CHANGE IN CAST

Although the fact that my cast also attend Wyke, I still have had extreme difficulties in finding times when they are both available therefore I have decided to take the role of the girl lead myself as Jade finds it hard to make time for the filming. Due to Ashley also being a media studies student I have found it hard to find times when he can prioritise my filming over his own therefore I have also chosen a different boy role for my music video. This will be a challenging and time consuming task as if I do not have aid with the camera I may have to set up the scene myself before being able to perform however it is still possible.

Clothing

The clothing I intend on dressing the artist and the character of the boy in are mostly very casual and typical to that of an average student, whilst thinking about clothing I have looked around my college for inspiration and found that leather jackets are very popular with girl students along with leggings of all colours and patterns. I noticed many boy students tend to wear "chinos" which are coloured materials that normally are tight around the ankles, therefore these items of clothing may be featured in my video to promote the "typical" student look.

The girl has more than one change of clothing in the music video as there are different locations included in it. The lyrics state "It was winter time" therefore I have decided to chose clothing which will emphasise the winter period, I intend on having the singer wearing a large karki green winter coat with a fur hood and a wooly hat when shooting the scenes outside, this is because the colour green connotates nature, showing that her love for the boy is a natural feeling and it will also complement the surroundings of trees etc in the garden.

Another part of the music video will be shot inside my bedroom, therefore I feel it is appropriate that the singer is in pyjamas, this once again complements the surroundings as many of the shots include the girls bed etc. It could imply that her mind is always on the boy she fancies, even when she is alone or asleep.
