Kerry Thompson proposes that their group recreate the music video for "Up" by The Saturdays. They feel it would be easy to lip sync and recreate since it is a fast-paced pop genre video. They suggest combining a narrative storyline with performative elements like dancing, as the song is danceable. The narrative could show the group members pushing away men to show they are "in control," referencing the lyrics. The class will vote on which proposed video to recreate.
2. What music video do I think is best?

• I propose that we should recreate the music
video ‘Up’ by The Saturdays, it is a fast paced
‘pop’ music genre type video which would be
easy to recreate and lip sync too. I have
chosen a ‘pop’ genre type video as it is easy to
mix a narrative and performative storyline
with.
3. Narrative or performative?
• I think that it would best to combine both of
these storyline types but with a wider focus on
the performative type as the song is fast paced
and one you would expect to dance to. As a girl
group it is easier to create a performative type
video as only dance moves would need to be
choreographed as well as lighting techniques and
editing. The narrative part of the music video
could involve all members in our group and show
us pushing away several men showing us ‘in
control’ as mentioned in the lyrics.
4. Which proposal?
• To decide which proposal to use, the class we
are presenting them to will decide which one
most of them preffered. The one that is most
favoured will be chosen for our music video to
be recreated to.
