Cast

Potential cast members
 I wanted my music video to feature a girl with the look of pop-punk (or someone that I could make look pop-punk) and these are the girls that I considered featuring i my music video.
I asked the following questions to find out whether they were right for the part or not:

1. Name
2. Age
3. Do you have any acting experience?
4. If the answer to the last question was yes, what was it?
5. Does their look fit the genre well/could it?
6. How many subjects do you study?
7. Do you have a job?

I asked the age of them as I I want a teenage girl that looks appropriate wandering around by herself and old enough to have a relationship, therefore I though the appropriate age was 17-19.

I asked whether or not they have acting experience as that is what they would be doing in the music video. Also I need someone who is confident and follows direction well.

I asked what the acting experience was so that I could see whether or not they would be capable of doing something like this.

I wanted to see whether their look fits the genre or whether or not I could make them look like it does so that it is evident in my music video and expresses my aim of the music video and the genre of the song well.

I asked how many subjects they study and whether they have a job so that I could see whether or not they would have enough free spare time to film the music video but also to ensure that I would not interrupt their studying.

Amelie has the correct look and age of the way I want my cast member to be, however she does 4 subjects and has a job therefore she will have less free time. She also has no acting experience so I wouldn't know how she would act in front of a camera.

 

 Charlotte has the correct look, age and acting experience which are the main priorities whilst I'm choosing my cast, however she does have a job which I wouldn't want to interfere with.

Eloise is one of the cast members who least fits the criteria as she has no acting experience, however she is confident and she studies less subjects than Amelie.

Katie is also not the best match to my criteria as she is only 16, even though she has acting experience I feel that her look isn't very pop-punk.

The person I chose in the end was Charlotte Skipsey as she meets the criteria of what I want in my music video. Also her acting experience will make it a lot easier to film as she will be confident whilst performing.
