Star Persona for music video


The star persona of our artist is going to be similar to the artist of Ellie Goulding the performer and writer of the song ‘Fly’.

She is marketed as a singer songwriter, her music being about music not the materialistic side to selling pop music hence her more alternative pop style.  Her music seems to be aimed at a younger audience and people her own age, as the subject matter seems quiet personal to her. Her music is sold on the quirkiness of her music and appearance, as it is different to more conventional artists who all try to conform to the ideal, whereas Ellie Goulding has the image of being herself and more like the audience she is selling to.
We similarly want to take this persona for our own star as it suits the music and the idea for our video. In the video the video will show her everyday world when she then goes into her dream world.  This expresses how the artist see things which sell the quirky personality side aimed at our target audience (people of the same age who can relate to being different).
 
There are other artists who have similar star personas to Ellie Goulding.  Kate Nash is a good example as like Ellie Goulding her voice and diction is distinct and different from many conventional pop artists. Kate Nash is a singer song writer who writes in a quirky style about herself.  I feel we can take influence with the use of stop motion in foundation (making everyday objects come to life in her world).
The Kate Nash video ‘Pumpkin Soup’ mixes animation with live actions to make it playful. The colours are bright and vibrant which is supposed to reflect her personality as an artist. This is something we want to reciprocate in our video to create the same kind of effect about the star’s persona.
