Additional Information about our Production

• Our group are currently in debate as to whether or not we need a prosthetics company to help with the make up. We would need them when doing the make up of the various creatures who play the bad emotions experienced in the relationship. There are other sources that we could use as help towards the make up however the prosthetics company specialise in creating looks consisting of scars, bruising and other minor injuires. We want the creatures to look like they have been damaged which links to the breakdown in the singer's relationship as he is left feeling damaged. However, by using the prosthetics company it all adds up to the budget so in other words we are worried as to how much our budget can stretch in order to finance the prosthetics.
• We are also debating whether we should shoot the video in colour or in black and white. At the moment we feel it would be effective in black and white as it would suit the mood of the song. It is a depressing and uncolourful song so we thought black and white would work well. If the video was shot in colour it might contrast to what the song initially intends to do, being that it is a song about unhappiness and how the singer has lost the "colour" from his relationship
• The costumes are still being discussed as we are not sure whether to have the main singer looking more like a cowboy as the song is also of country/ western genre, or to have the singer dressed in clothes that would widely be recognised by most today. The stereotypical image of jeans, hoodie, t shirt and trainers, something most viewers would recognise on the street and not think of as an odd combination. The creatures will be in torn articles of black clothing. The black to link to the title of the song "Black Heart" and the ripped clothes to show how they have been uncared for and the lack of respect for them. Furthermore this shows how the singer feels, uncared for and been abandoned.
