The document discusses preparations for filming a music video. It will require one male actor who has agreed to commit time to potentially repeated filming without changing his appearance. Precise timing is important, so the actor should not wear a watch and clocks will be removed from walls. The actor's outfit of a paisley shirt, jacket, and light trousers was chosen to appeal to the target audience and suit the black background. The actor needs to learn the song's lyrics and guitar movements to convincingly mime singing and playing for the performance scenes.

2. Organisation of Actors
For my music video, I need one, male actor. I have chosen a close friend
that I can rely on, and when I asked him to help me out with this project
he agreed, knowing that it will take quite a long time and I may need to
re-film multiple times. Taking all of this into consideration, he also
agreed not to change anything about his hair or any other aspects of his
appearance for the space of time I will be filming.

3. Time
My filming will all be done indoors so time and weather will not affect
my video majorly however, it is important that my actor doesn’t wear
a watch as it would give away the time difference between cuts and
ruin the continuity of my video. When I am filming my actor, I will
need a plain black background so anything (such as a clock) on the
walls will be removed. The curtains will have to be shut for both
performance and stop motion sections of my filming so that daylight
does not affect my video.

4. Outfits
In order to appeal to my target audience and create an appropriate
mise-en-scene for the genre and film of my music video, the outfit
choice of my actor is very important. I would like my actor to wear
a paisley shirt, maybe a smart jacket or coat and light coloured
trousers so he doesn’t blend into the black background.

5. Lyrics/miming
When my actor is performing I would like it to look as if he is singing
the words and playing the guitar for the song. He needs to know the
lyrics and understand the guitar in the song so he knows how to
move his hands and sing to the song. Everything should be in time
for it to look realistic so I could play the song to him through
headphones on an ipod, hidden on him somewhere.
