Craving Serotonin by Clainagh Black (LVH)

Star Clothing - Performance

12blackc01 — 2025-05-13 09:23:23 UTC

Alternative with still fem appearance (e.g. Skirt, pastel colours)

Colour Palette

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 07:58:55 UTC

Some light, yet still dark tones to bring in a morphed idea of innocence, a twist on stereotype of females falling head over heels when in love with someone

Star Makeup

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:01:56 UTC

Simplistic yet still very visible makeup - would show up well in the video, and create a distinction from the star and the band (could use during Performance segment)

Fonts

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:09:31 UTC

A font that is imperfect and overlaps with segments of other lettering works well with our theme and brings in a grungy, unbalanced idea to the brand

Star Clothing - Narrative

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:09:40 UTC

Feminine, uses softer colours like beige with harsher colours like black. Draws in this Binary Opposition (Strauss) of sweet v dangerous

Star Clothing

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:10:01 UTC

Shoes are feminine, and look formal, which would imply maturity, but the act of being obsessive and over-baring over people and relationships is often seen as immature. This brings in a sense of juxtaposition.

Album Covers

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:15:09 UTC

This is an image of a cover taken by the artist who made the cover we're using. This grainy affect is appealing yet in our own work, we could try adding more colouration.

Album Covers

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:15:18 UTC

This album has a grainy affect, yet remains in colour which is appealing. The use of imagery around the edges is also intriguing and provides a sense of lack of cohesion.

Album Cover

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:15:27 UTC

this style, has themes of black and white, as well as a pop of colour. This is good because it'd draw the audience's attention.

Album cover

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:15:37 UTC

Feminine and powerful, by holding an object it gives it meaning for the audience to decode. The star still looks feminine but also holds power which is shown by the facial expression and the prop.

Editing Techniques

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:16:53 UTC

Interesting editing technique which is unique, can be experimented with and is easy to do using photoshop, has potential for the brands design

Editing Techniques

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:26:52 UTC

For our brand, there's been an unexpected reality within our themes, so this style of editing could be intriguing and fit well.

Band Clothing - Performance

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:27:51 UTC

Simplistic, and blends in without standing out too much in comparison to the star. This is also simple enough and adaptable that most people would have this kind of clothing already.

Band Clothing - Performance

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:29:18 UTC

Clothing is casual, and not all composed of black, meaning that it is a realistic idea of how the people used for the band may look.

Band Clothing - Performance

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:32:13 UTC

Clothing is fully black, with fitting shoes and a unique jacket which suits our darker theme.

Location

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:32:21 UTC

The isolated location relates to the unease caused by the genre of music. The body language portrays the emotion of the star, it represents them as feeling alone, sad and even scared. Isolated, dark locations and settings are things which relate to our branding.

Editing

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:32:30 UTC

This style of editing really relates to our themes as it is dark and also a bit twisted, which represents the main branding of feeling of addiction and attachment.

Star image - makeup

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:32:41 UTC

The makeup is quite simple, however goes really well with our branding. It is dark and represents the star as a powerful female.

Location

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:32:57 UTC

The isolated setting is dark and plays into our theme. Therefor, if we could use this sort of location it would work really well.

Editing

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:33:06 UTC

This editing technique is really good as it looks dark and mysterious but also could signify the theme of being trapped. This relates to the obsession and attachment issues.

Camera

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:33:16 UTC

This camera shot/angle is very good for lip syncing, it is dark and also gives a good opportunity to show the main star singing.

Star image

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:33:24 UTC

The clothing is dark and relates to the themes represented by the genre of music, this is the sort of clothing that people would probably have to buy, so might not be the easiest to get but would work well for our brand.

Props/costume

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:33:32 UTC

The use of a black guitar and the black costume go well together, this is something which could easily be achieved as most people will own black/dark clothing and a guitar can be borrowed.

Editing

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:10 UTC

This editing adds mystery and makes the image feel creepy and weird, adding unease which makes the audience feel a certain way when they see it.

Star image - band

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:17 UTC

The band will wear something slightly different from what the stars shown in the narrative will. This means that when images are on the social media and digipak, and also videos in the music video, it will be easy to differentiate who is in what.

Star image - makeup

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:25 UTC

This is very dark makeup which we wouldn't use in the video, however as it is creepy and weird, it may possibly be used as an album cover.

editing

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:32 UTC

Editing has been used to make the image blurry, this would be a good shot to show the band together. This is a good shot and a good editing technique as it adds mystery to who the people are.

Star image - band

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:41 UTC

The use of props like the musical instruments is crucial for taking photos and videos as the band will appear on the social media page, the digipak and also in the music video.

Props - band

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:36:52 UTC

For the performance in the music video we will need musical instruments. These shouldn't be too hard to get as we will be able to borrow things.

Star Image - Narrative

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:37:04 UTC

A dark outfit with opposing lighter colouration. this would connote for our star how there's darkness underlying the innocence.

Star Image - Performance

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:37:22 UTC

This style of outfit is dark - black colours yet still composed with a heart belt and pink highlights on the skirt. It's a suitable outfit for the star.

Location

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:38:32 UTC

This isolated setting portrays feeling of unease and is very creepy. This would be good to use as it compliments the music style/genre.

Location

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:38:51 UTC

We have access to a location similar to this, so this is a good option. It is also a isolated setting so adds to the unease and weirdness that our branding portrays.

Star Image

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:39:01 UTC

This outfit brings in a casual sense to our star image, and could be a possible route to take our ideas.

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 08:40:24 UTC

This camera angle and editing technique makes the audience feel uneasy, it also relates to the main theme of our brand which is the addiction and attachment issues.

Band Image

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:40:42 UTC

Simple outfit, with boots, jeans, a band-tee and a plaid shirt. This is basic, yet still brings in the edgy undertones we're wanting to see.

Our Star is...

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:54:57 UTC

A female character that isn't afraid to be feminine in her dress. But she holds underlying ideas about her band mates, and keeps her fears close to her chest, to the point they're beginning to spill...

Album Covers

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 08:59:08 UTC

This could be an idea we use, as it would tie in our star, as well as our ideas of her being obsessed.

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 09:04:49 UTC

Interesting ideas of abstract, creepy tones mixed with femininity

Lighting/Editing

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 09:06:40 UTC

This creates an emphasis on the subject, and is a useful and effective way to bring in more colour.

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 09:08:56 UTC

Ties in this idea of sweetness which could be used in our own work to think about the stars representation

Star image - makeup

12ingrouillel01 — 2025-05-14 09:19:28 UTC

This makeup is dark but also has some colour which makes it look feminine, bold and also represents the star as being powerful. It is quite simple so wouldn't be too difficult to do.

Fonts

12blackc01 — 2025-05-14 09:19:41 UTC

Intriguing and unique font, has a sense of oddity, and the use of the wavy flowing lines and the star in the 'o' is appealing.
