For our mood board, I decided to research more about the artist Regina Spektor, by doing this, it has allowed me to see what other similar aritsts there are out there. Regina Spektor's style of music appears in several different categories 'Anit-folk', 'baroque pop', 'blues' and two of the more well known catergories being 'indie rock' and 'pop'. I decided to look into Anit folk first, however, not many people who are targeted for Regina Spektors music- Teenagers (mainly girls) would recognised artists associated with Anit- folk, but Laura Marling has a similar sort of voice to Regina Spektor, I felt that she would be someone that fans of Regina Spektor knew well, and would also enjoy listening to Laura Marling. Moving on from this, I then look into the 'indie rock' side of Regina Spektor, this lead me to Marina and the diamonds, again, the lead singer has a similar voice to Regina Spektor, however, it is more on the 'indie pop' side than 'indie rock', Florence Welsh from 'Florence and the Machine' has been categories as indie pop and baroque rock, therefore, I have been able to make a link with both Regina Spektor and Marina and the diamonds. Carrying on with the 'indie pop' and 'indie rock' side, Kate Nash fits well with all of the artists stated below. Finally, I looked into more about Lenka from my video analysis, she fits into the 'indie pop' category, so I thought she would be suitable for our mood board, as she has a similar voice to Regina Spektor, even if shes not quite in the same category. Overall, I feel these are a suitable like to Regina Spektor as they all have similar voices and are mainly aimed at the same target audience.

Jemma. Brilliant linking of artists. What it would be sensible to do now is to idetify key visual or stylistic motifs from their work. I'm not too knowledgable on Lenka but look at the styles and fashions of these artists, what locations do they like to be seen in? Is the Male Gaze present in their videos? What stylistic elements could you realistically emulate in your video?
