Final Music Video Remake

Cast, Prop and Location List

Casting

The section which we will be recreating from the 'Toulouse' music video only features two characters, which contributed as one of the many reasons for our choosing of this particular section of the video. The need to find only two characters should not prove difficult, and will hopefully allow us to recreate the music video better in the time given.

As for the casting, Elizabeth and I decided that in terms of production we would equally share the roles of director, producer and editor. The only differing roles we had was that I would operate the camera whilst Elizabeth plays one of the characters in the video. We agreed she would be best suited to her role and has the props and skill necessary for it. This would leave us with only one other person to cast for the remaining character, something at this point in time we are still undecided on.

Props

Arguably one of the main props in the original 'Toulouse' music video are the Anonymous/Guy Fawkes masks, however as previously stated, we will be replacing this prop with hooded onesies as it is more easily accessible and will add a slight twist that makes the video a little more personal and unique.

The only other 'prop' in the music video will be the outfit for the second character, who is dressed in relatively dark and plain clothing - a black jacket, pair of jeans and boots which will be easily obtainable for the role of this character.

Location

The only two locations needed for this music video will be in a bus stop setting and town centre/busy shop-lined street. Both me and Elizabeth live far away from Wyke College, across the southbank of the Humber Bridge near the town of Scunthorpe and so we planned to film these two scenes within Scunthorpe town centre at the bus station (or any nearby bus stop) and the High Street/precinct which is where the bus station is also based.

Lyric Timings List

The song which we have chosen doesn't feature any lyrics, therefore the recreation of shots, mise-en-scène and editing will need to be near flawless in order to make the video outcome really good.

Initial Idea

For this project, I will be working with Elizabeth Fijalkowski (http://www.elizabethfmedia.blogspot.co.uk) on the music video for 'Toulouse' by Nicky Romero

We have decided to start the 60 second recreation from around 21 seconds when the main 'character' is reading the bus stop sign which will go on until around 1 min 21 seconds just before they meet the additional two guys. 

TRANSITION TASK - Brief

Remake 60 seconds of an existing music video.
