WORKSHOP - ADVANCE PREPARATION

1. Watch the video - remake section only - lots of times to get a feel for it

2. Think about the part you would like to play in the video. If you want a main role, PRACTICE in front of the mirror!! You will need to audition if lots of people want the role, so make sure you know your part. Available lead roles are:

Lead singer
Bass guitarist
Drummer
Bongo player
Male lead character - Paul/geek
Female lead character - Dora/love interest

MINOR ROLES ARE:
Jocks x 3 in the corridor
Students doing the Loser sign in corridor x 2
Student who bumps into Paul x 1
Tambourine player in crowd x 1
Dancing girl x 1

Anyone not playing a lead or minor role, will be extras - dancing in the background in performance shots and as passing characters in the corridor and external scenes

3. Regardless of the role you would like, try and learn the lyrics and get a feel for how you would lip synch them/ direct someone else to do it well

4. Try and get a feel for the shots and how you would shoot them, where you would place your camera etc

6. Think about what costumes and props you could contribute, bring them in advance or on the day and leave them in the props box. It's the little details that really matter.

7. Get plenty of sleep the night before, so you will be full of energy for a long day of MEDIA!!
