Budget
Below is the first attempt at creating our budget, The budget is an important piece if information in which we will need to contemplate while making the music video and therefore I have created a excel document in which shows us the different costs that will be involved while making the video. I have chosen to use Microsoft excel as this is a programme in which I believe allows me to best share this information. The Miscellaneous tab is purely for the flare and the other props which will need to be brought at a later date. Overall this task has allowed us to create a budget which will allow us to get a guideline upon how much money we will need to spend each when venturing out on these dates. When buying the flare the total price was £12, the contribution per group member was
Doaa:£4
Zacaraia:£4
Jack:£4
Momeena:£0

Actor Release Form
This is the Actor Release Form template. We are planning to use this for our production, we will send it to both of our actors as a form of permission. This document should be sent off today, which means we will get the form back soon. After we get the form back fully completed it will enable us to reassure our filming dates, and start our shooting schedule.

Storyboard
Group work- Final Draft of story board.
This was out final draft of the story board. We collectively discussed that there won’t need to be any additional improvement that we want to make to the storyboard due to putting a lot of time and effort in to it. We assume this is a very strong structure of the storyboard which will allow us to create a very adequate recording schedule as well as enabling us to film the scenes. There could be some improvements that we could possibly make during recording time but that all depends on how the filming goes. The main objective is to record all the shots which are shown below. However that doesn't mean we have to follow the plan and limit ourselves to the minimum as we can record other shots which possibly can help us during the editing process. This would save us a lot of time instead of going back to the locations and redo the shooting parts as we can just use the extra shots we have filmed which are not in the story board.
Additionally, within our storyboard, we have included detailed notes about the shots that we have chosen and their effect. The annotation of each shots are developed even more in the script. We have also made a timeline assisting us as it will tell us when we want our shots to start and finish. This is useful as it would help us a lot in the editing process.

Synopsis
When looking at the beginning of our music vide we intend too create a sense of relatability and humility.The actor is going to be seen holding a polaroid picture over the canal of a young female. This female will remain a mystery throughout the video however we will imply the female means allot to the actor as the joinery will be long and exaggerated to try and find her.
During the entirety of the music video we are planning to empathises the journey in which the main actor is embarking upon. The actor will be shown searching for the female in the picture. The narrative will remain the same throughout the music video however we will show a more sporadic and desperate male as the storyline progresses. This will allow the audience to gain respect for the actor as the music video continues. Various different transportation systems will be used such as buses and roller-skates, this is to show the many obstacles the actor will overcome to find love.
The ending of the song will present the male's struggles and journeys are all worth it as he will eventually find the girl. The female will be sitting fond on a park bench representing natural beauty due to the greenery environment of the park. The whole music video will come to an end with the two walking away together after a long struggle road to finding each other

Costumes for actors
In this task, I have produced images of the type of style and clothing the actors within our music video will wear. We have decided on these clothing because through our research on dance music videos we have noticed that this style is a convention and represents this genre of music. Not only that, but this is the current trend that appeals to our target audience allowing them to interact and have a better connection with the actors. To conclude, we done this task as it helps us have a wider understanding and idea of how the overall costume will look and ensure we haven't missed out anything that we will need to get when it comes to shooting.
Location Release Form
I have created this Location Release Form, we decided to do this as it will enable us to gain permission for transport filming such as inside the bus. this will be important as we have mentioned previously in our research, in order to re-ensure safe environment. We are planning to film during off-peak hours this is so we avoid large crowds, as this may result in various risks. In addition, we are planning to ask for the permission shortly this week, which will enable us to have time to plan the shooting schedule and make confident decisions about dates of filming. Not only that, but this will surely benefit our time management.

Artsist analysis/ cast notes
Artist Analysis/ Cast Notes
The following will display our final chosen actors for our Electronic dance music video. Within this section I will I will provide different facts about each actor and why we have chosen her to play each specific role in our music video. We have final decided to go within having two actors a male and a female, this is because it will be most suitable to helps us get our story and song across. It will also enabled the audience to interact and engage with the video.
Characteristics/ why we chose them as our actors: Ahmed and Hannah are teenagers who quickly take on new styles and trends. Hannah is interested in current fashion trends which she follows and regularly updates. Whereas Ahmed is interested in drama and film production. this helps us in terms of acting as we wouldn't need to direct him frequently and will know how to play the role correctly. They are both live a 'typical' teenage lifestyle. In addition, they both have very similar characteristics and this is why we choose them. They are fun to be around and provide positive influence to the people around them. It is their nature to be "young, wild & free", making them very adventurous and spontaneous. So for that reason we have chosen them to play the role within the music video. However, we have chosen Ahmed to be our main actor within the music video, this is because he is a male which represents the singer a lot more. Overall, by choosing these two characters to join our crew has ensured our filming will go as planned because they are well organised and good to work with as they are good listeners. Furthermore, both of our actors are very photogenic and have previous experiences in such projects. Due to their experiences our group will have a better advantage in sticking to the specified time and produce effective footage in order to produce and successful and appropriate Electronic Dance music video.
