Research for Shoots

The shoots for my ancillary task will be conducted whilst the music video is being filmed as my ideas for my ancillary task is to include snapshots from the music video. Therefore, the research for shoots for both the main task and ancillary task are the same and is all below.

Hair and Make-Up:

Both hair and make up during the first scene of the video will be simple - straight hair, minimal/natural make up. This is due to the fact that the scene will be casual and relaxed, so the characters would not have got dressed up or made any effort for this. This makes it as realistic as possible in terms of aesthetic.




After the 'getting ready' scene and during the party, the girls as well as the extras will have styled hair (for example, curly) and will have the make-up done. As this is a party, it would be an occasion to get dressed up and make an effort with appearances and so this is an aspect that we will include in the music video.

 

Costumes:

The clothes worn in the music video will be the character's own clothing that they would personally wear to a party. By having the actors bring their own party outfits, it will help create a realistic look as they will be representing exactly what a youth party look is. Some of these outfits will be dresses ('little black dress') or a nice top and jeans.

 

Props:

The props used in the music video will be typical items found in girls bedrooms and at parties as these are the scenes that will be shown in the video. These items will include phones, make up, red cups, drink bottles, balloons and cigarettes. We will also be using sparklers at the end of the video.


  

Location: 

There will three locations in this music video. The first location will be in a girl's bedroom. This will represent the life of youth as this is a location where young people spend a lot of their time. It will be a relaxed setting and there will be high-key lighting as it will be during the day.


The second location will be a house whilst the party is happening. Both the living room and kitchen will be used and we may explore the bathroom. As this will be happening at nighttime, the lighting will be dark but there will be lights used to illuminate people and objects in the scene.


The last location will be at a playground nearby. By moving the party from one location to another, it will represent youth as adventurous and also rebellious as they are making noise and having a party in public.
