PLANNING: Props

Planning props
For this shoot we needed minimal props, however each scene had a few to help the mise-en-scene. 
Warehouse:
100x Tea lights (bought from tescos) and matches (these helped the shrine scene to look more realistic)
Printed pictures of the band (printed in local supermarket and to make the shrine scene look more realistic)
3x masks (hand made)
Lights (for lighting the set, brought from home and borrowed from a friend)
3x chairs (brought from home, we chose these chairs as they looked old and plain which fitted with the run down look we were going for)
Travelling shots:
2xCar (the band brought one and we brought the other)
Cafe scene:
Cups of tea for all cast (provided by cafe)
Bands instruments (provided and brought by band)

PLANNING: Casting cafe scene

Casting
As sly antics came to us via the social media platform twitter we didn't need to do much casting as we would centre the band in our video. 
Cafe scene
To fit our idea of having a scene centring a cafe full of older people we need to get at least 10 elderly cast members. Firstly we went to the centre for the elderly in Ilkley to ask if anyone would be willing however as our filming fell later on in the day it wasn't possible. 

So then Mr Burrows suggested some of his neighbours, who worked at a home for the elderly, would be able to help so they were contacted but due to late notice and one neighbour being on holiday this also didn't go ahead. So I then started asking my own neighbours if they would be willing to help out and even though many said they couldn't enough people said that they could. We asked them to be at the Outside the box cafe for 4. 

PLANNING LOCATION: cafe scene

Cafe location

I have located Outside the box cafe in Ilkley to shoot the cafe scene in which the band will perform to an elderly and unresponsive audience. This will hopefully create an unrealistic and strange feeling to the video. The interior is unique and jazzy this will re enforce the alternative theme of the video. 

To do this I went to the cafe and enquired about a free space
