Problems!!

There is a slight problem with the clips fitting to the lyrics.. I cant fit the clip that i need in the space that i have and i didn't consider the instrumental parts of the song.. major problems with sticking to the storyboard!!!!!

Editing

Today started to put the clips in order. I have kept to the basics of my storyboard however i have added a number of clips and shots to make the video more interesting to the prime audience. I have only come across one problem, that is there is a 13 second into before the lyrics start of the song, i have not thought of idea's or filmed anything that could go in this space.

I will hopefully be filming this weekend 15th/16th January. Im having a few problems with my actors as one of them has got swine flu and the other will be working most of the weekend. So most likely i will be filming in small sections.

Locations, Proms and Costumes

Locations

All the inside shots are going to be filmed inside peoples houses, these include;
A bathroom
A bedroom
A living room.
The outisde locations are going to be  filmed around the local area, these include;
Two alley ways
A Park - also the location of the photogrpahs for the ancilliary products
A Westwood College

Props

There are going to be minimal probs used in my video, the main recurring props are;
A wine bottle - used during alcohol drinking scenes. This is obviously going to be filled with blackcurrent - this is due to health and saftey reasons. We are going  to put a form of substance in the bottle so when the actor drinks it was realistic
A diary - used by the bullied girl. It will also used for the back of the CD cover as part of the anxilliary tasks
A number of mobile phones - used to send the texts from bullies and to use for the drug scenes
A credit card and flour - during the drug taking scenes. The flour was will be used to simulate cocaine
Money - used in the drug taking scenes and after the drug taking girl robs the man.

Clothing

The Drug Taking Girl will be wearing a plain vest top, jeans and trainers. I chose simple clothing becuase when looking at drug addicts in films and television they are represented as being poor so i didnt want bright coloured, athetically pleasing clothing as it wouldnt represent drug takers with in the media.
The Bullied Girl will also be wearing plain and pale clothes. The pale colours will represent her feelings of unhappy and dull as well as her wish to blend in with the crowd.
The Alcohol Drinking girl will be wearing a big parka coat, dark clothing and shorts and will be wearing dark eye make up. The dark makeup and dark clothing will juxtapose with her pale face, the dark eyes will represent her actions whilst the pale face will give her innocence so the audience dont dislike the charactor.
