Prop List and Outfits


Props
  1. Bed
  2. Photo-frame 
  3. Phone
  4. Picnic blanket
Outfit for First Girl

In the present day scenes my character will be wearing black leggings and a black hoodie. this is to connote the sadness my character is feeling during this time period. In the flashback scenes she will be wearing blue jeans and a white t shirt to show shes happier and to show a bigger contrast between the flashbacks and the present. these outfits will change during each flashback but stick to that basic theme.

Outfit for Second Girl

In the flashbacks will be wearing different dresses to make her different from the first girl. this is to sway away from stereotypes of the LGBTQ+ community. in the present day, because she will only be seen in one scene I will have her wearing a different style dress with a hoodie over the top of it, again to show her sadness.


Location number 5

This is the house I will use in my video. I'm using this because it is nearby and local meaning I can get it quickly and easily. 

Location Number 4


This is another road i will be running along in the video. chosen for the same reasons as number 3.

Location Number 3

This is one of the shots I will use during the running scene. It's an every day street which is nice and straight making it easier to run along. This is one of the reasons I chose this particular street. Another reason I chose this one is because it close by to the house I'm using therefore I can run to the location like in the video.

Risk Assessment



Who is Who

Tom Powell- Playing the role of my music artist
Myia Humber- Playing the second girl in the music video. I have chosen her because she is young, physically attractive and good at acting which means she'll be a good asset to the script.
Imogen Angus- Playing the first girl in the music video. i have chosen myself because i know what i want from the music video and think i'll be able to do the role well.

Location Number 2


I'm using this location as a way of making my character more real and to show the vulnerability of her when she's sad. By using a bedroom like this one it keeps it relatable to my audience of young fun loving.

Location Number 1



 This is the one of the flashback locations. I've chosen an outdoor location for this as it connotes freedom and will appeal to the audience explorer. It being outside makes good lighting for what the scene is and the large open space followed by the smaller enclosed space of the river means that it keeps it varied whilst still being the same place.

AV Content


I will be doing a Q&A video with my artist as a way of introducing my audience to my artist. it will be a short video of about two minutes long consisting of questions my artists 'fans' have asked.

Questions:

  1. Why was it important for you to have an LGBTQ+ couple represented in your video?
  2. How long did it take you to write 'Tough'?
  3. You were quite heavily involved with the directing of your music video, what was your favourite scene to film?
  4. Dogs or cats?
