Looking
for an actress to star in our music video was easy. Our good friend Lateshia is
a drama student who is going to university to pursue it as a career. We talked
her through the general story of the video and she is happy to be a part of it
as it will give her some experience at taking direction. With our actress now confirmed
we are working together to pick a date in which to start filming.

Audience feedback: Creating Facebook
We learnt from last year
that audience feedback is very valuable, therefore we decided to create a
Facebook page for our A2 project. To ensure the feedback would be relevant to our music video we
invited people similar to our target audience. As of present we have 16 likes, we will be updating our page regularly
sharing our progress.
Facebook is used by millions of people; as you can see in the graph to the left the majority of Facebook users are in the age bracket of 18-25 which makes it a good platform to reach our target audience.
