Locations

Today we explored possible locations that would be the most beneficial to us in reflecting the indie genre.
We pondered over interior and exterior locations; deciding that a small 'student-style' house would be better than an Americanised mansion; that we could include reference to the magical film 'Narnia', where party-goers enter into a wardrobe (or telephone box/photobooth - to modernise it), and exit(maybe, into a lantern-lit field) with their new costume; and we also pondered over the idea of filming a group of party-goers arriving on the train.
We felt that the smaller, messier, 'student-style' house would: create a feeling of a packed-out party even if we only have a handful of people, as the rooms are smaller; that it was more likely for somebody to allow us to use their house if it was not decorated beautifully and precious to them, etc; the appearance would conform to the genre as it is a place that young people could relate to - for the reasons that it could be any of their houses and so the party would be attainable, unlike if they watched stereotypical American parties at (unattainable) mansions.

Cast
Our target audience is the younger generation, from ages 14-24.
14, because this is when the people in our production team began partying; and 24, because this is the age when young people generally finish university, and thus partying.
We have an idea to cast a very young boy as the main character. "Rock This Party" by Bob Sinclair was a successful video for this reason.

Effect

• Slightly saturated
• "Cool", like it could be in Nylon magazine
• a bit gritty
• Skins -esque

Editing

Jerky editing - sticcato


Outfits

Just fancy dress.
Song is reminiscent of the 80s - could we ask people to wear 80s style costumes?
