Emporium - The Ballad of Miley Cyrus preparation

We began to write the song and throw ideas around to be able to create a funny outlook. We developed this by choosing 3 of her some well known and cheesy songs which we could generate lyrics to match.

Within the next hour

As we had began to create an initial idea, we turned to Twitter and began to find some arguments and interesting tweets online. As this is a very social topic we started going off on  a bit of a tangent in conversation on the subject of Taylor Swift and her ridiculous songs about her many ex's which could pay easily into a comedy realm using song and music by parodying and changing her songs, with one person as Taylor and the rest of us being her several famous ex's.

This inspired us to add silly and over dramatic dance moves and singing to emphasis the point of her songs being the same and a bit boring but getting the reactions of the other boyfriends. However as we started getting underway we then turned to Miley Cyrus and found her recent corruption in the industry of more relevant and much more comedic to portray.

As she started out on Disney channel and has become linked heavily with the dance move of 'twerking' we could portray the corruption of her in a song with many jokes which an audience would relate to and be able to find funny.

Emporium lesson 1

When we had been sorted into groups we began to inquire about attributes we had which could be useful when performing to create some sort of comedy. I could play a few chords on the Ukulele which began to stem an interesting musical aspect to which we could maybe incorporate into our performance.
















This then began our initial idea of comedically creating a celebrity parody through a well recognised social medium to which we chose Twitter. We then  began to play around with celebrities currently in the limelight.
