So we explained our latest idea for the main music video to Luke in the studio in order for him to say the final word, dictating whether we will move forward with the idea or change something in order to make it do-able. We told him our four performance elements which are all of the artist lip-syncing while:
- Walking down a street
- Sitting on a comfy chair
- Laying down on the girl's stomach on the bed
- Walking down the corridor
He told us a good location for the hallway would be one of Hurtwood's boarding houses, Peaselake . The house contains plenty of different hallways that all resemble and remind us of Hotel/Motel hallways. The only problem with this location is that there is a window on the far end of the corridor and the glass would make a reflection of the camera. However this can be easily countered by covering the window with some special sheets for shooting. Luke said he would provide us with these sheets on the shooting day.
He provided us with a bit of feedback saying that we would need to be 100% sure that Hannah (our dancer performer) will be comfortable with doing provocative, seductive dances in front of a camera with many people including men looking at her in little clothing. He told us to go talk to Hannah and try hard to make her feel uncomfortable about the music video, and if she does have second thoughts about it, then great. However if she does have to re-consider it, we would have to tweak our idea a little bit in order for it to work.
He also told us that the person we have in mind (Joe) might not be the best for the main role. Since he does not take A-level Theater Studies nor has he ever done any acting, he might look a bit silly or awkward in front of the camera performing with an attractive girl dancing for him. So Luke told us to think of other possible people that might be able to play this role better and who have a similar kind of look.
The last bit of feedback he provided us with is the fact that it would be hard to shoot the bedroom scene in a Hotel. This is because we had a cheap Motel in Cranleigh in mind for the shoot. The reason why it would be tough is simply due to the fact that while shooting we will need to be repeating the song over and over and over for an extended period of time with a significantly loud volume. Thus it might annoy some other neighboring rooms in the Motel.
