Poster ideas

In the coridor where Paula will walk will be a 60's poster of 'Jack Thomson' and a modern one. Both in the same style but different colours (60's will be black white) and writing plus different text. We will have a picture of the lead singer from the side and he is looking at the writing. Probably on the modern one he will wear sunglasses.

Cast List

Lead Singer: Will Teal
Guitar: Tom Evans
Bongos: Glen Pegado
Drums: Jamie Parker
Bass: Sam Hindmarsh

Main Girl: Paula Riemann

Audience Members: Helen Lagender, Courtney Madinca, Tabitha Brown,
Emma Stack

TV Presenter: Hugo Ellis

Bodyguard: James Tunstill, Adam Grant

Camera Man: Jason Guildford

This is the Cast for our Production. We had to find a Cast that could, especially in case of the band, look very 60's (hairstyle) but easily be made modern. With the lead singer being Will Teal we found someone perfect even though he is A2 so it was very hard to get him out of lessons, but he has the perfect hairstyle and look for the video. The rest of the band kind of fits that description as well and most of them play the instruments they are meant to play in the video which will probably make things easier. The audience members were chosen simply because of looks and availability and the bodyguards as well because they both look pretty scary and stereotypical. We chose Hugo as our TV presenter, because he has the kind of look as well and as he is my drama teacher I know he will be perfect doing it.

Props List

Microphone (60's - modern)
Bass (60's - modern)
Guitar (60's - modern)
Drums (60's - modern)
Bongos (60's - modern)
These instruments in 60's style and modern version are provided and organized by the school. We want these to change as well because that will signify very clearly that we are changing time.
60's TV Camera
We will rent that for about 100 £ for our video.
Posters for the corridor
We will take pictures of people (and ourselves) plus the band (Jack Thompson and the Quartet) and then, with the help of the photography department print these of and make them in a 60's style to use for the corridor in our music video.

E-mail, organizing costume for cast

This is the final version of our Pop Video Cast

Helen Lageder, Courtney Madincea, Tabitha Brown, Emma Stack - Audience Members


The shoot day is the 25th of November and we will send you the shooting schedule as soon as it is finished. Please come with you hair undone so we can then do it for you. You'll be given costumes for when you should look like you are 60's, however when you are meant to look modern we were hoping that you have your own clothes.
If you are a member of the band please, as a modern outfit, wear normal shoes (not white), dark jeans and bring a "good" looking t-shirt and a white shirt in. If you are an audience member pease wear whatever you would wear if you were going to a concert of a rock band. If you are the lead girl (Paula) please wear your biker boots, skinny jeans (either dark blue or black) and bring in about 5 different tops you would wear at a rock concert so we can then decide what looks best.

As well as this for the boys and the audience members, we will sort out 60's outfits which you will have to try on, so please send me an e-mail telling me when you have some free time (probably just about 10 minutes) so that we can see whether it fits and looks good or not. Please also send me a mail with your shoe and clothing size.

Thanks already, I hope you are looking forward to the shoot and thanks for being in it.

Steph, Emma and Chazz

60's camera

Marconi V322 came out in 1960’s to 1970’s and it is a broadcast camera, 2 specimens available.

This camera we want to use in our shoot, a man is sitting behind it and it should seem like he is filming the whole band.

Not strictly a 'broadcast' camera, but certainly a quality vidicon camera. The V322 was intended for industrial and educational studio applications and saw widespread use with educational bodies and in corporate training/promo facilities. Not to mention a few broadcasters too! The camera appears here on a 'Dennard' pedestal. Click on the image to see the reverse aspect.

This is the camera that we found on goldenagetv and I have contacted Paul Marshall and he said we could pick it up in Sessex for our shoot day for about 150 pounds. Steph wrote an e-mail to them and they answered:
“Hello Stephanie,

The address is:

Fern House
Church Road
Harby
NEWARK
Notts
NG23 7ED

It's actually 8 miles west of Lincoln, just a few miles off of the A1 Newark A46 turn off. It's a cream coloured detached house, the first (and only) one on Church Road, There's a very large green barn to the left containing most of the stock and a 34' long television OB truck to the right. It's fairly easy to find . . .

We normally operate with Purchase Order and Invoice to be paid by cheque or BACS. Cash is OK but we will still need some sort of *official* order, a formal e mail or a letter in the post with your company letter head. The price is as agreed at 150 UKP for one day. The 'one day' is flexible in that you could pick it up a day or two before and return a day or two later. The hire charge reflects one 'used' day.

Beware that the pedestal is heavy (so too is the camera). It does break up into a 'skid' and the central column with the legs folding in. It will go in a car/small van.

Hope this is all OK

Many thanks,

Best regards,

Paul Marshall
Partner, GATV”

Now we have to get the camera three days before our shoot and we asked a driver to get it with us, when we will have the camera we will work out how and how often we want to use it in out shoot.
