So the first idea that we had for our music video was to have a couple arguing at an out of control party scene, the idea would be based around the boy breaking the girls heart and she then resorts to alcohol and drugs. We then decided that we would change the idea to a shot at the beginning of a girl putting on her make-up, preparing herself for the party, she would then read her boyfriends phone and see texts from another girl. She then once again resorts to drugs and alcohol at the party. We also decided on various flashbacks, to show the contrast of the stages of their relationships, from the good to the bad parts. For the party scene we will have flashing lights and shaky camera work to show how out of control it is.

The big four record labels
Through-out my research into my music video, I thought it would be a good idea to research into different record labels and find out some vital information about them.
Universal Music Group
It is one of the largest music companies and is known as one of the 'Big Three'. It was founded in 1934 as Decca Records. It also owns a music publishing group.They are at the top of the music industry due to the fact that they accounted for 25.5% of the music in 2005.
Sony BMG Music Entertainment
Founded in 3rd March in 2004, it is the second biggest major record label in music sales, and was acounted for 21.5% of the market. It used to be a join company, but is now owned 100% by Sony.
EMI
EMI was founded in 1931, It is known as the third biggest record label, due to the fact that it accounted for 13.4% of the sales in 2005.
The Warner Music Group
Was founded in 1958 by Warner Brothers, it is known as the forth biggest record label due to the fact they accounted for 11.3% of sales in 2005.
Looking through the different record labels, it gave me more inspiration for my music video because I looked more into the artists that they had signed up to their companies which then gave me more music ideas for my A2 media task.
