Possible Main Characters

Looking through possible characters we could use for the music video, we have annotated them to their genre. We are looking for someone to show good characterisation with good dramatic skills which will enable him to laugh, smile, cry, upset and be angry. This involves a lot of work in order for the music video to look good and realistic, so we decided to narrow it down to 4 people we could use, before choosing the final male character. Below, shows 4 main people we have chosen to take part in the video, but we need to choose ONE.

Male Characters
The first person displayed on the slide show is Charlie. We decided he could be a possible feature to be used as the main character as not only does his dress sense fit the brief we are looking for, but he can make all the filming times and sets possible when we need him. This is a large advantage and we think he will be a good candidate. Looking at the clothes that Charlie is currently wearing in the photograph, we feel that this could be one of the possible clothing outfits we will ask him to wear for part of the filming. The only problem with Charlie is that he has not tried to create or produce a music video beforehand, but other than that we feel that Charlie is a suitable and a strong candidate to use for our filming for our music video.




The second person we asked was Sam. Sam also fits the brief and we are keen for him to take the part. This is because he has done drama in previous years so we feel he will be good for the dramatic skills and techniques that we are looking for. The look of Sam that is shown in the photograph shows his dress sense and this could be one of the outfits we ask him to wear for the music video. Sam is also available for all the times and days we need him to film. Sam has the build and height that we are looking for, as well as the confidence to perform well in front of the camera when filming. This means that Sam will be a strong candidate for filming in our music video if he is chosen.


Thirdly, we have chosen Luke to be part of the search for our main male character. This is because he has a strong build which is the type we are looking for. He also has a fresh kind of look and fits in with the genre we are looking for. Luke is a good candidate but the only disadvantage would be that because of Luke's job, he may not be as flexible as the others with the filming hours, which could cause a inconvenience for when we need to film at London, as this would start from early in the morning to late at night to ensure we get all the daylight hours to film. Because of this, I feel it would be too much hard work and complicated times and days if we asked Luke to become our main character for filming, rather than someone that is flexible out of our other 3 candidates.





The final candidate we have chosen to look at is Josh. Josh said he is happy to be in the music video but can be quite shy at times, which we wonder will cause trouble when filming the happy memories between himself and a female actor. On the other hand, Josh is very flexible with times and has the dress sense that will help us move forward for the music video, as he fits the genre.However, with Josh being a shy character, we do not feel he would be suitable as he will not be as confident as the other candidates.



Female Characters
Megan is our first contender for a female character part. She is a close friend of both myself and Emma and we feel she would be good playing the part of the female character, or the ex-girlfriend. This is because we feel that she is able to shoot scenes within the music video that involve emotions like upset, hurt, anger and love. However, due to Megan's commitment issues towards her school work and her work, she is unable to film the times we need her to.



I have been chosen to be the second possibility for the female main character. This is because I will be available for filming. However, i do not think i would be able to perform the scenes well and because there are only myself and Emma in a group, i think it would be hard to make Emma do all of the filming alone, so I think we need to choose someone who is not involved within our group.
