Screen Test-

Though I've already got a good idea in my head of who I want to use as my main actor/actress for my video I needed to firstly make sure that they feel comfortable in front of a camera and confident enough to make the video look realistic. Therefore my screen test was an important part of the planning of my music video as it allowed me to see whether my chosen main actress would be suitable for her role as well as introducing her to the music and the general part she would play within the video.

This week I finished my song lyric analysis and I’ve now began to create my location recce. I decided to analyse Lady Gaga’s song poker face because the whole song is a metaphor for her being a expert at deceiving men into loving her and then taking their money, its also one of the songs Im considering to use for my music video. By understanding a song’s lyrics I believe this enables you to understand the concept of the song better and this in turn allows you to develop a better music video, if you decide to stick to this concept. My next task was to create my location recce, I’m currently in the process of this. I’ve just started to take pictures of possible locations and considering why these would be good, I do already have an idea in my head of what kind of locations I want to use in my video and because I want my music video to centre more on the people in it my locations are less important personally to me but still important.
