Our Preps and Props!!

This room is in Archbishop Tenisons School, we used this room for one of our scene as it had good lighting and the setting was perfect for our scene. 
Makeda filmed the day to night scene, this scene matches perfectly with our outro as it smoothly compares with the beat and enters out our music video to end the video.

This is one of the crop/costume that we used for our actor. We wanted our characters to wear casual clothing to represent a realism theme of for our music video. 

This is the phone we used for our scene. 

This was used for the drug, however it is not real we used soap powder to use as cocaine.
We used this microphone for the singer and to record our track for good quality sound. 

Scene Location!!

We were very confused at first were we should film, however we came to a conclusion of keeping the scene location simple, as our music video does not require as much of an attention through the location of the scene therefore we thought of using the park-Myatts Field Park, 



Myatts Field Park was a very great option as it was nearby and we did not have to lose time over having to travel further into the city, however using the park was very resricting as we would have liked to included some unigue locations, on the other hand using local locations saved us time and we were able to finish and capture and filming on time. 



Additionally we used the studio and toilet room for some scenes this was within charles edward brooke school, this was also a easy option for us as we were able to meet deadlines and schedule our time appropiatley,
We used this house to film in, we used the windows to film through to show the front of the actor walking towards the camera. 





futhermore we used the common room from Archbishop Tenison School, also the sunset scene is the unique scene in our music video so far, because it is different and shows the contrast from day to night to end the video.

Finding Our Actors And Actress!

Firstly we had some difficulties finding our actors and actresses however with a little bit of effort and research we used people who matched the characteristics of our video theme, we used 4 actresses and 3 actors. 


In the first scene we used Fatiat, she had to play crazy in the first shot then become a drug addict. Second scene we used Daniel and Makeda who were a disturbed couple at breaking point, lastly we used Memunatu and Faidat who acted as the lesbian couple breaking up. Overall the actors and actresses did a great work!

Research & Ideas!



My group have used ideas from various of music videos we want to use these ideas and combine this with our own music video, however we will use each music video for different aspects of our music video, for example we will use drake-'headlines' for the very fast cut in shots for our edits, also we will use JoJo-'marvins room' for the phone conversation with the boy and girl, to show a realistic phone conversation between the actors.
