Group Progress

Since been given our final groups, myself and my other three group members have started developing the idea for our music video. Admittedly we had a slow start but in the past week we've really progressed with our idea and it's coming together well. So far, we've come up with a shortlist of possible actresses to play the lead role in our video; we then whittled that down to a possible two whom we now plan to approach with our proposed idea and audition them for the role. The main reason for doing so is to give us a clearer direction with the process ahead - by having actors in mind we are all able to see a clearer picture for the video, making it a lot easier to all think in the same way.

We've also started to come up with some solid ideas for the storyline. By basing our music video around a themed narrative - with the girl carrying out indoor activities outside (getting dressed, eating etc.) - we can come up with some more appropriate ideas for the piece and also have a better understanding of what is realistic and what isn't. So far I feel the group dynamic has been really positive - we all seem to have an optimistic approach to the project and although there have been times where we've wondered if our idea is too unrealistic to achieve, we've managed to get over these doubts and find solutions to the problems that have arisen.

We've already had thoughts as to where we can shoot our video and once we have our actress confirmed we can start to sort out shooting arrangements more solidly. In my opinion targets we need to achieve for the next week are confirming our actress and location for the shoot and then to sort out times and dates that all members of the group can attend.
