FURTHER PLANNING

ETHANS PLANNING POST

Organisation of actors, locations, costumes and props

During planning, all of the above things had to be considered and thought about. Organisation of actors will be easy and simple, as other than the band, the only people featured in the video will be our very own Ethan and so therefore meaning communication is easy and we will be able to plan when to do our filming to suit us both easily. With regards to organisation with the band we will discuss when the filming is suitable for them and plan to have a session in the band practice room, and then a filming session with the band at the Old Mill, which we propose to do a Tuesday morning, when none of them are working and when we can use our media lessons to film off school site. 

Locations have all been considered and thought about, and so we have the band shots in the practice room and the mill. The narrative has a few more locations including inside a house and on the house, we have also considered using a subway like location as they are quite an eerie location which could add to the feel/emotion of the music video.

Costumes were discussed with the band and we decided to have them dressed in casual clothes which they would usually wear. This therefore allows a true representation of each individual allowing the target audience to identify themselves with the band members. Costume for the narrative side of things will be Ethan not overly dressed smart but an aspect of smartness in order to show the effort that he is making for this girl who stands him up in the narrative, just to add to the story and show how much he cares about the relationship.

Not many props will be needed in either side of the music video, obviously the boys will need to bring their guitars to filming to show the performance aspect. In the narrative props which we have considered are a leaflet of 'Taste in Colour' in order to show the audience where the boy in the video intends to go, and maybe possibly some beer cans.
