Preparing for Filming

This is the model, Chloe, we have chosen to be our artist in the music video. We decided to use her because she has a unique quirky style that fits well with our country pop genre. She wears florals, knitted jumpers, blouses/shirts and skirts which suits our target audience and is the type of clothing associated with country pop. We further decided to use this model as our actor as she has quite a natural look about her and that is what we want to convey in our video. 

This is the camera me and my partner Laura plan to use to film our music video and to take the photos of our model for our poster advertisement and our CD digipak. It is a Nikon D3100 and is a proffesional SLR camera. We are going to use this to make our photographs look as proffessional as possible.

We plan to have our model's hair in different hairstyles throughout filming and in the photographs for our ancillary tasks. So we are going to use straighteners and curlers to create different hairstyles for our model. However we want to maintain a natural look throughout. Creating naturally tousled hair, straight and curly.

We are using this guitar as our man prop in our music video as it is the instrument most often associated with country pop. We want to use the guitar in many ways, such as being played by our model, set against a tree in the background, or loose across our models shoulder. We want to portray an effortless manner when our model is using this prop.

These are the clothes we have chosen to use in our music video. We have chosen a floral skirt, denim pinafore, polka dot shirt, yellow and white lace jumper, scalloped pastel shorts, check shirt, tube skirt, necklace and floral wristbands. We have chosen these clothes as we think they are quirky, colourful, and fit well with the type of audience who listen to this genre of music. 

This is one of our locations, five arches meadows, by my house. We have chosen this as our main location because we feel it really accentuates our country pop theme. We are going to film our model at this location, walking through the trees on the riverside, sitting on the bridge, with her guitar to try and make a quirky vibe.
