arrangements

 In todays lesson we discussed the band, and how they are going to carry themselves. We decided we want them to be similar to the lead singer in the sense that they are hippie and chilled out, however we don't want to take away the focus from the lead singer therefore we will tone down their outfits and movements to make them less noticeable. I audited two people for the band, Lionel and David who can play the electric guitar and the drums and they are both very keen to do this video as they like the song and the concept of the video. Alexa is going to audition Kate a girl in her boarding house who she thinks will fit the role well, and the lead singer is the focus of the video therefore we are still looking for options to have. However so far Kate is the best suited to this role, she also has a similar style to what we want the singer to have anyways which helps when coming to choose outfits and the whole performance.

Props

We also talked more in depth about what we specifcally need props wise, most of the props we are able to get ourselves and the majority of it we already have which is helpful. We do need a sofa or chair type which will be harder to get. So we will look into that further on if we can borrow it of someone around school. 

Set Ups

Deciding on set ups has been a long process for our group as we have all had different ideas however with this new song it is clear what we need for a set up to represent the concept clearly. So we have all agreed on this shack style set up which would be hard to achieve but effective if we are able too. It would be simply a room padded with wood in an uneven pattern quite messy. This set up will be there to film the band performing with the singer. The shack idea is to imply the concept of beach as typically shacks are on the beach which bring in the idea of calming and relaxation. It also adds that concept of freedom, which we want are singer to be all about how she is a free spirit.

Our second set up is more focused on the lead singer, it is going to show her in her element. We will have her sit in a dark room surrounded by bottles which have been lit up by battery powered candles. We will also add crystals and other decor to add to this hippie theme. Lastly the other set up is showing both the band and lead singer however it is almost a combination of the two set ups. It will include lights shining on the band which will represent their aura, as each aura is different the colours will be shining bright switching colours.
