Potential Actors

For our music video, with considering potential actors, we have decided to use the band as we want to create a narrative, conceptual video where we can involve the band to also add a creative performance element as well.

Our first decision was to use the lead singer to be a part of the video which would have been Tia Avey - who has an alternative style which would be an advantage to our music video. However due to complications she was unable to perform for the music video.






Another actor we had looked at to star in our video was Kate Sweatman, who had a similar alternative style, mostly seen with her her 'half and half' dyed hair style but due to time schedules and her being unable to learnt he song she was unfit for the video.

 

Finally, due to scheduling, we decided to use myself for the video due to being apart of the production group and a potential actor for the music video. The other member of my group, Chloe, practiced taking some screenshots and discovered they had the desired effect that we needed and it was also a positive that I knew the song also. 

Similarly to with Kate, I took some screen test shots of Holly and found that they gave the desired effect. However, these screen test shots were taken in a more natural environment rather than in front of a  white background and I found this to be beneficial in the sense that it allowed us to view Holly's presence in front of the camera as she would appear in the actual music video. 
As Holly is also heavily involved in the production side of the music video she will be available to film on every date proposed. This enables us as a group to be more flexible and stable in our filming dates, therefore meaning more attention can go into the smaller details of the music video rather than the overall organisation of the placement of actors.
