25: Film Cast


Philippa Randall shall be the singer in my music video and will be involved mainly in the lip-syncing shots. I choose Philippa as she is part of the leading edge and already embodies some of the characteristics that my target audience will enjoy. She is also an A-level drama student and has starred in multiple musicals. She is also experienced with performing in media studies videos as she has done so in the past. In conclusion Philippa's experience will help when I am creating and filming the music video.
For the protagonist in my video I will use Jessica Gardiner and Nicola Gardiner. Both of these actresses shall play the protagonist as by the end of the video the younger actress will have grown-up. I chose these actresses as they are in different age ranges and attract different audience members in comparison to the singer. By having a mix it allows the music video to be viewed by a wider range of people. Due to the actresses being family members they are reliable and I know I will be able to get them for their scenes.

24: Location Shots

These are my location shots. 
The majority of my filming is in the forest and infront of a projector.
The projector shots are used with a layover of the forest landscape; this is for the lip-syncing shots.
Then the house and garden will be of the shots of the young actress running away from home. The shot of the city is only the final bit of the elder actress entering the city.

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track

Train Station
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back

Studio
She hid around corners and she hid under beds

Train Station
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled

Train Station
With every bubble she sank with a drink

Studio
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

Train Station
The dog days are over

On Train
The dog days are done

Outside
The horses are coming so you better run

Studio
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father

Outside
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers

Outside
Leave all your love and your longing behind you

Outside
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Outside
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

Outside
The dog days are over

Countryside
The dog days are done

Path
Can't you hear the horses

Studio
'Cause here they come

Studio
And I never wanted anything from you

Countryside
Except everything you had

Countryside
And what was left after that too, oh.

Studio
And what was left after that too, oh.

Field
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Village
Struck from a great height

Village
By someone who should know better than that

Village
The dog days are over

Woods
The dog days are done

Studio
Can you hear the horses

Studio
'Cause here they come

Studio
Run fast for your mother and fast for your father

Studio
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers

Studio
Leave all your love and your loving behind you

Studio
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
