Update

Here is a draft of the email we sent to our cast list to ensure that they had/have everything ready for music video next week. Including, hair, make up and costume.
The rest of our cast, ie our extras, have already been informed of what they need to wear and do and what times they will be required.

Hey guys,
As you know you have been cast in our music video so here is the costume list:
FRAN: -A mesh leotard (with the mesh going down the middle) if not bring something similar which is hot but has to be a leotard
-Black american disco pants (like the american apparal ones) if you can't find any of these bring in similar if possible (leather pants)
- Fur coat (a dark colour)
- Black Boot Heels (it would be good if you could try and find these in your size)
- BRING LOTS OF JEWELLERY (bling/big/ but classy at the same time)
Makeup: Smokey eyes (big) , Red lipstick
Hair: Straight and messy
LEAH AND LAYLA: - Black dresses (Layla your one from prom and Leah the one that you told Cook about)
- Heels (you can choose)
- Bring in stuff like you would if you were going out (any small simple jewellery, rings etc)
- We dont really want you guys wearing coats but bring something like a shawl or something which will not cover the dresses too much but will keep you warm
Makeup: You can choose but girly and pretty please
Hair: Down in any style (sorry we are being brief)
This is what you guys will need to have for the shoot, if you could bring in as much as your own that would be easier for us but if you need us to get anything please email back so we can sort it out.
Hopefully this is enough time for you guys as you have the weekend to get stuff if you are going home,
Thankyou very much !!!
See you Thursday (you need to get blue cards aswell)
Bel, Cook, George & Charlie x

Homepage


This is a very well laid out homepage. It has different and easily accesible sections of the page, allowing audiences to see her music, video's of her, photos and history of her life. However I don't find this page a very inspirational one as it's quite bare and dull and quite uninventive. Not something I would like to replicate.



Really like this particular homepage, its simplistic and subtle but the video bang centre of the page allows fans to watch and listen to his music, exhibiting his identity and his sound. It has simple sections top of the page which allows fans to check out his tour, merchandise, tracks and also to contact him.

Nature of Working With A Night Shoot

When it came to researching our night shoot there were a couple of things that we missed out accidentally, one of which was the temperature levels and how that would affect our cast.

It came to shooting our night shots at which time the sun was setting so around 3pm we had pretty much set everything up in preparation for night to fall. Although the shots proved very slick and beautiful especially in the dark, the extras were freezing, many of which were only in a dress.

We had to be fair to our cast member and couldn't run the risk of letting them catch a cold or anything worse which prevented us from keeping them for too long.

This meant that we had to allow them to leave early which unfortunately meant that we couldn't get all of the shots that we wanted. We felt so bad for them that we had to give them their coats which disrupted the filming because people were less willing to cooperate.
