Roles

Kayleigh Hobbs
Kayleigh will be performing in the video as our soul artist. This means that her main role within the video will be to learn the lyrics to our song, practice her performance and any dance moves. Kayleigh will be first in line to source any costume where possible, although Myself and Cameron will help where needed as we have already discussed buying some accessories such as tattoos which we will all pitch in for. As well as this, to develop practical skills she will have the opportunity to set up and film some shots despite being the main artist and also engage heavily in post production.

Cameron Roberts
Cameron will be involved in filming and post production along with Kayleigh and I. As well as this, Cameron will be in charge of casting actors into our music video which is very important due to the fact we want to use around 4/5 male dancers and 2/3 female backing singers so the casting of more actors is a really essential role. Cameron will also be sourcing props such as instruments (perhaps alongside Kayleigh and I to aid him in finding certain items cost-effectively).

Katie Lee (me)

I will be assuming the roles of cinematographer and editing in post production along with Cameron and Kayleigh. However, I will also be taking on the role of Locations manager, I will be ensuring we have appropriate permission to use locations and contacting owners of bars etc in order to use their location and collecting permission. As well as this I will be the make-up artist and hair stylist to Kayleigh, I'll spend time practising styles and ensuring that the image that we create meets the conventions of the soul genre. I've also been seeking technical help with lighting in my spare time in order to apply this knowledge to the lighting we use in our music video as it's a really important element, particularly to a soul music video.
