Actors



Anthony - Lead Singer
We chose Anthony to be the lead singer in our band because he fits the Indie look very well. His appearance and clothing fitted well with the genre and meant we didn't need to change any part of his look. He is also confident infront of the camera so we didn't have to worry about him being nervous when acting and singing. Another reason is, Anthony is young so is also part of the target audience, he will also be found attractive by the target audience and this will make them more interested in the video.








Alice - Keyboard Player
We chose Alice to be keyboardist in our band, we thought having a female band member would help to broaden the audiences that would watch our video. Like Anthony she has a very Indie look so we didn't have to change her appearance to fit with the genre. Another reason is that she would be found appealing to the male target audience for this genre. Also girls would find seeing a female in the band very reassuring if this is something they might want to do but feel they cant.

Permission For Filming

When deciding what dates to film and when would wok best for everyone we had to discuss with our teacher to get a day out of school, as this would give us the best opportunity to get all the filming done. As our location was outside of school and we would need a whole day off we had to email our media teacher so she could check with the school and the teachers of the lessons we would be missing. These emails below show us gaining the permission we need to get the day for filming:

We are unable to show the replies from our teacher as she spoke to the other teachers that needed to know and then spoke to us in class to make sure it was all arranged and we knew what was going on.

Storyboard

Actors

Cameron Skinner - The Main Male Character
We chose Cameron to play the main role in our music video as he fitted many of the requirements that would appeal to our target audience. As he is 19 years old he is a similar age to our target audience, this attracts audiences to our video as they will be around the same age as him and can relate with what is going on in his life. His style suits our Indie genre that we are working with, as he has the right fashion and look. This means people watching the video that are in our target audience will either look up to him if they are male or find him attractive if they are a young female.


Kay Seary - The Main Female Actress
We chose Kay to play the role of the main male's lost love in the video. She suits our Indie genre video and she is also aged 19. Her look also fits the genre as she is attractive and has the right fashion to attract our target audience. Like the male she would be found attractive by young girls and they may want to be like/look like her and boys would find her attractive and aim to be with someone like her.



Another reason we chose these actors to work together was because they are actually in a relationship in real life. This made the parts of them acting together and being close a lot easier as they were already comfortable with each other and able to make the relationship look more realistic to our target audience.
