Regarding my test shots of Louise being "dead", my Media teacher has commented on my post about it and has given me a suggestion:

One of the things to try and do is to minimise her interaction with the environment. In particular, try to stay away from reflective surfaces (or shoot in such a way as we never see her reflection. I would also suggest grading the image in such a way as to make Louise's bits seem a little "washed out", to emphasise the mysterious nature of the character.
From reading this comment, I have decided that in my music video Louise will have minimal contact with the environment around her to, like Sir said, 'emphasise the mysterious nature of the character'. I will also be sure to stay away from reflective surfaces such as windows or puddles. I will also experiment with the colouring of the video to make it seem more low-key, and to make Louise look more washed out and ghost-like.
The things that I made Louise do in the test shots (such as putting money in a vending machine, or walking through a door) will not feature in my music video; I merely did these shots to test out whether the idea of Louise being invisible to the world around her would be effective. In my opinion, I believe it was extremely effective and will definitely have the supernatural element feature in my music video.

You really ought to shoot some test footage to make sure that this is going to work... I'm also yet to see much evidence of planning (storyboards, a script for the video, shot-lists etc.) - these should be a priority since without them it is unlikely that your blog will achieve marks beyond L2.
