Research into the Message

The message of our music video will be about women empowerment, rights and equality. For this I have chosen to use the song "salute" by Little Mix as its lyrics portrays this message very clearly.

In order to portray this message I am using characters that represent important women historical figures. For example:

Florence Nightingale - (1820 – 1910) British nurse. By serving in the Crimean war, Florence Nightingale was instrumental in changing the role and perception of the nursing profession. Her dedicated service won widespread admiration and led to a significant improvement in the treatment of wounded soldier

Mother Teresa -  (1910 – 1997) – Albanian nun/ charity work. Devoting her life to the service of the poor and dispossessed Mother Teresa became a global icon for selfless service to others. Through her Missionary of Charities organisation she personally cared for thousands of sick and dying people in Calcutta.

Margret Thatcher  - (1925 – 2013) The first female Prime minister of Great Britain, she governed for over 10 years, putting emphasis on individual responsibility and a belief in free markets. (10 hidden)

Marilyn Monroe - (1926 – 1962) American actress who became one of the most iconic film legends. Her films were moderately successful, but her lasting fame came through her photogenic good looks and aura of glamour and sophistication.

JK Rowling - (1965 – ) British author of the phenomenal bestselling Harry Potter series. The volume of sales was so high; it has been credited with leading a revival of reading by children. She wrote the first book as a single mother, struggling to make ends meet, but is now one of most successful self-made woman.

Malala Yousafzai - (1997 – ) Pakistani schoolgirl who defied threats of the Taliban to campaign for the right to education. She survived being shot in the head by the Taliban and has become a global advocate for women’s rights, especially the right to education
