Meeting With Music Video Cast

As scheduled under our list of jobs that we must carry out as part of our planning for our music video, my media partner and I held a meeting (on Tuesday 7th December) with the dancing cast and the main star (who will mime the song lyrics). 

In the meeting we discussed:

• The schedule dates regarding the choreography preparation, rehearsals and filming.
• Who will do what - (we concluded that the dancers will choreograph their own dance to the song).
• Where the filming shall take place, and how many people shall be involved.
• How the storyboard shall work with the music.
• What to wear on set, etc.
• Exchanged phone numbers, emails, etc.

I feel that this was overall a very successful meeting.

Here are the casting photos (of who shall be involved in our music video):
This is a picture of the main star, who is called Rory Howes. He shall be the person who mimes along to the voice of the song, and shall be the main concept portrayed in front of the camera. We decided that he was appropriate for the part because he is an extremely cheerful person and has great experience in acting and being on the stage, so we therefore know that he shall be a very reliable person to put on a great performance in front of the camera. Also, because of his amazing personality, we know that it shall be very easy and enjoyable to work with him.

This girl is named Emma Harrison, and she  is the second main star in the music video, as she is the person who shall be pretending to play piano. We decided that she was suitable for the part because she is already Grade 7 in piano, and therefore shall play it very realistically along to our artist's song. She is photogenic and so therefore shall make the shots look very good when shooting.

These cast pictures underneath are of the dance crew who shall be performing in front of the cameras for us, to our artist's song. We chose these people because they are experienced dancers.

The rest of the cast that we need to use are of a group number around 49, so because of the enormity of this group, it was impossible to gather everyone to take photos. However, my media partner and I created a Facebook group for the rest of the cast (who shall run around the streets dancing along with Rory) throughout the music video, building up to the climax.
Here is the group:

This next screen shot is of me explaining to our group members what is required of them in the music video. I find that making these groups on Facebook are extremely useful and important, because we can constantly update our group members as to what is going on with the arrangements for when everything regarding our music video is taking place, and our members can contact us, etc.
