Actors costume and props

Actors

I will be using Dan Grevatt as my main actor because he has long hair and will suit the rocker style.

I will be trying to create a “Being John Malkovich” effect throughout the music video and I chose Dan because he has black hair which is the easiest to recreate scenes where his face isn’t there. I also chose Dan because I know that he can act to the levels that I need in the video and because he is reliable to work with.

ClothingMy actors will wear cloths that suit rock music and to make sure that it is right I will be basing my clothing on bands clothing and what type of clothing that is stereotypically associated with the rock music genre. The clothing will consist of leather jackets, worn jeans, old tattered shoes, plain white t-shirts or bright tight t-shirts. I will also need clothing stereotypically associated with being old for the scene where Dan meets his future self. The clothing is really important because the mise-en-scene is what people pay attention too to understand the video more clearly and so that its genre can be identified quickly.

Props

The main props I need are musical instruments such as guitars drums and base and all the instruments I will use will either be mine or ones borrowed from friends.

I will also be using a mobility scooter in the scene where Dan meets his elder self because it will add to comedic effect as well as the authenticity.

I will be using other props from cars to cups but they will play very little part in this video.
