Casting

Anna and I originally wanted our main character in the video to be a boy, this was to portray the idea that the character is expressing the lyrics himself, and the lyrics are what he is thinking, but may never have the courage to declare. However due to the fact that our actor was not very reliable and had a set timetable which we could not fit into, Anna and I thought it would be best if we took the role of the main character, and interpreted the song in a different way (the girl is listening to the song, oblivious to the fact that it is about her). We thought the easiest way to do this was to flip a coin, I was the coins chosen victim, I did not mind doing the role, as I acted in my AS thriller film. Later on we then felt that this decision was a superb idea, as my dark brown hair would stand out perfectly over the location (beach huts, sand, sea). Also that the white headphones would be seen, as this was an aspect we were worried about.

By casting an actor who is in the same age range as, not only the members of Jungle Doctors, but also the target audience, the resolution is the audience relating to the character. For example, some girls dream for a man to sing to them, which can be interpreted to happen in our music video.

 

Different Interpretations we are trying to portray in our video:

· Lead singer is serenading the girl (song written for her) but she is completely oblivious

· the girl is just one of many listening to the song - no deeper meaning

· By listening to the song it has almost brainwashed her into going to specific places relevant to the song

· no real story to it - montage - girl going about her daily life

 

. The location and aspects of the video can be emphasised with the lyrics (For example; 'We'll take flight tonight', there is a shot of a bird flying out to sea, refelcting the power of the bands lyrics and beats towards their audience

 

 

 

 

The track heightens the scenery in front of the girl (landscape/locations) For example the sea and the Norfolk Broad offer a stunning contrast when juxtaposed which shots of the arcade. This reflects the power of the band and how they can promote and emphasis the energy of their fans.
