Our Character

Here is our character leah. Leah has been a best mate for many many years and we decided that she would be the perfect role for the part we needed. when we mentioned that we might need her for a model for our music video she was excited to get involved. This was very good for us as leah has had past modeling experiences meaning that we knew we could trust her and we knew she wouldnt be shy to do anything and wouldnt mess around. As you can see from the photo, Leah is a very pretty and photogenic girl meaning we would be getting some extra photo's of her to use for out ancilary products. You can also see that Leah dresses quite indie and the outfit she has is fairly vintage. This is good because it shows that she has the right fashion sence to match what we want on the video. We decided that we would let her chose her own outfit for the shoot, knowing she would dress in a vintage fashion, and this is what she wore. She came wearing a pair of high waisted jeans, converse allstar shoes, a cream jumper and a white blouse/cardigan, with a big fur jack and scalf. This is the perfect image we were looking for.

The Track

The Song that we will be using for our final video is is "What better place than here - Chris Barratt"

The lyrics are

"

It's not that easy being true to yourself
It's not that easy when you're getting older
It's not that easy being true to yourself
They grey hairs on your head in the mirror


You go your way and I'll go mine
What better place than here
And what better time than now


It's not that easy being true to yourself
You can't deny that you take advantage
It's not that easy being true to yourself
I gave you all I got, you wouldn't have it"

Preperation

Now we have finished all our research for our music promo video we are now practically reaqdy to shoot. We have booked our character Leah in for our shoot and now a shoot date of the 25/10/2010. As we managed to give Leah notice in advance it meant that we had the time to work out exactly what we would be doing on the day.

My friend has now sent us a draft of his song that we will be using. This means that we are now able to storyboard what our plan of action will be as we still have time before the shoot date so we are as prepared as we possibly can be. We will have to gather up our props and costumers for the day. From listening to the song and looking into the lyrics of it we got an idea of the perfect image that we wanted our character to have to fit in with the genre of the music.
The next step is the planning section!
