Casting Document 

I chose this person to be in my music video as I decided to have a female representation within my music video. She plays a major role in my video and is the main reason why the two friends ended their relationship. This appeals to the target audience if 15-25 as the female actress fits that age group. As well it appeals to the aspirer, as audiences will watch this and will feel that they are able to engage themselves as the actress is relatable. Also this links to the glistening generalities ideal that as this a normal person, audiences can relate even further. 

I chose this person to be in my music video as he represents a wide range if ethnicities and can further appeal to different ethnic groups. He is one of the two best friends in my music video and plays a significant role in my video. It can appeal to audiences as the actor is a normal person and can feel relatable towards audiences. 

I decided to chose this person to be in my music video as he also represent another ethnic group and also it appeals to the common man which is essential when producing the music video, as I would want it to appeal to everyone. 

Editing. Effects and Treatment

Before 

This video was before the editing, the scene takes place at the beginning of the video and the end. This is where the two friends bump into each other in the future , this scene also initiates the sequence of flashbacks. What i found with this image is that the street lights are too bright and are drawing attention towards it. Also the video itself looked a bit fuzzy so i decided to edit this to make the image more sharpen.  

After

 After the editing, I decided to attempt to dim the lights and keep it lowly saturated so it doesn't take the attention way from the two actors when they come into play. As well after the editing i sharpened the clip it make it look less fuzzy and used different colour schemes to keep it dim.

This shows all the clips i have used in the video and i decided to cut these down to fit the 3 minute target for my video. 

In this clip i used to a split screen to portray the scene with my two actors. What i did was use the original clip and cut half of it to create to separate clips and then i revered it to make a split screen effect. This accentuates the different editing skills within my video. As well instead of using black and white in most of my flashback clips. I decided to keep this in the original colour to give the authenticity in the flashbacks and to use the sun shining to my advantage as it further portrays the emotions of my actors in the video which is happiness. 

In this image it shows an editing style i used to leave effect. In one of the clips in the beginning of my music video, I decided to set the speed to 50% to allow the clip to have slow pace and to make it slow motion. I then timed the pace of the clip to the music and was able to successfully use the drop of the song to effect. 

In this image, i used the transition fade to black to accentuate the seriousness that is occurring at this point in the video. Also this image shows that i used titles to include a credit at the end of my video and as well as my logo at the last clip. 

Here i decided to use an editing technique to have the background in black and white and then have the two friends (Aaron and Wilson) in colour as well have the car in normal colour this is to further accentuate that this is a flashback and also as the scenes went on i decided to use less of the black and white and let it play out in colour.

In these two images i used a full black and white image to fully capture the moment in the flashback. 

These are some of the effects i applied for this clip. 

Logo Design

Design 1 

I prefer design 1 as it promotes the idea i originally had. It links to the idea of being rich and wealthy with the green dollar sign. As well having the buildings on top and below shows the A B socio-economic group i want to promote to. As well as that i made a link to the city by the buildings on top and below the words to represent a more urbanised surroundings and to signify that my artist is for the A B socio group.

Logo Design 2 

This Logo design took inspiration from the first one but i changed it by using Arial font and instead putting the artists name inside the buildings to further accentuate the socio group i am targeting. As well by making the font green, this can signify wealth and money which is what i want my artist to be portraying.

Logo design 3

This logo design is more simplistic, i decided to rotate a dollar sign which represents wealth and money as well and across the dollar sign i wrote the artists name. This is more simplistic but it is still effective and portrays the ideals of my artist.




In the end I've decided to go for logo design 1 as this is far more effective then the other logos and it represents the A B socio economic group perfectly.

Risk Assessment

Camera Equipment

Camera equipment such as tripods and equipment lying around can potentially be a tripping hazard for the public as well as the people involved in the shoot. This has a low severity but can be highly likely if the shoots were to take place during busy periods to avoid this hazard. I will carefully place the equipment in a suitable place. I could also put up a sign to warn the public that a video shoot is occurring so they know to avoid it.

Cars/Safety on the Road

A potential hazard for my video is the safety within cars as a part of my shoot takes place in and around cars. I will have to ensure that roads are empty and also to be completely aware of the surroundings when shooting. I will also ensure to act responsibly and safely around cars and the road. Severity is high whereas the likelihood can be low.

Public Spaces

A hazard could be public spaces i will need to ensure that i am not an obstruction to the public, to avoid this i could talk to different members of the public to tell them what is going on and so how can it be avoided.

Weather

If it is raining a potential hazard could be slip hazards as well as when transporting equipment, the severity is relative low but can be highly likely to avoid this i will check the weather updates to plan my shoot around it. Severity is low but the likelihood is quite high.
