Planning: Props planning

Planning which props that i will include in my video took more thought then the other planning. The reason why is because it is not something that usually people take great consideration into when planning. Throughout my video i will not be using a lot of props and relying on my characters quite a lot. Although one of the props i wish to use is a skateboard. The reason why i want to use a skateboard is because i think this will fit in very well with the image of being a child in a skatepark, also i think this will be good to get different types of shots for and improve the standard of my video.

Another prop that i wish to include is a mobile phone. Although i do not wish to include the phone during the playing of the actual song i think it would be good if i had a small introduction in which the performer in the video will look at his phone and then press play on the track of the song i am going to be using. This i think will be quite and effective opening to draw the audiences in.

Another good prop i feel will be good to emphasis the meaning of the youth being represented is my performers smoking. This is a controversial prop that i am thinking of because it could give an negative effect on my music video. Although if i do include it in my video i think it will be good to use as a ending to the video where the performers blow smoke into the cameras and then fades out and finishes will be quite and effect ending. 

Planning: Costume

As i have been playing for my costumes that my artists will be wearing there has been a few factors that i had to take into consideration. One of the factors i had to take into consideration is that i want my actors to be dressed so they are suitable representing the target audience that i wish to target, Which is mainly teens and younger adults. Also i want to give clear indication that i am also trying to represent the artists that i have chosen "Chiddy Bang". Below is tan image showing the type of clothing that i would like to have being shown in my video. The clothing that is in the picture is a Snap back, A plain white top, a jacket or a hoody, Skinny dark jeans and either some type of trainers or converse. This clothing i feel will give a good impression of what i wish to portray. Top left is an image of my chosen artist that i will try to stick to when picking my costume.

Planning: Casting

Below is a prezi presentation for the casting of my Music video for Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults. You may notice as going through the presentation that all the candidates are Male this is because they will fit in with the lyrics of the song if they are and will seem odd if a female was doing these lyrics.
