Younger PCD
From our sample video we had the idea suggested to use younger girls as the younger version of the PCD in our video. From this we now need to audition and cast these younger girls. To increase verisimilitude we want these 5 girls to look as similar to the older girls as possible. To do this we have asked the drama department and we are putting up posters around school for year 7 and 8 girls (roughly 12 - 14 year olds) to come and audition. We have also been brainstorming what the younger girls will wear and their appearance. We plan to get footage of them applying make up badly and have their hair in quite a child like way, e.g plaits.
Set Ups
From feedback we realised we have to come up with a lot more set ups so we have plenty of footage to work with, even if we don't end up using it all. One idea we are interested by is the younger girls shopping maybe in a charity shop.
Colour Association
Across both the younger and older girls we have decided that each of them should be recognisable by a certain colour throughout. The Saturdays and Atomic Kitten are just a couple of the many girl bands that do this and we think it looks really effective and will nicely bring the narrative together.
Mise-en-scene
As the girls are revisiting their childhood we need to take into account the mise-en-scene of the time when they were little. For example, we will need to set dress with older technology and boy band posters for it to be accurate to the time.
We are also going to try and get hold of a red carpet to use to anchor the girls fame further.
