Casting

The dancers in my video must be young to represent youth culture, and preferably represent a range of cultures. My friend Tom is a dancer so I began by asking him if him and his friends would be in my music video. Tom is a 17 year old mixed race boy who dances with other young people both white and black, so they would be great for my video as these are the demographics I am aiming to represent. Also, it is an advantage that Tom is my friend as I know I will able to rely on him and he lives down the same road as me, so it extremely easy for me to meet up with him. To arrange the filming day and ask Tom to agree to be part of my video, using Whatsapp was the easiest and most convenient method. Below, I have included screenshots to evidence this and the planning for filming. Whatsapp also allows you to create group chats which I found really helpful, and this is seen in the third screenshot.

We eventually arranged to film on the following Sunday, which is the 31st January. After this, I am going to upload the shots onto Adobe Premiere Pro and assess whether I need to plan another filming day.
