Artist:
Lead female vocalist: Georgie Thoupos
- we cast Georgie as our lead female vocalist as she has the biggest part in the video and Georgie has worked on a music video in the leading role before. She is comfortable performing in front of the camera, and we feel that her look matches that of our artist.
We wanted to do a test shoot with Georgie before we did any real shoots; the purpose of this was to how Georgie would perform in front of a camera taking on the role of our lead singer whilst lipsynching to our song. We wanted to make Georgie feel comfortable singing in front of the camera before the real shoot, to give her some practice and some time to get used to performing the song so she would be able to perform her best on the day of the real shoot.
This video shows one of the performance rehearsals we did with Georgie; overall it went well but it did highlight some of the points that we needed to work on as a group. We could see that Georgie was going to perform well, and take on the role just as we had hoped but she did need some more rehearsal time to learn the lyrics. We also learned that as a group we had to be more specific and clear with the directions that we were giving Georgie to make her performance as good as possible.
Looking back on this, I think that it was definitely a good idea to do performance rehearsals and perhaps we should have done more but it was difficult to fit in rehearsals with all of the work that the whole group were already doing. The main thing I think that we all took from this rehearsal was that we were all equally confident in Georgie and her ability to perform on the day. This was really important as her role as the main singer and one third of our artist is crucial to our video.
DJ 1: Eugene Leach
- Eugene fits the profile of our male DJs, matching the look that we were aiming for; he's also confident and has had past experience working in media productions
DJ 2: Gavin Fraser
- Gavin has also had past experience working in media productions and worked with all of us on our music video shoot last year; he is also comfortable performing in front of the camera
