Music Video day 1

Today we have been put in groups of 3 to 5 people and set the task of making a music video for a local artist who has recorded music.
I have been researching many Cambridge artists and bands, I am lucky to know a lot of bands so it would be easier for me getting in contact with these bands and artist.

We created a shortlist of artists that we could potentially film.

My concern on this is getting the bands together as I know a lot of local bands are very unorganized and don't turn up to soundchecks and radio slots when they have been booked.

It would be a lot easier to shoot a solo artist as it would only be one person to shoot for the day.

My shortlist includes:
Lewis Mokler - Acoustic artist from Cambridge, he is very reliable so would be good to shoot but works a lot of the time.

Total Emergency! - Indie Rock band from Cambridge, this is my band so would be easier to film as I could organize the day of recording and have a large range of professionally recorded songs. The con of getting my band is that our guitarist is at UNI but would be able to come home for a weekend and our bass player works until late but is free on Thursdays and Sundays.

Alice Wilkinson - Pop/R&B singer from Cherry Hinton Cambridge, professionally recorded songs and would be reliable as she is a solo singer wanting to make it in music business.

Voilet Bones - Indie rock band, the guitarist used to work at our college so we have contacts with him.

Prince Among Theives - Indie rock band from Cambridge, recently released a music video for one of their songs and are looking to make another. Not sure how reliable this band is at turning up.

Fair and Square - Comedy acoustic band from Cambridge, two of us in my group know the guys in the band but they can be unreliable as when I played a gig with them they didn't turn up to soundcheck. Would be fun and different to create a music video for them as no one else would be creating a video for a comedy band.

The Running Mayfairs - Indie band from Cambridge, some of the guys are at UNI so it would be hard getting them all together to shoot the video but they have experience of being shot in music videos in the past.
