Alicia Keys
Alicia Augello Cook know as Alicia Keys is the final artist I will be referring to that is linked to our own artist identity for this coursework. She was born 25th January 1981 in Manhattan, with her first solo song being released in 2001 "fallin" earned 5 Grammy awards in 2002 who was then the second ever American artist to win 5 Grammys in one night and "fallin" won song of the year.
Alicia keys is a know R&B, Pop, jazz and hip-hop styled artist and has released many hits over her career, she incorporates piano in the majority of her songs as her voice suits this along with her common music inspirations being about love, heartbreak or female empowerment. She mixes classical piano with more popular genres such as R&B and pop into her music and it works extremely well as we can tell by her hit songs and won awards

Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera is known for being her sassy, confident sexy individual who don't only sing but acts an dances as well. Shes starred in her own film called "Burlesque" as a dancer who wanted to get away from her diner girl life and make it as a dancer/singer, the film was a huge hit all around the world as boosted her fame even more.
Her songs range from emotional to fun styled music, her voice is unique and it lets her sing in all styles which is why shes released so many song styles and is hard to describe her music style. Her first song was "Genie In a Bottle" which brought her into the music world as it was a huge hit in the 90s, however she is known for producing some sexually charged songs such as "Dirrty" and "Lady Marmalade" . but as i said she produced sad songs, fun songs, sexy songs all types of themes but it works with her as shes a woman of many talents.
setting for filming
The choice of setting was my idea I had thought of my dance
studios, the drama room and the fitness room, the reasons as to why I thought
of these places was…
- My dance studios- it’s a dance studio therefore connects with the idea of our music video, it’s a beautiful studio and will make the video that much better by me being in a real studio. However the problem was that 1 it’s in Dartford therefore time is an issue as we would have to get there during the day when were meant to be in school 2 the availability was very limited, it didn’t fit in with our timetable so we had to eliminate this option.
- Drama room – this is on the school premises therefore were able to get there and use it whenever without travelling, it has lighting board and is available whenever we wanted if we booked it out.
- Fitness room – I thought of this place as it’s also within school so it’s easy to get to when we have media and need to film, it has a mirrored wall and I loved this as an idea to have me dance with the mirrored image of myself, I thought it would be a really camera shot. Only issue was that the room was a greeny blue colour and it wouldn’t of looked right filming with that in the background, even though we thought of ways around it we knew it wouldn’t work.
We decided with the drama room as its available, has
adjustable lights, it’s a big space, looks good on camera and will make the
music video look somewhat real.

Adele
Adele is best known for producing emotional yet relatable songs about relationships, her songs are always massive hits such as "Hello" and "Someone like you". However over the years she's released huge hit songs leading her to fame, her unique singing voice and style of music is loved by many which equals her success over the years.
I have chosen Adele as a music artist example as her music style fits in well with our ideas for the music video itself, its not just the backing track we like its the style and lyrics as well, the lyrics tell a story in every song of hers and our idea is for our music video to portray a message as well.
