In my music video, I have 2 characters. One is a boy and one is a girl. They are in a relationship, so I will hopefully be looking for either 2 people who are actually together, or two good actors who can make it look like they are together. This is important because it is the plot of my music video, so I need to ensure that the audience can believe it. The male character is the main character as the song is by a male artist.
Male Actor; As my artist is male, it is very important that I have a good, confident actor to get the best from my music video.
Martin Prowse;
Martin was a Drama student so he would be very suitable for the role as he would be confident in front of the camera.
Deet Bains;
Deet is currently a Media student so would be a good choice, but due to other priorities he may not be available most of the time.
Josh Thorley;
Josh is also currently a Media student so because of that he may be a good chance, but he isn't very confident so he may not seem comfortable in front of the camera.
Martin Prowse is my chosen actor. This is because he studied drama and is confident in front of the camera, so I believe that he is the best possible choice.
Female Actor; The female actor isn't as important, but to get the best from my music video they will need to be a good actor and be believable.
Mariella Ralph;
Mariella is currently a Year 12 Media student so would be a good choice because she knows what it takes, and is comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Katy Lewis;
Katy is a media student so would be a good choice, but isn't very comfortable in front of the camera so wouldn't be a good choice.
Ava Markie;
Ava is currently a media student so she would be a good choice, but when I need her to film she has other priorities so will not be able to play.
Mariella Ralph is my chosen actor. This is because she studies media currently and is confident in front of the camera, so therefore she is the best possible choice.
Planning; Equipment Planning
In order for my music video to be professional, I will need some good equipment to be able to do so.
One thing I will need is a HD Quality Camera.
I will use a high quality camera to film my music video. I need the camera to be of a high quality so my shots look good and so my video looks like it is done in a professional way, instead of amateur. A high quality camera will give me crisp shots and enable me to use an exposure and focus lock, which will make my video look even more professional.

Tripod
The use of a tripod will enable me to take still and steady shots which will make my video look professional. If I wasn't to use a tripod, my shots would be shaky and it will look like an amateur production. I have used a tripod before, so I know how to use it efficiently and will not need to research in to how to use one effectively. Accessing a tripod would be fairly easy because I can borrow it from the school's media department meaning there are not any great difficulties to get hold of one.
Steadicam
Using a steadicam will enable me to balance our the proportions of the camera so I will be able to get a steady shot, to ensure that my shots look professional. The reason I will use a steadicam is so I will get great, steady shots to ensure my video doesn't look like an amateur production. Again, I am able to borrow this piece of equipment from the school's media department so there wouldn't be any real difficulties in getting hold of this piece of equipment.

Planning; Props
Props can be very important to any video if they are used in a good way.
For my music video, I am doing a break up video so I believe the use of a mobile phone could help. I could have the male character texting or calling the female character, as I feel this may be able to help the point of the story come across better to the audience. I believe that a mobile phone would be a good prop to use in my music video because it is a common thing that people use, so it will come across to the target audience.

Planning; Mise-en-scene
Mise-en-scene is a very important part of planning.
Costume;
The costume, as previously mentioned, will be a casual look. This will include the artist wearing jeans, a casual t-shirt and jeans. The casual look will be taken for the female character as well, as this is how I want both characters to look.
Props;
I haven't got any confirmed ideas about any props, but I have thought about using a mobile phone. This would be for the male character to text the female character.

What I will have done by Tuesday 21st January
By next Tuesday I will have done the mise-en-scene for my music video
Planning; Storyboard
As a class we were asked to create a storyboard for our music video. This will show the following things;
- It will show what number the shot is. So this means that it will show the shot order, and whether it is the first or last shot for example.
- It will show the location of the shot, for example a park.
- It will show what shot it will be, for example a mid shot.
- It will show the camera angle or the camera movement, so for example tracking.
- It will include drawing of what will be happening in the shot, drawn by myself.
- Finally, it will say what will be happening in the shot, so for example saying that the actor is miming the song.
Below are images of my storyboard.
Planning; Costume
I have 2 characters in total. One is a male character and the other is female. Costume is very important as everything has to fit with the artist's genre, which in my case is soul/r&b.
Male;
The male actor will be wearing jeans, coat and trainers throughout the majority of my music video. I will be going for a casual look as I believe it ties in with the music genre. I wouldn't go for a tracksuit because that may be interpreted to fit with the rap sort of genre, so it would be important to get this right. At some points I may have indoor scene, so they would lose the trainers and a coat and would have socks and a casual t-shirt on. The male is the main character and will be portrayed as the artist, it is very important that his costume is sorted.
Female;
The female actor will be wearing around about the same thing. They will also be going for the casual look of jeans, coat and trainers. Similarly to the male character, when it goes to an indoor scene she will lose the trainers and coat for socks and a casual t-shirt. As the female isn't the main character and isn't the artist, her costume isn't as important.
Male;
The male actor will be wearing jeans, coat and trainers throughout the majority of my music video. I will be going for a casual look as I believe it ties in with the music genre.
