We started off filming in the food court with kamara and Iyaz. they were sitting across from each other whilst iyaz sang to her. This reherasal day was productive as we got alot of filming done.

Updated Char profile-

As our group decided to film we all agreed after some consideration that our actors were much better suited for different roles instead and so we decided to switch them around to create a more natural boy band. Vaughn was originally going to play Kendall, he is now playing Logan. He best suits the role of Logan because he is committed performer at making the audience believe the relationship between him and the girl is genuine. Montel was originally going to play Logan, he is now playing IYAZ. Montel suits the role of IYAZ better because he good at rapping, moreover his dress style is more urban and we believe that this fits the IYAZ character better. Lastly, Fran who was originally going to play IYAZ. Fran is quieter therefore we agreed that he would best suit James in the music video.

Response to 1st rehearasal day (Meet up)

My group and I asked the actors if we could meet up in order to go throught the shooting script with them. This was so that they understood what we wanted them to do in terms of narrative and give them time to listen to the song choice and get a feel of the various things they would need to do. it was essential that this meeting took place as it would allow us to make better time of our other rehersal days.

Change in our "Updated shooting script" - Sharmin

Our "Updated shooting script" was an idea that we came up with during production. However there has been changes as the characters have changed. Kendall -- Francisco Logan -- Vaughn Iyaz -- Montel As the characters have swapped the location to London is unnecessary to use. So we have chosen the character Logan to have his verse in a classroom and singing to his love interest. While Francisco's character, Kendall, will have his verse in a house party and singing to the camera and the guests at the party.

Update 13th Jan- Lauren

Today we started to look through the pictures we had taken previously to see which ones would be suitable for both the digipak and website. We took a variety of images because our target audience is very visual ,therefore, they would want to see the boys in different settings, attire etc. The images wont go to waste as they will be used for the gallery page on the website so that fans can see more photos of them. As the boys have a drama exam coming up we will have to take more pictures soon. During this period we will work on editing the exiting images we have for the digipak and website.

Our first photo shoot provided us with some good images however we need to take more in a different setting and clothing so that we provide our fans with more variety,as well as pictures capturing them performing. We will take more pictures in the park as well as more in the studio but with different attire. This is so that our target audience can be provided with a variety of shots.

Music video inspiration- sharmin


The JLS music video inspired us because as a boy band, they had the element of performance which we could use in our music video. Simon Frith stated that music videos are characterised by three typologies. The performance typology is a common type where the group will singing while dancing. We liked the idea of having similar outfits to show the audience that they are in a group, making it easier for the target audience to recognise them. They are constructed by the industry to make out money from the audiences so it is important for audiences to recognise the boy band and sell the video.
