Planning: Costume

There are various options to choose from as I try to get the right costume to represent the performers age-wise. The reason why costume is very important is simply because it shows a time a form of professionalism for example, the costume matching the theme of the music video like an heavy rock music video would have performers looking dark with long hair and jewellery etc.

(1st costume) - The costumes plays a great part in music videos as it helps identify what music genre the music  video is in. I then realise that the costumes that will therefore be  used might not cost me much simply because of the casualness aspect the video is going to have. The first character's costume is going to be a green hooded sweatshirt, this coloured jumper is used for a specific reason such as using a stereotypical idea that young people tend to wear bright coloured clothing. I then researched into the cost of this particular hoodies as a back up plan incase the clothing might need to be bought.

I have also chosen a blue jeans because its a piece of clothing that as a wide variety of audiences that it appeals to and also this clothing is know to be used by all age group which makes it stand out to more audience.

(2nd costume) - A dark coloured t-shirt, this piece of clothing gives the audience an opposite opinion to character from the first character. 

Planning: Casting

The reason casting is very important before making a progression into filming a sense is having a reassurance that the characters are suitable to perform the role. the characters i have chosen are people that i have spent a lot of time with so i therefore know what roles they are suitable for the most, there is also going to be the use of lip syncing as this shows a great knowledge of skill that will portray the

Character 1 - Victor olatunbosun

Victor is a very reliable individual that is prepared to accept a challenges, he is quite confident on camera but sometimes loses focus but nevertheless he is a capable individual for character 1.









Character 2 - David olatunbosun

David is a very active individual and isn't shy from the camera. he is also realiable to take on the role for character 2. however due to his age, he doesn't have much experience with performing in front of camera.
















Character 3 - Daniella martis





Daniella martis is a very young female character, the reason she is chosen to take part in the music video is the fact that she brings a pure innocent mind which therefore means the audience have more sympathy towards are compared to the other characters.

Planning: Filming Location

Location is very important when filming as the location need to be suitable, meaning no distruptions that can lead to difficulties when filming. This then refer to me thinking in depth about the right location to use, the first thing that came to mind is using a well knowned location for my music video so i therefore know what to expect using the location.

I also though about lighting as this playes a hugh part when fimling any media production, if the location is an indoor location, I though about equipment that  will be needed to make the right lighting for the music video however if its an outdoor location, I though about what time of the day will be perfectly suitable for to use, the reason I though about this is due to past experience of using the wrong time of the day for filming and leading to not getting the right amount of filing done on time.

My first chosen location which i think will be very suitable for my music video is using my house as a location, the reason i choose this location is the availability, the fact that i can use the location at anytime that i find suitable makes it very reliable to use and another reason for this location to be chosen is the fact that my music video is going to be based on a family lifestyle and using a family home makes a perfect match.

The music video is going to start of with the first character in his/her bedroom. so therefore having a bedroom that looks steroetypical to the characters bedroom is very important, the reason for this is for example, a teenager cant have a bedroom full of antiques and traditional designs that is more likely to be suitable for an older character.

Graphics Match Test

Here is an experiment I did using editing to therefore produce a Graphic match, this is great editing technique to use as it show a great perception of understanding.The idea  have chosen for this is simply using two framed art-work, tilting the camera from the top to the bottom of the artwork and then therefore doing the same method for another artwork the other way round and the graphic match was done through editing making the first artwork's frame looking similar to the secong art work and the the only different in the video will be the art in the middle of the frame.

I started of with selecting the video clips that i have took of the artworks and then went through an editing process of matching both clips together to make it look as one.
