Green Light For The Red

At first we were going to wear anything we wanted to but then we thought constructively regarding the red filter. We wanted our female actor to stand out and this would be easily achieved by using the red filter and having our subject wear red. We agreed that she would wear red and we wouldn't. We wore dark colours like black, grey, navy, blue and brown. All of these colours would not show up in the filter.

Ayo then came up with a good point that if she wore too much red it would be rather cliched. He felt it would be a better if she wore something iconic and smaller but still red. October was then ordered to wear red lipstick, a red scarf and paint her nails red. The scarf wasn't quite what I expected, it was a checkered white and red scarf showing red less than we wanted. We also wanted to ensure we got close ups of her lipstick and nails.

 
But to talk more in-depth about the actors and why we chose them... We chose October for her style, she's very cool, easy going and was more than willing to film with us. Kashif, we chose him because he fitted our idea perfectly. We was looking for a guy who didn't look like a typical male model and Kashif was a great choice. He wore a blue jacket and a shirt and tie. During the music video Kashif's tie changes colour to red, signifying that he felt closer and more indulged in October. It wasn't something that important but more of an easter egg for our viewers.
