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.

Final Plot Ideas (Preliminary Task)

This is our final plot ideas: The main character (a young boy) puts on his superhero mask and runs into his garden to get into his tent/den. The tent then transports him into another woodland world in which there will be others all dancing. In the middle of all the dancing and partying in the new forest the young boy will trip up/fall over in some way and as he hits the floor he will be transported back to his garden and outside the tent/den.  The boy will then realise he's back home and may be greeted by his mother asking wheres he been (that scene will be dependant on availability of actors). We tried to keep our idea as simplistic as possible, this was to ensure that we didn't over complicate the meaning of the video which is simply just about the young boy enjoying himself in his own imagination when he has the safety of his superhero costume on.

Questionnaire

After publishing my rough cut I made a short questionnaire to get some constructive criticism to use to make changes before submitting my final cut.  I got really good feedback from my questionnaire about my rough cut. There was mostly 3s and 4s for how well people understood the narrative. I was quite happy with this because the video isn't suppose to show the whole narrative but it's aim is to introduce the characters. My target audience felt that the video strongly fitted with the song, with most people voted a 4 or 5. I'm really happy with this and it means I have been able to recreate the emotion of the song in the video. Most people said they liked the way I cross cut between the two characters and the variation of shots. The general consensus was there was something missing from the video, a couple of people suggested a third element of artist performance that could link the singer to the audience; I really liked this idea and decided to look into it further. ...
