Artist Inspiration

These are the three main artists, which we are going to develop our artists image around. The traits of their images appeal to both the female and male audience. For women, they are all portrayed as being independent, sexy, strong women, this also appeals to the male audience through the male gaze and being sexy and admirable. Each of these artists have been successful, in the R n B genre through many years this is why we have chosen them to base our artists image on. 

 

Aaliyah-
Was a sexy RnB/HipHop/Soul artist active in the 90's. She was a fashion icon and was seen and portrayed as a male gaze. Her songs revolved around matters of the heart and relationships which is similar to our song and we can see a gap in the market for a soulful young new artist that can be sold through her sex appeal and looks.



Mariah Carey-
A successful artist who is still widely recognised. She is seen as a male gaze even now when she is 44 years old this breaks the conventions that for a artist to be sexy they have to be young. They ways her body is shot in this particular video with the silhouettes and soft focuses are what we would like to re create in our video.



Ciara-
She is a sexy HipHop/Soul artist who is a strong female figure and is expressive with her dancing. This video and "Body Party" have a lot of shot types that we are thinking of re creating. We think that all 3 of these artists have traits that we would like to give our artist we want to shoot her video in a way that would portray her as a male gaze.
