Casting

When casting we needed someone who was able to dance, but also act as there is a mix of both in our music video. Lauren had videos of her dancing on social media, and also had the young, youthful look we were going for in our music video, and is able to act to the standard we need her to so she was perfect.





As Lauren is able to do contemporary dance with a mix of ballet, it enables us to film the genre we wanted to.

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your media product and ancillary text? This question requires me to talk about my music video and ancillary text, then discuss how they compliment each other, and how certain things may clash, and have not been effective.

All I Ask- Adele coreography

This music Video incorporates a lot of contemporary dance between a man and woman. Their moves and actions are emotive and carry a lot of power as their movements fit with the music perfectly, emphasising the songs heartbreaking theme, connecting the viewer further to the songs message. This music video covers similar messages we want to depict in our media product for 'lost without you'. We are thinking about taking similar movements they use, and they way in which speed for certain moves are have a big impact, for example the slow movements are more emphasised, making them much more effective. Unfortunately we are not able to a find a man to dance with Lauren, but we do not think this is a major issue as this just reinforces the fact she has been abandoned and is isolated.

Nature Shots

Today I filmed some shots, purely of tree branches and the sky as the background. The sky was bright blue but was a little overcast, which was perfect as it gave a really good textured and layered appearance. As the song is about her boyfriend leaving her to go travelling, the trees and sky symbolise his  freedom and him leaving. We are planning to over lay this footage with Lauren dancing, therefore her dancing on her own, on top of the open sky emphasises her loneliness and his abandonment. This will give the audience a deep, textured visual, which will also intensify their emotions towards the dancers sadness and isolation.
