This raw footage is part of the start/chorus of my music video. The idea was to create a stage feel with the microphone prop. I also feel if there was no mic prop I believe it would be a lot more difficult to create a realistic music video because it would simply just be one artist in a forest with no props. The location I used was a public forest, which has large areas where we had enough space to have a good looking background behind my artist. Another positive was the pathway, where I was able to get extreme long shots of my artist walking towards the mic. The pathway gave me many ideas in terms of editing down into a montage of him walking towards the mic. One drawback of this location is the constant dog walkers coming past. Because of this, it took longer to record footage as they would come past when the camera was recording. Above shows a Google maps direction on how to get to my location from college.

Casting : image of your talent and why they were chose as artist Artist name For most artists, merchandise is sold for another way to generate money and also to be connected with their audience. Usually, especially in the Indie rock genre, the logo on merch is mainly just the artist/bands name. The logo "Callum Rudd" is the name of my artist.

This is because my artist will be seen wearing a rain jacket which has a familiar paisley pattern. Although it would be something for the audience to recognise my artist with, I wanted to go for something more simple, therefore going for a black and white theme.
