Locations, Props, Actors

Props

Costumes
As i will be using a recent song i think dressing my actress Hayley in high fashion clothes will make my video look more professional. I have used a site called Polyvore to create this collection of clothes you will be able to see below. 
I am hoping Hayley will be wearing something like this, i would like her to be wearing heavy make-up, and polished hair. This style goes with my R&B genre. 


Equipment 
 Going from left to right we used the DSLR Rig, monitor, dolly, lens, follow focus, apple mac, and the 7D camera. And at the bottom of the picture below, you can see the tripod.



Location


Jersey Town





Actors


I have held auditions to find an actress that would best suit my song and genre. 


This is Chelsea she is the first person i auditioned.

Initial Ideas

At this point i am swaying towards producing a R&B genre music video. I have an idea of a actor and locations. Researching into music videos has aloud me to see all the different genres song and the variety of very different videos. 
As you can see below, i have created a mind map of ideas. 


I want my video to look professional and well shot, it think by having the right location, actors and props will help with achieving this in my video. 
I like the idea of doing a time lapse in my video because of the song being upbeat, i was thinking of doing it from a high place (Fort Regent) looking down at town, capturing different and cars. When researching about time lapses i found this music video by OK go, you can see this below.
