Initial Video Ideas

As a group, we brainstormed ideas for songs with each of us thought would be a good idea, and eventually settled on 'Do Your Thing' as it was an upbeat song, which is what we were looking for.

We instantly decided to make a video which was quite perculiar, so as to fit the style of Basement Jaxx's videos and the way they make them. We brainstormed some ideas, and originally, planned to have a group of crossdressers in our video as we felt that they are people who just want to be themselves and do what they want, but we then changed our ideas because we felt that it would be too difficult to get 5 men willing to dress as women, and that it might come out too cheesy and not very good. We then made a decision that having a group of people 'doing their thing' would be a good idea, and defined it as having a laugh and a good time, doing whatever they please.

Working on this idea, we chose certain types of people to be the group, as there would be a range of different people, like breaking stereotypes by having them all in the video together and being friends, although people would expect them to be entirely different, in a way so that they are 'doing their thing' despite what people think.

The types of people that we decided upon were a goth, a chav, a geek, a granny and a new raver. We felt that this gave us a good scope, from young to old, and different youth types.
