Hurtwood Media A2 - Screen tests

Three of the Five girls for our music video where available today to do some initial screen tests and also to just give them a general overview of what our vision for this video is.

Afterwards, I was really reasured and excited about our choice as they all seemed really keen and also fit what it is we are looking for perfectly :)
Which is so reasuring!!

 
Dayana:

 

 



 Dayana is brilliant. She has a warm presence and knows when to have a laugh, whilst understanding the seriousness of our task. She also understands how to work a camera due to previous experience.



Amber:

Amber also has a great presence and works the camera well. She plays the guitar which is to our advantage and knows how to work the camera due to previous experience.


Anastasia:

Anastasia has a lot of energy which is great for stage presence! Although I have just met her, I feel like she is very keen and will fit in brilliantly with our whole video.

Hurtwood Media A2 - Organisation of equipment

Hurtwood Media A2 - Update

Yesterday, we maganed to contact the costume and make-up supplier for the school about what she may possibly have that fits our criteria to save us from going out and buying and spending money unnecessarily.

This was only brief as at the moment she is tight for time due to other commitments, but she was able to quickly answer a few queries.
She said she has suits/tuxedos that we could use, in addition to this she has a huge amount of make-up and its equipment that we could use for the girls and also as props for the Backstage set-up. Furthermore, she has a wide range of various jewerlley that she is willing to lend us.

But like I said before, at this current point in time she is unable to focus on our questions so she's asked if we could meet her breifly on Friday so she can show us the suits and various props that she is willing for us to borrow.

Massive Thank You to her!!!!!

Hurtwood Media A2 - Costume and Prop Organisation

Finla Costume and Appearence Docu


As it stand props are very similar as I have posted about prior to this.
We are yet able to begin getting any of these as well as the costumes as we are waiting to hear from the drama and costume department here at the school about whether or not they arer able to supply us with anything.

Thankfully, after a discussion between the group I am feeling quite confident with how our video work and progression is going. As soon as we hear anything from the departments here we ca get right on the case about finding our own way of getting equipment.
