Actor release form

It is important when you do a product as such that you have proof that your actor agrees to being filmed through voicing, poses, actions, appearances and pictures. So this is evidence that my model, Claudia Dyer accepts to the following and agrees for it to be shown to other people.

Problems ive faced

The reliance on technology is high during this year’s task, as I have realised after being faced with the several amounts of technical issues throughout the task. My first shot came out with fuzzy and crackling footage which meant I had to re-film, after re-filming my footage got lost which meant filming for a 3rd time. This is why it's essential that you allow yourself enough time to complete this project as many errors can occur that you need to fix.

Syling and costume

Artist costume and styling

I will explore several close up shots within the first scene of my video, so here the styling of my artist will demonstrate an importance over the costuming. The makeup scene will incorporate signs of femininity and the ‘Madonna’ theory as she applies her sophisticated make up so very gently and beautifully. The extreme close ups of the makeup and slow panning across her face are used to display the movement of my artist, Claudia and her emotions. Due to the situation of her getting ready, her hair will be in the process of getting ready by this she will have her hair down to suggest the process I am trying to convey.

 My next scene is heavily based on the costuming of my artist, it’s important that I keep my target audience in mind when deciding upon the costuming as it has to appeal to my audience of teenagers. However, due to the situation in which the scene is in, my artist will be dressed to convey a very emotional character in which highlights this through her dress sense of baggy clothing, scruffy hair and messy make up. Although this may question the norms of a teenage girl it conveys a meaningful story which I believe will keep my audience involved. I have been inspired by this outfit choicing by the music video of Ed sheeran - The A Team where in which the character displays the same message that I want to create.

Letter regarding permission

Here I have sent an email to the following address regarding permission to use the song 'the power of love' in my music video, whenever you want to use a song of someone else's you have to get permission, so this is my evidence of this. Showing my professional approach to my music video.
