2. Who are the models/actors for the piece?
Our main actor that we have chosen for our piece is a
young teenage girl who faces the common pressures of
relationships therefore we will create a narrative based
around that. We choose them because we thought she
had the most potential and fitted the nature of the song
and the artist that we want to portray considerably well
compared to other auditions that took place.
Furthermore she also showed a fairly quirky and different
personality about her, which was similar to the artist and
therefore similar to the song. We will also be including
other actors within our music video who are portrayed as
another couple, we will be using ‘olivia’ as we used her in
our AS media work last year and she impressed us a
considerable amount so we feel more than intrigued to
include her again.
3. What costumes do you need?
The costumes that we will
need for our music video are
very abstract and quirky, with a
big fur coat to represent her
personality. We will also be
using other actors in our video,
which will therefore be
wearing also a fairly
mainstream casual look, by
wearing jeans, plain top and
trainers.
4. What locations will you use?
We have chosen to use an urban
setting and therefore we will be
filming in built up areas in their
nightlife for example London or
another built up town area. We
also would like the artist to be
filmed alone in a room therefore
we can cut between the scenes to
therefore have a nice contract
which will therefore make the
video more interesting.
5. Do you need any props?
We wont need many props within our
music video although the ones we will
need will include bottles of alcohol, a
small clutch bag and phones. This will
therefore add to the theme of the
music video we want to create, as it
revolves around carelessness and
roaming around the streets, being
stuck in relationships etc. modern day
technology and conventions will
therefore need to be included.
6. What lighting styles will you use?
The lighting styles we would like
to use within our music videos
will be dark and misty which
reflects the nightlife of London
portraying pollution and harsh
lights that are common factors
within town life. We will also use
spot lights on the main actor
when shes singing on her own so
all focus will be given to her, and
its also a common convention
thats used in R&B/pop music
which portray struggles.
