Casting Ideas (Preliminary Task)

To cast our main character (a young boy dressed as a superhero) we all had a very clear idea of the type of actor we wanted. We wanted someone who was very cheeky and confident and that they could carry this over on camera. We very soon found two candidates who we though fitted this role very well. The two actors we casted for the role are:

Toby Cooke - We felt Toby would be a good actor to cast for our main role as he was very cheeky and very confident. He is a very typical young boy and exactly what we were looking for.

Reef Allen - Like Toby, Reef was extremely cheeky and confident and had a large imagination. As we wanted our character to be a very typical adventurous young boy, we felt that Reef also fitted this very well.

Existing Student Music Video

This video features numerous different editing skills and camera shots throughout the video, the wide range is something I want to echo in my video, however I found the lack of obvious narrative frustrating as it lacked meaning. By following the one character through the video is easily to follow through the simplistic idea which was executed well through the smooth editing skills.

Actors

This is Ruth, Freddie and Chris. I asked these to film because I wanted it to look like a young family and I was positive they would be willing to help out. I am hoping that their connection to each other will come through on camera. This is John and Harry they are brothers and have kindly agreed to be in the music video. As with the family I want there connection as brothers to come through in the footage. There's is a big age gap in there and I would like the influence of the older brother to be obvious when I film, so he comes across as a role model. Josie acted as Becky Hill the featured singer on the song. The setting was a recording studio were Josie lip synced the song, with the recording microphone and stand I managed to get as a prop.
