Planning Post 4: Various lists.

Here is a list of all the various props, costumes, casting shots and location shots that we intend to use.

As we are trying to keep things minimal in order to create a lonely feel, as the song to some degree is mourning the loss of a loved one, therefore our props will be minimal also. We will be using Jay's guitar (our performers own instrument) as a main prop. Other props will come in with the locations as i am hoping to get shots of Jay performing on rocky areas, therefore the landscape will be the prop.
Also, we are hoping to do internal shooting, so personal items that you would expect a couple to have will be place in order to crate a sense of verisimilitude.  Things like photographs, clothing and other personal items will be in shot to re-create a sense of realism. These internal shots will be used for flashback scenes.

In terms of costume, our performers will wear gender stereotypical clothing for the Indie/ Pop genre.
For shannon, se will be wearing a dress, tights, boots with over knee socks,  cardigan, coat and scarf. this layering effect will keep her warm, whilst still reflecting the genre well.
Her hair will be done so that it looks to be simple and easy, though there will be style behind it. most probably a half up half down hairstyle.
Here is an image from google that is similar to the outfit i have in mind for her to wear:

Here this model is wearing a long coat with a woolen scarf and boots. This is fairly similar to how i imagine Shannon to dress for the shoot.







For our male artist/ performer, Jay, His costume will be of stereotypical male indie wear.
Boots or old converse, ripped jeans, long coat or jacket unzipped with a gingham shirt and either a band T-shirt or a plain shirt with a large print in the middle. Here is another image from google similar to what i imagined:



Although this particular image is not exactly winter clothing, this can simply be solved by adding gloves, coat, scarf and possibly a hat.
