Holiday Findings and Monday's Meeting

oh god how embarassing (the s club video i mean!) oh well, at least ours won't have any tacky gingham shirts in it (ahem jon).

Oh an by the way, who is karina in our possible actresses list? i think i missed that one...

Well, first up we have our star Golnessa Motazedi...

She's agreed to be in the vid and is up for filming etc etc. She definately looks the part as a spanish/latino sexy mama who all the guys want.

In barbados me and Gee visited the Crop Over festival where there were hundreds of people dressed up in sequined bikinis with huge hats and crazy jewels, arms bands and belts. They were pretty crazy and drunk and rather explict at times, but i took some footage anyway which could be useful as out-takes for our video if we do stick with the carnival theme. We also brought back 2 hats which are huge and bright - one is blue with huge feathers coming out of the top and the other is gold with one long orange feather hanging down the back. We can get hold of a load more from the year below and the PE department.

Monday's Meeting

In mondays meeting we discussed what we've acheived over the summer (all of which has been posted) and began to share and decide upon some real shot and sequence ideas.

• We'd still like to open with the girls getting ready, the shots would be punchy, dramatic and colourful. Goli's costume would be covered by Nina's silk dressing gown, which she'll then fling off to show us her sexay costume.
• We'd then have a series of travelling shots which could be broken up by glimpses of the bar and the party (like snapshots and close-ups). The girls are travelling on buses, running through the streets, laughing, having fun.
• When they arrive at Mercado we will use shots similar to the 'Filthy Gorgeous' video by the scissor sisters, POV shots of Goli's entrance, ver crowded, everyone staring at her, moving out the way.
• In mercado we've decided on some very specific shots: barmen making cocktails, people doing shots, champagne bottle popping, glasses being filled up. We'd also like to use sparklers at some point but that might be with the girls outside, we'd have to test that. We need to have lots of dancing to create a lively party ambience, but the dancing can't look stilted or forced people have to actually be enjoying themselves! we can also have some choreographed moves, all of us dancing behind goli, then we leave her and she dances on her own for a bit everyone watching, she could get up on the bar and then everyone starts dancing again? We could also have a couple of Ricky Martin dancing shots with the girls and boys paired up doing spins and stuff

And that's all for now folks...
