Today we have had another meeting with our extras for our video.

During the week that has passed we have been told that we could not use film our video during the school day as we would be needing to take students out of their lessons. So in todays meeting we spoke to the extras about when they would be free to film the video. From this we decided that we would film on Tuesday 30th November. This is when we will get most of our filming out of the way.

We need to write a track permission letter so that we do not face legal action, this is because the song is copyright.

During the half term myself and Shelby went up to London in order to take some pictures of locations that we may use for our video.
The following pictures are from London Bridge and Camden Town. This is because we believe that they will look better for the video as it will make the video look more professional.

Today, myself and Shelby had a meeting with the extras in our music video as well as the band. We played them the song and talked to them about the concept of the video.
After this we spoke to them about the image of the band and then the type of clothes that we wanted them to wear. For this we showed them images of different bands such as Paramore, We the Kings and You Me At Six.

We also spoke to the main girl (Shannon) and the main boy (Antony), we told them what we expected of them and what they would be doing in the music video.

After the meeting we had another media lesson, in this lesson myself and Shelby looked at prospective locations and went about booking them. We then wrote a list of the people that would be in the video and decided that we needed to talk to their heads of year to make sure that it was okay to pull them out of TWO lessons.
After that we needed to talk to their teachers of the lessons that they would be missing, as we needed there permission to take them out of their lessons.
