We have emailed and spoke to our cast asking them to provide any 1950’s style attire that they might have. Kizzy and I also plan to go to Primark and various charity shops to buy any clothes we can to ensure the mis en scene is as correct as possible. Kizzy has also arranged for a friend in a Performing Arts College to help with hair and makeup, I have asked members of the Dance Department in our school to help choreograph any dance sequences and also to feature in the video.

Locations:

The main narrative of the video will be shot in the school theatre as we will have access to the instruments that we need for the video. Also we want the video to feel as if the crowd has gone to a concert of the bands, this will be created by the fact that the band will be onstage.

The potential locations for our side narrative are All Stars Bowling Alley in Brick Lane as they have a 1950’s style dinner within the establishment, we are also considering shooting in a local American Diner and putting to use the green screen we have in the school.
