New plan
The day which we were supposed to film in the University, Jessica Thomas text in to say she would not be coming in due to some back problem and from there on we would not be able to use her, this put a big pause on the music video.
I have decided to change my music video to be able to work around the time that we have, we will film in my house because i have a big enough room to film in and we will film in the Central which is my local pub, then we will film in the rehersal room where the performance part will be done. Cathrine Hughes will look around for someone who is fit for the part in the short time we have.

Accident
Accident
due to a accident which Cathrine Hughes and Lyxie were in they are unable to film with us. Cathrine will be in the next week and Lyxie will not be able to film at all due to a broken spine. From help from the class Jessica Thomas has agreed to take over as playgirl, which helps us as we are short of time. we have arranged that we will be filming in the feild in the College to get memory scenes where Nick and Jessica will act.
The filming that we have done today is them holding hands and walking away. They are having fun and are in love. Filming as gone well and this week we will go to University to film the pub scene.

Filming
Filming
we have decided that we want to film in the flat that Cathrine Hughes is providing us with because of the setting we are looking for, we want her to wake up in the flat with her man friend in the bed, to represent that she has slept with him when she has a boyfriend. From the filming that we have done we have shot her getting up and answering the phone also getting up to get ready. for the next scene where she goes out we will have her to walk in Ponty Park where there is a location that there are no children at.

Meetings
Meetings.
in meetings we have decided who is to do certain tasks that need to be taken out to help each other out, and in every meeting Cathrine and myself have been present but Steven has missed the odd few and without lettings us know, because of this i myself has had to take over his tasks to be able to help the team move on in the work. Tasks such as lighting. I have research some music video which i feel give the effect we are looking for.
I have researched

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUsbpmQ9-mc&feature=relmfu
From the video bulletproof i like the white background and effects that are given out, and from the video in for the kill i like the pink and blue colours that are shown on her face. she also looks very natural so the makeup used may work better for the conscience we want. The pink and blue will look good for the party scene to give a cold and warm effect.

Research/location
Research on location is becoming difficult because we are unsure what is to happen in the music video, we are not sure wether we want a house party or a drink in the pub. We will either try to use the flat that Cathrine is providing or the University of Glamorgan.which is allowed by the President of the Union Helen Wakeford. To be able to find the locations Cathrine is going to look at the areas and assess if she likes them or not. In case we change our mind for the pub scene we will go along with the house party scene as a backup.
Here are images of the union which we will be using.
From the images i can see that the area is big enough for shooting which is what i am looking for and to get the real sense that we are in a pub.

Research
Research on playgirl look
I have researched online for what I want, first I researched Effie from Skins, because she has that look I am looking for she has the hair and the makeup that goes with the personality. I like the style that she has which is scruffy and baggy. Boots would be preferred. I then researched the other side of Effie and she looks clean, pretty and angel like, because her face looks fresh which is what I am looking for.
This is the look I am looking for, for the playgirl, I think that the dark makeup looks well with the role that the playgirl is playing.
This is the look that I am going for, for the conscience because she looks natural and pretty, like a conscience should look like.
Research clothes
New Look
This is the clothing that I want playgirl to wear and white for the conscience, with legging or jeans the color that the top is. These tops are £3.99 each.
Primark
You have to go to the store to be able to buy anything, no products available to buy online or see.
Amazon
This is a top which i prefer than the other, only problem is that it is more expensive £8.95.
Ebay
I found some tops which were priced the same above.
Tank tops and short sleeved tops.
Planning costumes and locations
Planning
Locations and costumes
Locations are vital to make the scene for this story and the places I have in mind are a bedroom, pub/club and an outdoor area such as Ponty Park. Costumes also determine the character of each person. I want Playgirl to look almost grungy and drunk. She will wear black clothes to represent the devil. The conscience will wear white to represent an angel; a dress is preferred to give the shape of a ghost.
Location
Bedroom scene:- Catherine Hughes empty flat
Party Scene:- Auditoruim or Ivor Hael
Outside scene:- Ponty Park
Costumes
Conscience:- White clothing, pale face, red cheeks, angel look.
Playgirl:- Black clothing, dark face, loads of makeup, scruffy, devil look.
Where will i find these items?
Ebay
Amazon

My Idea
Ladytron
Playgirl
Playgirl is about a girl who sleeps around; she gets money for it and feels that this isn’t the life for her because she is lonely.
Idea?
The playgirl will do what she normally does, get up get ready and go out drinking. Throughout her conscience will be following her, the playgirl cannot see her and the conscience is there to give her the sense of what she is doing is wrong. The conscience cannot interact with the playgirl. Near the end of the playgirl’s night, things start to turn the worst for the playgirl.
E.g. she gets attack because she is selling herself by a man.
The conscience stares into the camera, for dramatic effect, and then the whole day is played backward till the point the playgirl wakes up. The playgirl gets up and sits in front of the mirror. The meaning of this is that the playgirl gets to get a second chance in life and that she can start again.
“Northern lights catch you coming down”. This could be a memory that the playgirl has whilst out. (Flashback) This is an act of the conscience.
There are loads of objects and actions that can be shown or performed in the music video, as the lyrics shows.
Objects and actions
Dancing
Sleeping
Cigarettes
Telephone box
Calendar
Account number/bank
The objects and actions from the lyrics can be shown throughout the music video, triggering memories to the playgirl. Memories of for example: - she was with someone she loved who she left, and dates and objects connect with what went on in the day.
A date could be shown and the girl flashes back to a calendar and on the calendar say something of what is on that day. (Part as a flashback, which stops the playgirl doing what she is doing.)
Scenes set?
Party/pub/club
House/bedroom/living room
Outside (to show her going out)/smoking
