A2 Music Video: Chosen Colour Scheme


 After asking my target audience these are the two colour schemes that they preferred, personally I favour the second colour scheme and since an equal amount of people voted for each this will be up to me to decide. Therefore, my chosen colour scheme will be the second picture shown.

A2 Music Video: Lighting


For the majority of my music video I will need the use of artificial lighting, this will mainly be because I will be inside and natural light may not be strong enough to make the picture vivid; although I could consider using natural light at the end of the music video as it goes with the whole concept of 'be true to who you are, be natural, be yourself, not someone else'. Additionally, when I want to film outside in the night or dark cloudy conditions it will also be needed for obvious reasons.

A2 Music Video: Toby Gad ‘Who you are' producer


Toby Gad is a Los Angeles-based hit from Germany, best known for Fergie's Grammy nominated hit song "Big Girls Don't Cry", producing BeyoncĂ©'s worldwide number 1 hit "If I Were a Boy", and The Veronicas multi-platinum number 1 "Untouched"; all of which are the same genre and style as ‘Who you are’ so i could use his past works for further inspiration for my own music video.

A2 Music Video: Props

Props will play a minor role in my music video, although the actress will be interacting with them frequently. Firstly, when concerning the desk scene there will be props, such as hair dryer, multiple nail varnishes, makeup brushes and makeup scattered around the desk. Later on with the desk scene there will also be magazines, books, drawings etc. Moreover, a wardrobe and multiple items of clothing will also be used as props in later scenes towards the end of the video.

A2 Music Video: Locations

The main setting for my A2 music video project will be in a bedroom, either the actresses, extras, or mine. The actress will be sitting at a desk for the establishing shot and other shots throughout the music video, but the camera angles will change, one main feature will be the actress sitting at the desk, facing forward with a medium close up : like she’s looking into a mirror when in reality she’s just looking into the camera.. As the song and video continue the setting will change to outside, a deserted street, when it’s preferably raining. For a couple of shots she will be sitting in a wood, or park, which exactly I will choose on a later date. Additionally, for various shots, usually the ones with the extras, she will be walking through a high street or town (like before I will choose exactly where on a later date).
