Casting

Considerations

• When choosing who would be appropriate to take part in our music video we had to take into consideration many factors such as the audience research, we found that they were open to using any ethnicities or gender, which was convenient as we will be using both genders.

• We also had to take into consideration people who would be able to give their own time to help us film and also individuals who were good actors.

What Characters we need…

• The main character (preferably a girl)

• Boyfriend of main character

• Friends of main character

• Dinner Lady

• School Children

• Main characters employer

Louise O’Loughlin

• Louise will play the protagonist in

our music video, this is convenient

because she did GCSE Drama and is

good at acting. The fact that she is

part of our media group means that

she can dedicate all her time to

filming. We also considered using

Priya Banwara for our music video

however she lacked confidence when

in front of the camera and this

wouldn't’t be suitable because it

wouldn't’t look realistic and

therefore our music video wouldn’t

be taken seriously. We decided that

our protagonist will wear plain

casual clothes which will contrast

nicely with the plain music.

Shakeel Mirza

• Shakeel will be playing the love interest to

our protagonist. We thought that Shakeel

would be ideal for this role because he is

doing media studies too and he would able to

dedicate his own time to help us. We also

acknowledged the fact that Shakeel played a

role in a thriller opening and he did a good

job acting. At first we thought that Shakeel

wouldn't’t have time because he had to

dedicate his own time to his own media video,

however after discussing it with my group and

Shakeel we decided it would be the easiest

option as he would only be needed for two

scenes and he said that it would be fine. The

fact that Shakeel was part of our focus group

helped because he contributed some of his own

ideas and would understand what would be

happening in our music video.

Extra

• We have decided that the friends of the

protagonists will be played by Rumaysa Baig,

Pooja Kandwagja, Gamze Kaya and also Sobia

Jawaid.

• We have considered using Gamze and me to play

the dinner ladies and Karuhn Nahar for the

main head Chef.
