Performance Actors and Costume

We have decided to film some performance to add into our video after our audience suggested it. We need to do this quite quickly, so we needed people we could organise to come in easily and who were familiar with our song and video style. Because of this we decided to use people from within our group, so myself and Emma Guest will be performing as the band in our video. We think this is a suitable and practical choice, that will work for the genre of our video. 


To tie this performance into the rest of the video we have decided to film it in the Assembly Rooms where we filmed the clowns performance. Music videos often use locations for both the performance and narrative, this works especially well for us as the location is a theatre with a stage where the band can perform. We have decided to continue the clown theme, though also making it suit our audience and look stylish rather than like a costume. We chose to model the outfits on mime artists, as the clothes are similar in style to the way our audience dresses.

We are using some props too, a guitar and microphone, to make the video look more authentic. This also means we can film some instrument performance, another important convention of music videos.


We have filmed in the Assembly Rooms before and the footage we got was darker than we thought when filming, This time we intend to get much more light so that this section of our video will be clearer
