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.

Cast list

My  music video only features 2 main characters; the girl whom is the singer of the song and the one who is performing and narrating the story through her words; and also the boy in which the song is based around, his role does not include any performance such as singing due to his part only being included in the narrative story line within the music video. The two people I have allocated these roles too (Jade Watson and Ashley Willis) are also students of Wyke college, this is a major convenience for me as a lot of the scenes will be shot within the college.

Location List

Many of my scenes will be shot within the college because the storyline within the music video entails a girl who attends school/college falling in love with a boy who is in her class. Therefore I intend on shooting in a classroom of the college and also in the college corridoorsn possibly near the lockers. I also have scenes in my back garden and in my bedroom, the reasons for choosing to shoot in these locations are to show that the boy is constantly on the girls mind even when at home and in her own environment away from the boy, it also gives an innocent and light hearted approach to her love for the boy.

Prop list

I will need a selection of props within my music video, these include:

• Desk
• Chair
• Paper
• Pencil
• Folder
• Clock

All of these props emphasise the "student" nature of the music video and help the audience understand the narrative story line. For example at the very beginning of the music video I have planned on having the girl sat at a desk with a pencil in her hand and paper on the desk, she later starts drawing on the paper, this explains the drawings which appear behind the singer when performing the song.

Animatic

This is the animatic which I have produced in order to give a breif representation of the types of scenes included in my music video and when they cut from one to another.

Story Board

Below is a detailed story board for the music video of B Boy Baby. It consists of every shot I plan on including in the video and also a description of what happens in each shot.
