Arranging the Ancillaries

Since I am currently awaiting the opportunity to film, I have begun to prepare my ancillary projects.

Step one was to begin the magazine advertisement.
Unfortunately, the product is still rather bare as it is missing the images that will be added after filming. After trawling through music magazine websites, I decided to use a quote from http://www.altpress.com/, an alternative music magazine. By using this quote, I hope to bring a sense of realism instead of plucking a quote out of thin area. The choice in magazine is based on it being a magazine focused on the same audience as that of Panic at the Disco.

Casting Calamity

With filming scheduled to begin last weekend, the unthinkable happened... one of my actors got sick!
After re-scheduling for this weekend in order to meet the ever-looming deadline, I then received a message on Monday morning stating that my remaining actors would no longer be performing for me and that it would be best if I found someone else.
Needless to say, after getting suitably worried, I then proceeded to call around in search of actors. With a distinct lack of males available on a Saturday and willing to act, my video looks to be reliant on an all female cast, with one female playing the role of a man and my harlot's love will now be cast as a female. This will also serve to subvert social norms within music videos by featuring both heterosexuality and homosexuality and as it is female based, it will contrast the original video wherein the male lead character took a dominant role.

Christmas Creativity

Give nine A2 media students an hour and a half before the Christmas holidays, a video camera, and editing software and the product is this spoof video of The Pogues - Fairytale of New York, a spur-of-the-moment project to finish 2013 on a good note before we get back to work on our own separate videos.
