Target Audience

Beyonce’s most frequent listeners are typically women between the age of 20-34.

Scheduling and distribution

Our music video will be available worldwide through online social media channels such as YouTube at no cost, this will make it available to a larger target audience.

Genre

Our song falls under pop and R&B/Soul, which will mean the audience are probably going to be younger and more on trends, people who are interested in empowerment.

Themes

Our theme is empowerment and giving listeners confidence. The song is a pick-me-up.

Settings and locations

We aim to film our music video indoors using available facilities such as sports hall. This will mean that lighting is consistent and the various costumes can be worn indoors.

Legal and Ethical

All dancers/actors will need to sign consent forms so that we can confidently use any images/videos taken of them.

We also need to be careful of what language the song contains such as swearing etc that we will need to remove.
