Role Allocation

Narrative Creators: Laura Sheasby, Faye Slater
Director: Laura Sheasby
Editor: Faye Slater
Producers: Laura Sheasby, Faye Slater
Camera Person: Laura Sheasby
Cast Members: Faye Slater, Harmesh Kalair


Me and Faye as team had discussions on who would do what in the production of the music video. We wanted to keep it to a small group of people as we knew the bigger the group the more hassle and the higher the chance of people letting us down or messing something up. We included people who would be reliable. 

From our experience with last year’s production we decided to let Faye be the editor, as she was better at editing than I was and that I would be the director as that was more my area of strength. Both of us worked on the pitch for our music video and therefore the storyline to the video was so a team effort. Also it was produced by us two.  

We decided on Faye being part of the cast as she like performing in front of the camera as well as working off camera (in the form of editing), whilst I did not wish to be on camera as I am more of a behind the scenes type of person and as I was director and person working the camera, I wouldn’t have realistically been able to be on camera. Also, Faye would be a member of the cast due to knowing she would actually turn up for the shooting as it was her production too. Our close friend Harmesh Kalair was chosen to be the boyfriend in the video as we could also rely on him and he has an acting background which would be extremely handy. Alongside the fact he offered ethnic diversity.
