Who will appear in the video?

As group we came up with the final decision on who will be featured within our music video. We decided not to include the artist, this is because of the research we have conducted previously. The artist's do not tend to appear in the music videos. This will help us follow the typical codes and conventions related with the dance music genre and its sub-genres. The use of narrative which will be based on a male actor who will enable us to produce a music video which has a sense of storytelling rather than performance.

We are planning to use 2 actors a male and female as the story we are trying to portray will need a male and female actors. However, there is a possibility that we change and include only 1 model within the story line, depending on the time management and storyboard plan itself. Presenting 1 or 2 actors will allow us to follow the codes and conventions as the narrative often involves more than one person. The actor who may be featured within our music video are: Ahmed, Stefanie and Hannah. The actors they will be the same age as the audience we will be targeting, which will make it more appealing and suitable for the music video as it will enable the viewer to relate their personal life to the situations and scenes displayed within the narrative. Due the fact that the artist will not be featured within the music video, as group we have decided to reflect the artist within the models and this part of the reason why we decided the main actor should be male.

Furthermore, we are planning to include various filters such as thermal heat in our music video. We were influenced by the video Alan Walker- “Sing me to sleep”, where they have added this effect and more. We decided to take this idea and use it in our own video. We believe that this type of effect will allow us to produce a high quality and successful music video.
