Organisation / Drafting & Planning : Story plan update.

In my original storyboard, I planned to have a wide variety of backgrounds and a very large supporting cast to lip sync.

Since then, I have changed my plans.

Me (the protagonist) and Paige (2nd actress) will perform lip syncing against a plain white wall, which can be found in my Locations post. We are sharing this location as our stories are connected. I have chosen to remain with a white wall to conform to the common conventions of alternative rock music videos, for example, in Marilyn Manson's Third Day Of A 7 Day Binge the protagonist performs in front of a plain background.

Two of my supporting actors, Shannen and Kevin will be filmed against a brick wall as their stories are connected. Shannen and Kevin's story shows a couple in a long distance relationship who can only talk through social media finally meeting up again.

A third supporting actor, Danielle, was filmed against a wall in the girls bathroom, however, the texture on the wall makes it appear as though she is outside a building. Her story is not connected to any of the other actors, which means that the rest of the supporting actors will have a different background to hers when they are lip syncing.

I have also decided that apart from the scenes above, I will attempt to film most of the other supporting actors outside. This will contrast nicely with the 'nature' aspect, to reflect the naturalness of sexuality, and the unnaturalness of man-made technology such as the mobiles and laptops that will feature in the music video.
