Possible Actors/Actresses + Locations + Costumes + Props

 This is Lisa. I have chosen to audition her for my music video as I feel that her image suits the acoustic music genre that I have chosen for my music video. She is confident in front of the camera and I feel that she will be reliable to film when I need her too!

Here is a crosslink to my auditions post.... in which Lisa features:

Locations:
For my location, I am going to use St Ouens beach. (as well as many other short clips of other locations)
Here are screen grabs from my locations video (http://meganwhitemedia.blogspot.com/2012/02/location-footage-more-light-leaks.html). I have chosen this location as I feel that it suits well with the conventions of an acoustic/indie video; as well as this, the lighting is AMAZING and will allow my footage to look much more professional.

The beach and sand dune locations, follow the usual conventions of an indie/acoustic video, therefore allowing my video to fit well in this genre. 

Costumes:

For the costumes of my music video; my idea is to have very simple and casual clothes. Similar to that of Lucy Rose in her video 'Middle of Bed'; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adBPg8Zdp2g . After gaining feedback on expected conventions of an indie music video; I have chosen a suitable outfit.

It will consist of plain dark jeans, that finish at the ankle, and a variety of white logo T shirts; creating a simple outfit, sticking to the conventions of an 'indie' music video.

On www.polyvore.com I was able to create a collage of the kind of outfit that my actress will wear:

The neutral colours allow the clothing choice to stick with the conventional relaxed atmosphere of an indie music video.

Props:

The main props in my music video, will consist of a camera, ice cream and bicycle.

 The use of an ice cream allows the beachy theme to be dominant, as my actress will purchase one as one of my shots, the indie beachy vibe will be emphasised by this.

The use of the bicycle will allow me to capture some interesting shots using the dolly; adding some movement and again, sticking to the easy going atmosphere.

The old fashioned camera was a late addition to my music video, but the concept allowed a photographer to be added to the narrative, adding interesting shots to my music video, allows shows 'through the lens'!
