Planning: Casting

Within my final product I am aiming to film some choreographed sections which will feature in different parts of the music video (main chorus' and a few verses) both professional and non clips will be used. I wanted to feature choreography because not only is it a unique concept used in music videos but also creates a better visual for the audience to follow and to be entertained by as every dance is unique in style and choreography.
The mind map underneath portrays the general outfit and atheistic I want the dancer to be featured wearing in the dancing part of my music video. The clothes fit a hip-hop/ modern style which  correlates with the style/ genre of 'Beautiful People' by Chris Brown.
One of my other ideas for the music video is to follow a linear storyline, there is no need for casting in this part of the music video, as even though there will be organised trips to film this section of the music video, the amount of people (one a group and the other less then two people to make more personal clips) will vary. Although I will have to have a sheet signed to show that I have their permission to want to be featured in my music video, the specific gender or amount of people or what they have to wear isn't specific as everything is meant to look as natural as possible and not staged.

Depending on where I might film and the people featured in the clips their clothing appearance/ dress will differ from other clips and what other people in the clips will wear. The individuality and variety of clothing and fashion is something that I also want to capture in my filming because it is a way of someone to express themselves, both their inner and outer beauty which ties in with the theme of the song.
