There were many factors involved in the allocation of myself into the video piece, the ambition and drive to take part deriving from the fact that I was being marked for the piece, so not putting in full effort would cost me dearly; the fact that I am profecciant at playing guitar also added a sense of realism towards the performance aspects. The factor of image was also reassured with aspects such as costume easy to find, and my long hair also boosted a rebellious image popular with our audience demographic and of the performers within our genre.
Alongside bassist and fellow group-member Dexter, James was allocated the role of singer within our production due to his prowess as an actor; studying Drama alongside Media. James ability to drive also was a great help in filming our production, as we had intended to include many shots of the band in a car, with James driving.
As a profecciant bassist, Dexters role within the band (as bassist) was vital in creating a sense of realism within the video. Dexters room was also a perfect choice in setting of the performance video, as equipment such as an array of electric guitars and a very sizable amp was easily available. The logistical location of being a few minutes walk from our drummer Sam's house meant it was also easy to transfer the drums needed from Sam's to Dexter's for the performance shots. The mise-en-scene of Dexters bedroom of band posters, throws and lighting was also very usefull in filming.
