Time Planning

Me and Emma met up with our primary cast members today, we are using the actors we used for each of our Digipaks-

Vince Mccumisky:

We both thought Vince looked excellent in his mime costume and Emma said he was easy to work with and will be sensible and reliable within the project. It is also vital that we maintain the house image of our project by using the same actors for both aspects of the project to maintain a cohesive style.

Milly Morris:
I used Milly for my digipak project, and she is one of my best friends so will be reliable and easy to work with, she visually suits the mime outfit and also has previous experience with performing and acting. She also takes Media studies so will value the importance of this project.




When we met we discussed when each of our cast members is usually free, and established the best days for scenes where they are needed together. As well, as when each are free for seperate shots. As well as, their roles in scenes and what lyrics they need to learn to mime, as well as if they would be able to get to location or not. We showed them the main concept for our video by giving out our blogger adresses so they could see all of the planning and outlines of the narrative as well as insiparation so they knew what sort of effect we wanted from them, and so it gave a clear idea of the style we hope to create. We also swapped contact info, so we can communicate via phone, as well as facebook and in person.

Me and Emma also sorted out the props that would be needed, I will be supplying Milly's outfit, including:

Face paint
Braces
Gloves
Striped Top
Necktie

And Emma will supply Vince's. I already have all of these costume aspects, so it will not cost any money, and Milly is bringing her own trousers.

The majority of our video will purely feature Vince and Milly as it solely focuses around their relationship, but we will require extras in our music video, to feature in the final scenes where the mime interacts with others for the first time. These are not key roles, and these people will simply have to appear in the video in day-to-day attire for several shots, and won't have to learn any lyrics or lines. The easiest way to communicate with all these people was to use the social networking site 'Facebook' and create an 'Event Page' for all of our cast to easily view the music video schedule.

The only thing left to do is to finish our animatic story board, that will illustrate exactly the shot types, location, and duration, of each scene. Although this will be time consuming as there is typically 1 shot every second in a music video, and our track is 3:30 minutes long, so that equals 210 shots that we have to draw out, but it should be worthwhile as this should further help organise and illustrate our ideas to our cast as well as ourselves.
