ACTOR DECISIONS

ACTOR DECISIONS

I have decided to use my friends Amy and

Jess as the actors in my music video, as I

feel that they will be easy to work with

because we have known each other for so

long.

Amy (on the right) will play the role of the

star in my music video as she said that she

would feel comfortable lip synching to the

track as she had already heard it.

Jess (on the left) will be portraying the

stars best friend in the video as the theme

of friendship is present in the song lyrics. I

chose jess for this role as she and Amy

have been friends since primary school. I

felt that as they had been friends for so

long their friendship would be clearly seen

in the music video.

COSTUME DECISIONS

Planning

SINGER COSTUME

I really like Lana Del Rey’s style, and have

decided to replicate this in my music video.

I chose for the singer to be wearing a

white dress to reflect purity and beauty but

also reflect the vintage style of Lana Del

Rey. I decided that the actor should also

wear a leather jacket to portray a

rebellious side which links to the lyrics of

the song. I also decided that the actor

should wear vintage style heels, and found

a pair with laces to again reflect Lana Del

Rey’s style.

FRIEND COSTUME

I decided to create a clear difference

between the actors so that the audience

is able to tell them apart. The actor

playing the singers friend will be wearing

a blouse top in a bold colour with a black

skirt or shorts. My actor has a red blouse

with gold stud on the collar reflecting a

rebellious side to the actor and reflecting

how she is playing the friend who led the

singer astray. I also decided that she

should again be wearing heels.

PROP DECISIONS

No props will be used in the video as I feel that

they are not needed to portray the idea I have

and help my video link to the song lyrics.

MAKE-UP AND HAIR DECISIONS

Planning

BOTH ACTORSI decided to go with natural make-up for both

actors as I felt that this signified raw beauty

and purity. However to link the actor playing

the role of the singer to the vintage style of

Lana Del Rey, I decided she would wear red

lipstick .

Originally I had wanted the star to wear her

hair down but as windy weather has been

forecast for the day of filming, I have asked her

to put her hair in a bun, as I feel this hairstyle

will also link to the vintage style. The other

actor will wear her hair down as originally

planned. She only appears in a few shots so we

will be able to work around the windy weather.
