Casting:
Brandon Kirton
Thomas Bailey
Luke Larkin
Extras
Characters Needed:
Lead singer
Singers Friend
Extra Partiers
Concept:
The song is about how it is a nightmare to be dependant on
drugs and alcohol and the constant fear that you cant your
fix. However as a contradiction the whole music video is
slow and calm as if the person singing is high and has no
worries. Time slowing down and being calm is an effect of
must drugs. The music video also shows the lead singer in a
party atmosphere but in slow motion. This could be to show
the peer presure to drink and do drugs at a party.
Obstructions:
There many risks that could take place when filming a music
video, people could fall over and get hurt, equipment could
get broken or we could get into trouble if police think we
could be doing something suspicious. If people get ill then
we might have to replace them if they were acting in the
video and we could have to get them to wrap up warm. To
make sure no actor’s schedules clash we will have to
message each other back and forth to decide dates. Before

2. we start recording I will have to check the weather if we
plan a shoot outside because rain or heavy wind could
damage equipment. To make sure the memory card isn’t full
or incompatible I will do a few shoots in the college to make
sure everything works. This will also be my plan if I happen
to pick up broken equipment if it is broken I will have to
swap it out for a working one. If we don’t manage to get
props out in time for a weekend we're recording then we
will have to find a way to improvise and use our own props.
If one of our actors give a poor performance then we will
have to just keep reshooting the same shot till we get what
we want. The lighting is a factor that will be hard to control
as we cant change the weather or when the sun sets,
therefore it will be very important to message back and
forth between everyone in the group so they know the plan.
Location safety/unavailability will have to be a factor we
take into consideration because if we cant get to where we
want to then we may have to change our full idea. This again
links into messaging each other constantly. Trip hazards
could be an issue wherever we fill so to be safe before we
start recording we will have to check the full area to make
sure no one gets hurt during the recording. Public
interference could be a pretty big issue when recording a
music video, if someone does interfere then we will have to
ask them to leave and then try and shoot what we were
recording again. Traffic could also interfere in our work
when we are trying to record, if this happens I will have to
just wait for the cars to pass before we start recording again.
