Planning- Overview of the audience task
Interview with a big Marina and the Diamonds fan
What about Marina and what about her music videos made you become a fan?
"Her whole style and personality made me become a huge fan. How she breaks the conventions of the normal "pop star" look is what I most like about her. Its also how she brings the 50s look into her music videos as she creates it in her own way and makes it look very modern. Her songs are also very catchy and I absolutely love the lyrics to all her songs".
What makes Marina different to other British artists?
"She embraces the American culture much more".
Briefly explain one of your favourite music videos by her and link it to the camerawork and editing.
"My favourite Marina and the Diamonds music video would be "Mowgli's road". This is because the video itself is very simple. The editing they use is simple yet absolutely amazing. I like how they make her legs into these paper legs and change her body parts to almost look like a jack in the box type thing".
Because "Valley of the dolls" does not have a music video, what sorts of things would you expect
"I would expect the music video to this, if ever created, to have dark themes and a kind of scary and spooky type editing to create suspense for the audience as this will help keep them engaged. I would, personally, want it to be very weird and haunting. A music video that leaves you wondering what the actual meaning behind it was".
Which British artists are most like her and what are your reasons for this?
"I don't think most British artists are like her. Her attitude and vision separates her greatly from other artists in the British music industry and this is why she has a strong fan base following her in America rather than in the UK".
