Kate Nash 'Foundations' - analysing existing media texts

This is something we need to look into a lot of detail- a video by Kate Nash herself! The colour scheme is quite unique- being quite muted, lots of beiges and pale blues- but with splashes of yellow such as Kate's dress, a Power Ranger toy, lemons and bottles of lager in the fridge. As the long is about a couple on the process of breaking up- to me the splashes of yellow represent hope and happiness amongst the storm. I like the idea of doing a similar thing with 'Pumpkin Soup'.

Also, a lot of stop motion is used- the couples' socks trying to get tangled up with each other and their toothbrushes trying to 'kiss'- this gives a fun childlike element to the video. In terms of camera shots, mostly close ups are used as Kate is telling us her most intimate thoughts- and these make us feel close to her.

Unlike other female solo artists, Kate more or less sings/lip syncs throughout her whole music- as her songs are like stories that just need to be told rather than just music. I think we will probably employ this within our music video to try and fit her usual conventions.
