My plan
Wannabe Itzy english version. music video. outfits- typical jeans and hoodie to start with, any outfit choice of each person. Beginning half be about forcing a figure. working out a lot, stuffing clothes, makeup. Few dance moments using original dance, overlay outfit shots, messing around in a bedroom, having fun, girls night.
Possible people in it- Lilliana, Beth, Holly, Abi, Alisha
outfits- flairs possibly, fancy tops, crop tops, skirts, boots,
Places to film- abandoned building (ask permission)
Other music videos- racism, hate, self hate, peer pressure, trying too hard, being someone your not. shown as a narrative based video, they are all both amplified by the lyrics and video and illustrated through the video. Saturation is quite low but concentration of colours is high, dark shadow and mid highlights, hues depends on the message of the song (happy videos have a sunset hue relating to the sun, sad videos have a cold blue hue over and highlights are lowered while shadows are brightened) Graphics aren't used through these videos, if there is a water scene they don't green screen it, even if the idol is falling from a high point into water, its not edited, explosions are real, Artists are represented as the main ones having issues, i.e. eating disorders standing up to haters, but they all end up standing up in the end of the video. They mainly use long shots or panning shots. if close shots are used they show only the face on high zoom. Showing full shots allows the watcher to see more, allowing them to get a better grasp on the meaning of the video. Locations vary depending on the meaning of the song once again. A defiant and rebellious song usually use abandoned places or dump sights to express the 'leaving things behind' message or showing them abandoning any pressures they faces in the past. Fun and uplifting songs used with girl groups mainly use bedrooms to show a girls sleep over or slumber party to also show them locking out the outside world and them being in they're safe space with the people they love to be around. Approximately 8-12 shots can be seen, also depending on the video, skipping scenes and showing different members or situations. The amount of locations usually stay around 4, however if there are about 5 members, there are usually more as there is a set location for each member, not including the shoots when they are together as a group.
Each music video usually go against the stereotypes of people, mainly men, by allowing them to wear outfits that might seem "girly" such as long earnings, sequin tops, cropped tops and hoodies and pink, however they also portray them in a masculine manner. For girls, some outfits are shows as very girly or they go fully against the stereotype, once again depending on the video meaning. This shows that there shouldn't be stereotypes and anyone can wear anything. The music is usually Diegetic, shown when each member sings they're line during small clips, however in some scenes they are non-diegetic, shown when each member is showing they're struggle. Most of the well known videos are high production value, however there are a high number of Kpop music videos that are actually low production value. The target audience is usually towards teenagers and early 20s year olds who deal mainly with fitting in and how they look. Each music video is directed at different genders. Girl group songs mainly direct towards girls and boy groups mainly direct to wards boys. They show people dealing with peer pressure, bullying, self-hate and identity issues.
How to plan- Alisha working out short clip, beth looking at different outfits short clip, Abi just staring at her food at dinner table, holly doing work and having piles next to her, Lilliana on bed, headphones in, diegetic music, backing music playing through headphones so watchers can hear, zoom in on face, take one headphone out while looking at camera. music starts, show every scene again but with them moving around. Spin camera each time coil sound can be heard. Just before lyrics start, gets out of bed, long shot showing room, getting out of bed, skip to whole group dancing to the beginning of the song, skip to next scene, someone working out, looking at body in mirror, quick skip to dancers, back to person looking disappointed and falls on bed face first.

Lyrics
= Beth 12
= Alisha maybe 13
= Emmy 12You're nagging non-stop
But I’m my own boss
Gotta let me work it out for myself
Don't need your guidance
I do what I wanna
Just leave me to own my own mistakes
And let me breathe, I need a little freedom
To make big girl decisions
[Pre-Chorus: Yuna, Chaeryeong]
I'm so bad, bad
I’ma get all I can get
'Cause good girls always finish last
I'm done with trying to please somebody else
I'm just on my way
Don't need you in my space
Sorry if I let it slip but
I don't care what you say
[Chorus:, Yuna, Lia, Chaeryeong]
Won't pretend to be someone I'm not
Yeah, I’ll be staying true to myself
I wanna be me, me, me
I won’t change, I'm loving what I got
’Cause I know I'm perfect just the way I am
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
[Verse 2: Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Lia]
(Action)
Errbody, errbody, errbody teaching me (All eyes on me)
Gotta do this and that, always interfering (Don’t touch me)
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got flaws, so take it or leave it
I'ma do my thang, just do your thang
'Cause I'm the one and only
[Pre-Chorus: Yeji, Yuna, Lia]
They all think that they can be the judge of my life (La, la, la)
Nothing else to do but pick apart, criticize (La, la, la)
Sorry, I ain't got time for your meaningless opinions
It's none of your business, I do my own business
Won't pretend to be someone I'm not
Yeah, I'll be staying true to myself
I wanna be me, me, me
I won't change, I'm loving what I got
'Cause I know I'm perfect just the way I am
I wanna be me, me, me
Hey! Hey!
No matter if you love me or hate me
Hey! Hey!
I wanna be me, one and only me
If you feel me, turn this beat up!
I wanna be me, me, me
[Chorus: Yeji, Yuna, Lia, Chaeryeong]
Won't pretend to be someone I'm not
ThurYeah, I'll be staying true to myself
I wanna be me, me, me
I won't change, I'm loving what I got
'Cause I know I'm perfect just the way I am
I wanna be me, me, me
[Post-Chorus: Lia, Yuna, Chaeryeong, Ryujin]
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
