The final cut of my music video..

Monday 15 December 2014

24. Main character

Lauren Oram is a 17 year old student at Gordonstoun, she is 5'8 with caramel brown hair and green eyes. She is currently playing the Witch in our schools production of Narnia. She is a highly talented actor and I think will fit the role of my main actress perfectly. She has a hugely varied acting style and will be able to take anything the shoot throws at her. As a natural actress working with her should be more seamless and much less stressful than working with someone who is unfamiliar with working in front of a camera.


Below are some pictures of her in formal and casual attire.

Lexi and Jemma I intend to have dressed 'posh'ishly..They will be wearing skirts and shirts. They will Generally look classy.
Kaisy and Aiden are going to be my token slushy couple. I want them dress similarly, (matching colours or materials)
Sabine and Kezia (first and third from left) will be dressed in cute summer dresses, they are both dancers so will be filmed doing something chorographed rather then normal dancing.
'Adya and Vertiy will be dressed in shorts and crop tops, they will be acting as the token dumb girls..(although not the does not reflect their actual personality's. )
 Beau already has a distinct dress sence and is a dancer, he will be dressed in mismatching clothes dancing as wacky as possible.

20. Story Board for chorus

For the Chorus I would like people dressed as different cliques dancing with blaquareds round their necks with insecurities on them..

20. Different Story Lines-Layout of the music video.

Most music video's have a blend of multiple story lines all running at once. My song talks about acceptance, and embracing the things about yourself that you may not like. For my video I would like to have three (plus one extra)  different story lines running at once.




Story Line One: A surreal setting, upbeat, acceptance, For this I am going to have the main role (Lauren Oram) taking/lip syncing to camera. This is the story with the people with clip boards ect. (see first story board idea)




Story Line Two: For my second story line I want to have 'flashbacks' to what made her so insecure before acceptance. These flash back will flash in and out of the first story line. They will include her screaming during the 'opera' singing line, her being shouted at as a child, crying, being laughed at. This scenes will be mashed with the line about clothes, 'I never really grew up,' 'I'm scared of the dark and the dentist' ect.




Story Line Three: Story Line Three with include people dancing and laughing, generally having a good time, they will all be dressed at stereotypical teens, goth, hippies, nerd ect. They will each have an insecurity written on a plaque round they're neck.




The one extra story line will be her as talking with her family, during the line. 'My family is difunctional, but we have a good time killing each other.' I intend to have a 'family' shouting, screaming, throwing things, laughing, play fighting.


Over the top of some of the shout I intend to have handwriting like fonts depicting the lyrics to the songs.
