Band Image

Adjustments and Final Decisions.

After we had our first run through of the song with the band we decided to change the second guitarist Chris for our backup guitarist Peter.

Peter came across as more enthusiastic and confident on the camera and was able to wear Chris' leather jacket making him fit into the band really well.

Peter is also a drama student so was comfortable on the camera whereas Chris didnt seem so confident. Peter has also agreed to take on the role of guitarist and is reliable for future shoots.

We also faced some difficulties when shooting, as there were two P.E. lessons on the field at the time that we were shooting, which has made us realise the importance of checking the availability of the location that we intend to use in the future.

We were also infested by ladybirds, and therefore some of the shots we cannot use.

Drummer

The decision to use Luke as the drummer was a last minute decision as up until then i was going to dress as a boy and be the drummer. As it didnt look as realistic and i didnt look enough like a boy i found Luke.

As Luke is a drummer and suits the part more with his long hair and indie look he was a much better choice and the group agreed.

Guitarist Two

We chose Chris to be our second guitarist for the band purely because we felt that he had a good look for the band (long hair, leather jacket...) and he would really suit the bands image.

Also as he is the boyfriend of Amanda we knew he could be counted upon to be reliable and turn up on time and at every shooting.

Guitarist One

We casted George as the first guitarist as we were confident in his ability to be on camera as he is drama student and also has a love of music that shows in his performance. When we decided that the band should go for a 'smart casual' look we knew that Georges wardrobe is like that so it would make it easier for us.

Lead Singer

As a group we decided that Matt would be best suited to a lead singer because we knew that he was confident to enough to sing in front us when we saw him in our Britney video and as he is part of the group we knew he would be reliable and make a good effort.

The lip synching task seconded our decisiom to use Matt as the lead singer because he was perfect at exaggerating his lip movement and looking like he was really singing.

He also looks the part of the band and had a good wardrobe for all different types of style.
