Locations

All filming will take place with Droitwich town centre and suburbs.

This is an ideal location for a number of reasons ...

It is where the artists are based so is easy for them to access and be there when we need them (we will travel there by car).

Many areas of Droitwich match our desired mise en scene perfectly giving an urban, anti-establishment feel.

Much of our filming will take place in and around the housing estate of Westlands. This does not require permission.

Performers and casting

Chris Dayus (Crissy Dee). One of the front members of 'Real Recognise Real' and will be used a lot during the course of the video.

This performer is suitable because he is the actual artist who performs the song our video is based around.

This gives our video an edge because he will be very used to the track and the type of environment (comfortable with filming etc).




Paul Stokes (Stokezee) (pictured on the right) is the artist who feature with Chris on the track (sings the chorus and has a verse).

He is suitable for exactly the same reasons as Chris because he is used to this type of situation which will benefit us in terms of lip syncing quality etc.








We asked ourselves the question. 'Will these artists be reliable?' We have spoken to them on several occasions and told them we need to do filming towards the end of December and throughout January. They have both given us their word that they are not part of any other projects that may effect us and will be available for shooting when ever we need them.

Our video will also include a number of extras who are friends of the artist and may have cameos in our video.

Audience focus group

We carried out an audience focus group online (Facebook) to gain important qualitative feedback which may cause us to adapt/change our ideas for the draft video. 

Focus group contents ...

-Showed the audience music videos which are similar in different way ie concept, shots etc to see how they reacted and what they liked about it.

-Gave the target audience the opportunity to listen to the track we are using in the project. Asked them to relate what they heard to viusals (Synaesthesia and imagery).This is good good way of generating ideas to aid production of our video.
