Test shots



Here are some of our artists test shots, which we took. We used this time to confirm dates and rehearse the lyrics, so that the lip syncing is accurate.

Risk Assessment

Risk
How to prevent it
The train station and London can get busy, during rush hour and at other peak times. As we will be travelling to London with a group of people we need to ensure that no one gets lost or hurt.
  • Our mobile phones will play a large part in making sure we have constant contact with each other in case someone gets lost, as well as this we all need to make sure that if anyone needs to split from the group they stay with at least one other member of the group.

The equipment is very expensive and therefore is at a risk of theft and damage.
  •            We need to keep hold of the equipment at all times, and ensure when it is not in use that it is securely put back in the case and locked. In the group we will set equipment to individual people to be in charge of so we can keep track of it.
  •            When using the camera and tripod we need to make sure that it is secure so that it does not get damaged or broken.

Back Up Recce



Our back up location for the bedroom shots, is at another bed room, which we have received permission to use from Megan Jones. The room has the same colour scheme that we want to use, so if our first location is unavailable we can still follow with our original plans. To travel here we would all need to travel by car as the location is far from our actors home and we are unable to get there by public transport. This may cause issues because as well as our actors we have a production team, for make up and costume so not every one may be available to travel.



As London security can be very strict and difficult to gain permissions, we have decided on other locations in the city that we can use as back ups. Covent garden often has street acts so this will work well instead of  South Bank. It is not the best choice as it is very busy with tourists this meaning that theft can be a large risk here. 
Leciester Square is often packed with people, which makes it a suitable back up location as well. The square is very popular and is often holding events like premiers etc, meaning that we may have to receive permission to film here.





Audiences

We need a young teenage girl who would feel confident dancing and lip syncing in public places, so we need a confident girl that also is rather good looking and her image will sell to an audience. I have researched into some potential actresses we could use and i have gathered images of them and we will begin to contact them asking if they would be comfortable with filming and interview and  audition them as neccasary.

Costume/Prop Design





Our main actress will be wearing wings to symbolise her purity and innocence she will also be wearing a mask to cover her face she will not be shot from the front angle showing her face  throughout the whole video but there will be a lot of close ups focusing on her lips eyes hands and body. The wings also go along with the falling feathers the underlying meaning of the feathers is that they are falling throughout the video and at the end they hit the floor showing her realisation that she does not need a man. the mask gives her mystery and in the video our enigma code is that we do not know why she is like this and what she has been through it is confusing because the man we suspect to be with her is actually a figment of her imagination,

Location Recce

We have chosen this location as our first option because it is white and has fairy lights which is the effect we want. We wanted the bedroom to be quite plain because we are only shooting little parts of the bedroom, it will mostly be close ups of the artist and the fairy lights for this reason this is a better option because it is larger and more spacious. We can remove all wall hanging and change the bed sheets to make the room completely white and plain.
















The First choice for our location is South Bank, this is because it will be busy and there will be street acts and skateboarders in the skate park. This is the best place for us to film because we also want to film big ben and the thames. It has all the elements we want to have in our video.
