenge the mean cool kids and they win over their school. The inspiration from this video that we wanted is the reveal, challenging the cool kids, the goony costumes and then being better than the cool kids towards the end.
