Planning: Casting for music video

To be able to make sure that i get the best grades for my music video, not only do i have to plan all the different camera aspects such as shots and movements, I have to make sure that I have a good casting which will guide my music video to a higher grade. If i didn't have a good cast then my music video will look poor quality and roughly planned so planning who will screen in my music video is incredibly important.

I have lined up 3 different characters which will battle for the place in acting in my music video. Below are the 3 individuals I have planned to contend to play the only part in my music video.

Jordan Bignell

I have had previous experience with working with Jordan from last years coursework piece where i had  to make a horror intro. Through this work i had understood that Jordan is able to sufficiently act and show emotion and expression which was needed. I have chosen Jordan for my music video because of these attributes and we also are friends meaning communicating and working with each other will be much easier.

Deet Bains

Again, myself and Deet were partners in last years media coursework where we spent every lesson working with each other planning our horror film intro. i know that Deet is keen in acting and the different aspects of media studies so I had asked him whether he was eligible to act and he had agreed. Deet however doesn't have any acting experience meaning I may have to consider whether he'll play the character.

Taylor Wilson

Taylor currently studies A Level Drama which could be a bonus to my music video. Taylor is the only act out of the 3 chosen that actually study Drama which makes him stand out from over the rest. However I have not yet been able to work with Taylor and I understand that some days he may find difficult to be able to film.

Final verdict

The character I have chosen to cast in my music video is Jordan Bignell. What made him stand out from the rest was our experience with working with each other, because of this bond, I understand his strengths and weaknesses which will make it much easier to film. I also understand his ability in acting and I'm sure that this can only benefit my music video grade.
