The people that I have chosen to be in this music video are within
the target audience age range of 16-25. I chose to do this as it may
mean that the audience find it easier to relate to the video if they
are seeing people the same age as them in the video. The characters
in my video all do have a passion for dance music. This will hopefully
make the video look better as they are all sincerely enjoying
themselves whilst the filming is taking place. The people that I will
use in the video are also extremely reliable therefore I should not
have to worry about people not showing up for filming. It also
means that, if I do need to re-film, I will be able to get the same
people in again. Also, the people I would use are all from the upper
class/upper middle class it might also be easier for the audience to
relate to that as well.
I had many ideas for what I could do for this music video, however,
once I found the right song, some of my ideas did change. The song
that I am doing is First Time by M-22. The song is more on the
romantic side of things so to portray this in my music video, I did
chose a boy and girl to feature in the video. I am hoping to film
practically all of the music video in London as it is more likely to fit
the brief and is easy to get to for everyone that is part of the music
video. I would like to perhaps film in a restaurant as it is more likely
to fit the romantic theme of the music. This will hopefully appeal to
a wider audience as it should not look like a stereotypical dance
music video. However, I am not planning everything I do as I do not
want to limit myself as, if I go out filming with a detailed plan of
what I want to do, I may end up blocking out any other possible
ideas that could’ve made the video better.
As I have mentioned previously, I am planning on filming the vast
majority of the music video in London, therefore I have thought of
many different places in which I could film. In the video I will be
filming during the day night therefore I decided to think of places
that would be good to film in no matter the lighting. Some of these
places include;
 Oxford Street
 Hyde Park
 Tower Bridge
 Covent Garden
 London Bridge
