The crew and Cast Notes

The actors I will be using will be my brother Joe Carter and one of my friends Izzie Curtis. I needed only two characters because my music video was based around a relationship and two people in love. The reasoning behind why I choose these two to participate in my music video is because I needed a girl and boy who would be willing to act like a couple and both of my cast members volunteered to play a part. They were also available when I needed to film. I decided later on to also include an extra member to sing on the video to portray the artist. My friend Oliver Stone agreed and was willing to participate as the artist and to sing throughout the video.  I wanted a male character to sing due to the artist being a male figure and again Ollie was available to shoot.

Performance based- Ollie being the artist singing throughout the video.

Narrative based- Joe and Izzie's on screen relationship through the bad and good times as well as Joe's party life and boxing scenes.

Cast notes

I have planned to give my cast only some small notes on what the song is about and roughly what my storyline will be. I decided instead of overloading my cast with notes, to give a brief speech about what I expected them to do for the video footage and how I expected their actions to come over on camera. Before shooting each scene I will place them and do a run through of what I require from them.  I am going to print the lyrics for my artist to look at and learn. I feel this will help Ollie look more professional when filming and lip syncing to the music and will hopefully make it quicker to record and capture good shots.
