Scene plan and next steps

These are the scenes I have thought up and created which link to the lyrics of the song. I understand scenes are subject to change but I believe I have some very good ideas. My plan now is to get some shots of my filming locations and to rehearse filming my video. I also need to get some headshots and costume for my characters.

Scene plan for my video

my actors

I have contacted all my actors who I would like to play certain characters. They have all agreed to help and participate in my video.

Bethany Swan- Bethany will play Londy the stripper.

Joshua Jackson- Josh will play the main character and will lip sync to my song

Jamie Davis- Jamie will play Londys ex husband

Rebekah Short- Rebekah will play Londys younger sister

Jamie Cowley- Jamie will be playing Londys son

Character stories for my music video

The Stripper(Londy)- The stripper is struggling for money and can't get employed so she sells herself for sex at parties. She has a son at home who needs feeding and is living in harsh living conditions. She is also feeling very suicidal and had a very tough up bringing.

The Strippers son- The son of the stripper lives an extremely poor life. He is often left at home all alone whilst his mother goes out to make money as a stripper. He has very little to eat and lives in a house which is very bare, rundown and dirty.

The strippers sister- I will use the strippers sister to relate to the lyrics ' cause me and my sister ran away so our daddy couldn't rape us'. Both sisters have had a tough upbringing an they end up running away from home together so they can't be abused by their father.

The strippers husband- The strippers husband has had a life of going in and out of prison for various offences, he is not in a relationship with the stripper and is smoking crack cocaine.

The lead singer- The lead singer who will lip sync to the song is at a party with friends and notices an old school friend is working as aspire there with 6 other women. The lead singer is a sophisticated and smart man and asks the stripper why she is doing this to her self and tells her to pick herself up and sort her life out.

Underwear shot for my video

This is an example of a shot I would like to use to link to the lyrics "So for you this is just a good time, But for me this is what I call life" or "Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?". I am using this shot because it suggests the man and the prostitute are going to have sex without having to actually show it. Having the underwear in the foreground and the prostitute walking away in the distance shows she is walking over to the man or a bed. I am able to use this shot because it is not too seductive.

Organising props and characters.

props- In my music video I am planning to show the use of alcohol. I currently work in a bar and I have asked my manger if I am able to take away a variety of empty bottles and they have agreed to let me.

Character- In my video it mentions about a little boy. I have a class member who has a younger brother who fits the requirements that I would like for my video. I will have him looking very innocent and sad as I want my audience to feel sorry for him.
