PLANNING ON MUSIC VIDEO

SETTINGS

STUDIO
One of the main sets of the video where is where the artist Kally will be speaking directly into the camera. I feel this is a conventional aspect of a number of music videos, especially those specifying in this genre; if there is any acting within the narrative (in this case there is) this is a chance to pull the focus back on the artist personally and have them singing the song directly at their audience.

HOUSE
I will be using my own house and numerous rooms such as the bedrooms and living room to film the home scenes within this video. I feel it adds to the narrative by suggesting that they live together in the same house, they are also quite an average couple in terms of their wealth so I felt using my own home was appropriate as there was no need for an extra lavish location.

THE CAR
I want to use my car to film a scene where texts are found on the boyfriend's phone as I think this is an appropriate setting and above all, realistic, which is something I want to stress throughout my video. It will be shot from the backseat so that I can see both Kally and J's faces throughout the scene but from a a different angle than the generic car shot that is head on.

COSTUME

KALLY (GEORGINA)
In the narrative scenes where Kally is seen in the house and car I wanted to keep her very casual and realistic as possible so I'll dress her just in jeans and a plain top. In the studio scenes where she is with the white backdrop I'd preferably have her dressed in black or white as I intend to edit it to black and white anyway so this would be most effective.

J (BETH)
Beth needs to be dressed as manly as possible to get away with the opposite role she's playing, therefore I'll have her in a shirt and jeans and possibly a hat.

LEXY (ALEX)
I'd like to dress Alex quite modestly yet mysterious and seductive therefore I think black wil lbe an option and then maybe some sort of fur jacket to add to her glamorous look but keeping it realistic. The emphasis will be on her hair and makeup so that you can tell she takes pride in her appearance, as she will only be featured for a brief part of the video I'm not too concerned on her making such an impact.
