About my role and why we chose the song

This song is definitely a love song and is the one we have chosen to do for our brief. A song about someone really loving someone. Never wanting to let that person go. Knowing you have the ability to help that someone knock down their walls. knowing you have the ability to help them and make them happy if only they would let you. Knowing you could love them unconditionally if you could just "latch on to their love". 

My role within the group is to provide the actors with their costumes and props. In the first scene at the train station, I need to provide rhyce with the beats headphones. I then need to provide lucy with things such as her winter mits/gloves and her handbag. We are going to be recording in the park soon and depending on the weather, this is how the outfits will be planned because both times that we've recorded, the temperature has not be the hottest so our actors have had to wrap up warm. 

I am also going to help out with recording on the came. I have to look closely at some of the shots used in the video 'latch' its self. A lot of the angles and shots used were close up's from the waist upwards. There was also shots taken from far away so that i now know i need to mix up my camera angles and shots throughout our music video which will then be similar to the actual video. 

We took our main actor Rhyce down one of the alley ways which was a location we chose to shoot at for our draft video. We are following the theme of the sad love song and the actor should give an impression as to how he looks lonely walking by himself then he finally meets the girl of his dreams. A lonely dark atmosphere helps to get this impression across! 

Location pictures

Lastnight I went on a trip to Birkenhead park and took many pictures of one of the locations for our music video. The shots I took were all of different angles and some of the images show what it looks like when someone's standing there personally. For example, the bridge, I stood on it and took a shot so I could see exactly what I was going to be working with in the future! All the shots that I took were romantic places that you are more than likely to go on a walk to with a date. For example, the rocks, then the boat house then the red bridge. This links in with the song 'latch' because that's a romantic song and I feel I have taken pictures of the right images in relation to my music video which will be created soon

reason behind the location

Our song 'Latch' by Sam Smith is a love song so when deciding the location, we tried to have it in a romantic kind of area. Maybe somewhere that you would go on a date to. First of all, we are starting in the train station where the couple meet. This is like any couple out there, they could meet that special person anywhere so this is why we thought of the train station. Next we will move on to the location either of the liverpool docks were there are pretty blue lights surrounding the water front which again makes the location look romantic and where you and your boyfriend/girlfriend would go on a walk along. We will then be moving to the boat house in Birkenhead. I would say this is more of an area were someone would just sit and talk with their date because its quite a quiet area. These above are the reasons behind our chosen location and I really hope we can make them effective when it comes to recording our music video!
