Filming information

Actors:
Our main actress (the artist) will be around the 17-19 age range. We chose to have them around this age as this is the age that the majority of our target audience will be. Therefore, by having the actress at the same age range, the audience will feel they are able to relate to the actress more and so resulting in the video being more of a success. Our actress will fit into the conventions of a modern popstar (attractive, long straight hair, clear skin etc.)
Our male actor will also be around the 17-19 age range to compliment the actress and also to make the narrative more real. He will be attractive to some extent, but not as attractive as the female. This is to compliment the narrative, suggesting she was too good for him and therefore matching the narrative that she will be better off without him.
Our third actress – the one in which the male is cheating on our artist with in the narrative – will be attractive, but not as attractive as our artist. Again, this is to create this idea that our artist is better then her and to create this empowering feel.


Shooting List
Firstly, we will shoot the performance based scenes. We will do this late December/ early January. We hope to get all these shots done within one day, but are prepared to return to the beach for a second day if all shots are not completed. We have chosen to shoot this first as it is the scene which takes up more time in comparison to the others, so by completing it throughout the holidays we are able to make sure all our attention is dedicated to the video, as appose to term-time where we may be focused more on our other studies.
Within the next few weeks after shooting the video, we will shoot the narrative shots.
The scene of the our male and the third female in the car will be shot in either mine or Laurel’s car or a relative, as this minimises any costs and is also more applicable. The shot with our artist in her room with her friends will be shot in one of our friends rooms – again, minimising costs. We will choose the most feminine room available to again create this empowering feel to the narrative.
