After we knew we wanted to use Christina Aguilera for our music video we needed to seek permission, especially as she was a signed act. In addition to this we have sent an email and an formal letter to the record
company explaining our request.

Actors

Actors

For our initial idea we need two female actresses and one male actor. One of the actresses will be the main female actress who will lip syncing the song.

My partner and I have chosen Isobel Murray for our main actress, who is studing A-level music and we think will be great for the part. We think she will relate to the music well and show the illusion of her atcually singing the song. This will be good as we will be using a part of Goodwins theory of lip syncing.

We have not chosen the other actors yet but will do shortly and update this our blogs.

Location shots

Location shots
For shots 1,9 and 13-15 we have decided to use the school hall. We think this is a good location to film these shots as it has good lighting within the room as we can experiment with the large windows that offer a lot of light. If we need to cover the light that is coming through, the hall has very large blackout curtains which gives us an oppurtunity to experiment with the lighting, and will help with our storyboard greatly as we want to achieve a dark room.


As we explained in the storyboard we need a spotlight for our inital idea. With this the only issue we really have with our location is there is no spotlight on the stage. As a result of this problem we are going to ask permisson from the drama department to use a portable spot light that will give us the effect that we want.

We are going to need a glitter ball for shot 12, when the man and woman are dancing in the hall. We hope this will give a nice and effective, effect.

We have also for parts of the music video decided to film within and around Adams house. We feel this that with doing this it will create continuity throughout filming. The shots that will be filmed in the locations below are 2-8, 10 and 11.

Above is our rough storyboard for our new artist Christina Aguilera. We have given brief notes on we plan to do, and will draft a more detailed storyboard.

House colours

Adam and I have decided that our house colours will consist of red, orange and black, we will also show white within our package. We decided on these colours as we thought they present an angry

emotion also with a sad emotion with black. We thought this would suit the effect we want to give with the music video as the main singer is shown as angry and upset. We will show these house colours within our music video and two ancillary tasks.
