Casting

Name: Abigail Lewis 
Age: 17
Abigail is a dancer and very good at ballet. She is the right age for the role and also does drama which means she will be natural on camera. However Abigail has a lot of dance auditions and rehearsals at the weekend and this means it is very hard to arrange dates to film and more of an inconvenience for her. 

Name: Libby Miller
Age: 18
Libby also does ballet at the same dance school as Abigail. She has the perfect figure for a ballerina and I think she would suit the role really well.  Libby doesn't do drama but she has performed in a previous short film i did and she was really confident on camera so I definitely think she would be able to get into character. This is why I have chosen Libby.

Initial Ideas

I have to so initial ideas, they are similar ideas but based around two different songs. I like to mind map my ideas because this means i can link parts together and getting everything down on paper before I start adapting it. One of the main parts of mise en scene that I want to focus on more than the others is camera angles. This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Song Choice

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.

Actors

This is Ruth, Freddie and Chris. I asked these to film because I wanted it to look like a young family and I was positive they would be willing to help out. I am hoping that their connection to each other will come through on camera. This is John and Harry they are brothers and have kindly agreed to be in the music video. As with the family I want there connection as brothers to come through in the footage. There's is a big age gap in there and I would like the influence of the older brother to be obvious when I film, so he comes across as a role model. Josie acted as Becky Hill the featured singer on the song. The setting was a recording studio were Josie lip synced the song, with the recording microphone and stand I managed to get as a prop.
