Initial Planning/Meeting #1

Today we met and decided to start planning our music video. We'd already come up with an initial pitch, and now it was time to start thinking about who we were going to get to be in it, where we'll film it and what specifically we needed to film. 

To do this we sat down and talked it through; we contacted some of our friends to ask if they'd be interested in starring in our video, and whilst waiting for replies we discussed 'what' and 'where'.  

First we narrowed down the eras: although we would love to do every decade in the 1900s, we are realistic and knew this would not happen. To combat this, we have decided to do every second decade, starting in the 1920s. We also thought we could throw in the 70s if we were having difficulties as it is so iconic.

We had mainly sorted the costume before this meeting, so it was just the setting to go. Influenced by the book and film 'The Great Gatsby', we decided to set the 1920s scene at a small party, as many of the books scenes are set that way. For the war era, the 1940s, we were thinking of having the girl dancing with a boy in war uniform to a dance such as the Lindy Hop as this was all particularly iconic of the time, especially with the damage done by WW2. For the 1960s we thought we could either shoot in a 60s style diner or throw a 60s themed party, but it depends on the budget and availability of certain people.  For the 80s; an aerobics class and finally, a house for present day.
