Casting discussions

Because of our choice of star (Eliza Doolittle) and the type of character that she portrays it was highly important that we casted the perfect girl who could, believably mime the words of Eliza Dootlittle and for it to look like that particular voice was truly coming out of the actresses mouth. For this we casted Emma Byrne, but after serious consideration consulting time and when we could film, we decided to change our main star to Robyn Archard who is also in my group meaning that having our main star a person who is in the group, there will be less reasons for not having filmed considering the main star would also want to have a good amount of footage. Our main star being a part of our group made the filming process much easier. She also fitted what we wanted our main star role main more than our first choice. We knew that we would only need one star in our music video, no extras or anything, so picking a main star was the most important decision we had to make when casting was the subject.

Planning for filming

Day 1: Main day of filming;

On this day we are going to film in front of a white screen (Achieved by using large sheets of wrapping paper, putting it inside out and sticking it to a bare wall). We are just going to film a series of different scenarios and outfits in front of this one white screen singing along to our chosen song.

Props: Teddy bear, Piggy bank, assortment of coloured flowers, puppets, a banana, a monopoly board and an inflatable hammer.

Day 2: Chair scene;

On this day this we are going to a different location in which we are going to film our star sitting on a grand chair.

Props: None shall be used for this day, Only one outfit will be used.

Day 3: Extra scenes;


To give off our sense of freedom and fun which are themes of our music video we are going to include several shots of our stars riding happily on a bicycle.

Props:
White bicycle, puppets and a car ( This is used so we can follow our star on the bicycle in a tracking motion only one) outfit shall be used
