Locations, Costumes, Make-up & Organisation of equipment

Locations

Where are we filming and how will we get there?Our choice of locations have been quite convenient for both me and Charlotte and our actors. Our first two filming days were located near our Sixth Form, so it was easy to get to and from. One of our actors, Charmaine, doesn’t attend the same Sixth Form, however living local is was easy enough for her to get the bus there and back. Having chosen locations that was near to us all, it helped in being able to organise days when we were all free and were able to travel. Another location we used was in a park and a house in a village near to our sixth form; again this location was easy enough to travel to, as there is a regular bus. As well as this, one of our actors Charmaine, lives in this village and it was her home that we filmed the inside shots at.

Costumes

Who will organise the costumes?In our music video we had decided in our planning, that we wanted our actors to be wearing black; however this is also something we considered when choosing our actors. Both Charmaine and Ethan have a look that we wanted in our music video, and we knew that they had clothing that would suit our music video and genre. On our filming days we would ask Ethan and Charmaine to both wear black, but to try andwear something different each time, so we could add some variety to the costumes used throughout the music video.

Make-up

As previously stated, we chose Ethan and Charmaine to star in our music video for numerous reasons, but for one, that they both had the right look for our genre. This applies again with make-up. Charmaine usually wears dark make-up and also has numerous piercings. This together is the perfect look that we wanted for our music video, so we told Charmaine to just wear the make-up she would usually wear on a day to day basis.

Organisation of equipmentWhat props do we need and where will we get them from?

Throughout our music video we haven't used many props. The only props we have used is a mobile phone and a watch. These are not something we had a major issue in getting as most people in this day have both a mobile phone and a watch.

What equipment do we need and where will we get it?

The majority of our locations were situated outside, meaning the only essential equipment that we needed was the camera and tripod. This again wasn't something that we had a problem in getting, as both cameras and tripods were available to use and sign out of the Sixth Form.

Other organisation

When planning days to film, we created a groupchat on Facebook which allowed us to organise whenwe were all available to film. This also allowed us to organise where we were all going to meet, the locationwe were going to film at and the time we were all going to meet. We found that this was a easy way of communicating with each other and it allowed me and Charlotte to inform our actors on how much more filming we needed to do.
