Beginning with test shoots for the role of the artist, 'Isabel Beau' we wanted a more relaxed and confident girl to play the role and feature in the music video. After the test shot and watching the footage back, she had good natural facial expressions and movement along to the song, also a bonus was that she knew the song before hand. We did one whole take with no pauses of her singing the song all the way through and we felt that, Alex was the right new artist. 
After this test shoot the day after we did our first shoot with her in the gallery with her, we set up 2 cameras, 2 tripods and 2 studio lamps for the shoot. Also developing the mise en scene for the artist we changed her costume to having one black but including jewellery and another with a blue top and a necklace. The 2 different cameras gave us different angles from the same take giving us more to work with when editing and matching a real music video.
In addition, after we watched the footage back after the shoot that went very well, her performance was believable and she looked the part. The biggest benefit with Alex being our new artist, is that we could play the whole song and she would be able to mime and act through out in one take without us having to keep stopping. This also saved time with us having to play back the song etc.
