Organising Actors

In our music video we only used one actor, Georgia Royle. We used Georgia as we thought she fitted the image that we wanted to portray, as well as Georgia being part of our group which it made it very convenient and easy to film whenever we needed.




Updated Props List



This is a board on which I made on Pinterest for inspiration for props and our music video. From creating this board i found photos of people in front of projectors which created shadows on their face, i really liked this idea so we introduced it into our music video. We thought it would be effective as it fit in with our genre and added something different to the video.

Todorov's Theory

Todorov produced a theory which he believed to be able to be applied to any film. He believed that all films followed the same narrative pattern. They all went through stages called the equilibrium, disequilibrium, acknowledgement, solving and again equilibrium.


There are five stages the narrative can progress through:
1. A state of equilibrium 
2. A disruption of that order by an event.
3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred.
4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption.
5. A return or restoration of a NEW equilibrium

Record Label Chosen



The research that i have gathered on record labels, I feel that the best record label for our song/artist is Capitol Records as I believe the genre of the song is indie rock and the record label takes various genres as well as indie rock artist.

This record label is also very new in the UK. This is suitable for an upcoming artist like Jasmine Thompson. However, the label is big and well known in the US, so the popularity and the connections will really be to the artists advantage.

This label has signer artists like Tori Kelly, 5SOS and Troye Sivan. Which are all artist which are young and upcoming stars.

Digipack Testers




These are some images that i have been playing around with on Pixlr to see if they are suitable for the digipack. I feel that the first photo is very effective as a front cover, as it creates an edgy vibe to it, i hope to use the idea of the 4 images cut up on the front cover. I also think the last two photos are very effective, i layered photos on top of each other and feeling that that could work either on the magazine advert or aspects of layering photos on the digipack.
