Week 5: Filming Part 2 - OLD PEOPLE DAY!

After the commitment and loyality issues were tested by our friends during our first part of filming, we decided to take drastic action. Influenced by The Hit-ups use of social networking, we decided to make our own event on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events.php?archive=1&s=80&hash=3df2df1d0773097990eac4bbc9c09a54#/event.php?eid=329943375416&index=1archive=1&s=80&hash=3df2df1d0773097990eac4bbc9c09a54#/event.php?eid=329943375416&index=1

We also contacted a well known dancer in Bristol called "Frankie J", he's about our age and is a phenominal dancer. I emailed him via facebook. One of our friends has PROMISED to turn up to the event as she is another main character in the music video. We want to insinuate that she is an 'old flame' from the past. This creates an instant link between her and the protagonist.

We called the event: Old People Day



We invited hundreds of our friends, we thought that the more people we invited, the more people were likely to participate in our filming. We needed our friends to dress up as an elderly people for the duration of the filming process.

"Wanna be on MTV???Heres your chance; We're making a media music video with Bristols best 'The Hit Ups': myspace.com/thehitupsWhat we need you to do is dress up as your grandparents :), we mean, grey hair, granny jumpers, walking sticks, glasses, shawls, ankle socks, the lot!!!We're meeting outside Sixthform at 3.30 and will go on to brandon hill from there! We really need your help, and it will be a really fun day :):)Get back to me as sooooon as if you can make it!Much love, Sidonie, Yero and Becky xox"
We included the Hit-ups myspace url (myspace.com/thehitups) as it has their music on it. We wanted the people we invited to the event, to be able to listen to their music. In pink, we highlighted the guestlist (might attend, not attending, and awaiting reply) and cofirmed. Even after inviting over 200 people, only 13 people said they were confirming. If you were to take out the three of us that said we were attending (Becky, Sidonie and I), only 10 people would be turning up!
