Cast List and Shooting Schedule

When planning my video, I intended to use an actor and actress to portray a couple in my music video. The trouble with this was finding a male actor, so I instead re-thought my idea for my video and decided on using only my actress, Levi.
I have chosen to use Levi as my main character as she has dark hair and eyes and very pale skin, which is a lovely contrast that I think will look very effective on screen. At this point in my thought process, I also want to shoot my video in black and white to symbolise memories and emptiness, and I think Levi's look will benefit from this colour scheme. Another reason I have chosen Levi as my main and only character is the fact that she is a very close friend of mine and will not let me down, and is willing to shoot all the scenes involved without issues.

Due to the fact that I couldn't get a male actor for my video, I changed my idea of my video, from a broken-up couple's story, to the story of a girl who's boyfriend has recently died, however I want to lead the audience into thinking that the girl has broken up with her boyfriend, until the end where it is made clear he has died instead.
