Our Pitch:

Song Title/Band name/Genre: Rogue Traders- Voodoo Child (dance-rock, electro-rock, electro-pop)
Idea: The thought that women are just as powerful as men, and can take control of any situation just as well as a man can. Our idea focuses on the concept of a young man being infatuated with our main star (me). We will use voyuerism with both characters, with a strong but provocative women who is a matriarchal figure. The young man is genuinely under her spell and entirely besotted with her. The idea of voyuerism will be portrayed through the characters clothing, actions and choreography. We will also use intextuality, with an underlying Grease/1950s theme, using actions, clothing and mise en scene suited to the genre.

The USP: Our unique selling point is heavily influenced by the theme of the woman being in charge. Considering recent films/books that have been released (50 shades of Grey), we have decided to break that stereotype and have the woman in charge, which would appeal to an audience of all ages and genders. The idea of pro-feminism also links with historical accounts, as women are taking control of a situation, which opposes the natural stereotype of men being in charge. Also the woman constantly subverts the stereotype of men being the stronger sex, and takes the eyes away from the male and brings them onto her. Although there is obvious sexual tension between the two characters, the woman is obviously playing with the male, instead of it being the other way round.

Choreography: We had planned to use basic choreography, with both characters, to extend the stereotype and theme, having the woman in control of the dance and the male eye following her. We planned to use controlling mannerisms and devilish stares to emphasize who is in control.
