Storyboards!
To aid us in our production we storyboarded many of our ideas for the video - hopefully we won't have to deviate too much from these storyboards, but if needs be we will!

Style guide!
Throughout each of my tasks within both my GCSE, AS and now A2 media courses I have always produced a style guide to aid me in my research and design process. As a group we all had our input as to which fonts we personally liked and assembled them within a word document so we could analyse them together. 'Bauhaus 93' was a firm favourite throughout the group.
UPDATE:
Sadly, the Glee version of 'Marry You' has been decided against due to the complexity of the video. Therefore we will be using the original Bruno Mars version for our Advanced Portfolio.
Due to the song being changed another style guide has been produced using the same fonts that were previously used. However another favourite was chosen, this being 'Nueva STD Cond' as it fitted the 'look' of the words Bruno Mars and also represented the romance of the song more clearly than 'Bauhaus 93'.

Locations!
As a group we are aware that the types of locations used can either benefit the song or distract from the meaning. As the song is very romantic we decided that large open, green spaces were needed - with this idea we decided that Abbey Ruins will be an ideal spot for large amounts of filming.
However, as there is a struggle within the song, sections of filming are needed where there are parent figures around. Therefore one of our homes will be used with our parents present to show the struggle within the relationship and give the idea that their love is so strong that it overcomes all.

Target Audience!
Bruno Mars' has a target audience of both genders between the ages 14 - 25. The majority of Bruno Mars' promotional work is on the internet, something that I believe is due to his target audience being surrounded by the internet. The promotional work for 'Doowops and Hooligans' is largely on the internet with the use of a website, Twitter and Facebook. As a group we believe that our video will fit tightly within the 14 - 25 bracket - as Bruno Mars has not produced a video for Marry You we believe that our video will be 100% individual.

Lyrics!
The lyrics for 'Marry You'
As a group we have studied these lyrics and tried to find locations that will fit the genre and lyrics. However, 'chapels' and 'choir bells' have been mentioned within the song, something that as a group we can not incorporate as no location is suitable enough for this (without using a real chapel - highly unlikely!). Therefore, we are going to film certain sections as to how we perceive them. For example, open spaces, parks, homes etc.
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
Well, I know this little chapel
On the boulevard we can go
No one will know
Oh, come on girl
Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of patron
And it's on, girl
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bells sing like
Ooh, so what ya wanna do?
Let's just run, girl
If we wake up and you
Wanna break up, that's cool
No, I won't blame you
It was fun, girl
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby
Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby, oh
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you

Our second pitch!
SECOND PITCH:
After our first pitch, we went back to the drawing board and begun our second pitch. With our song choice definitely being 'Marry You' the Glee version we began to look at locations and casting among other things in more detail.
The research that we undertook included genre posters, looking at the original Glee version in detail so see how many singers there was, the combination of male/female vocals, appropriate locations, props and whether or not a band would be required.
Alongside the research for the main production we also began looking at ancillary tasks and the requirement of a ‘digipak’. Our group began to think about what tasks we should do and decided on a DVD cover and insert, CD cover and insert (both inserts will have around six or more double sided pages within the booklet) and a music magazine front cover. As there are three of us within the group there will be nine (or more) ancillary tasks in total.
Here are a few sections from our presentation:

Our first pitch!
PITCH:
After deciding on the two versions of 'Marry You' we was then given the task of pitching our idea to our media teachers. As a group we worked on our presentation and discussed ideas for; casting, locations, costumes, codes and conventions and the mise-en-scene that would be needed to make our music video a success.
However, as you can see this pitch was our 'first' and will do our second pitch on the 20th October due to a misunderstanding with the Glee version of the song. The Glee version has a cast of eight cast members, both male and female throughout the song. Part of the misunderstanding was that we had decided to keep this Glee version 'simple' and have two cast members, one male and one female, however this would have meant that the harmonies would be different throughout.
