MV Planning: Casting

Young Couple Casting

Name:  Ashley
Age: 17

Ashley was very confident when lip-syncing and was a definite choice for my music video. Unfortunately, his look and style did not suit the artist's style as much therefore, not meeting the theme of the video.

Name: Brandon
Age: 16

Brandon had a little trouble with the lip-syncing but once he had become more comfortable with the lyrics and had more of an understanding of how to portray the artist's characteristics and style, he became much more confident and is a definite choice for my music video. Brandon had also prepared some of the lyrics from the music video song, as well as his own song choice.

Name: Sam
Age: 17

Sam was very confident and comfortable when lip-syncing. However, again I didn't feel his audition met the standards of the artist and not meeting the theme of the music video.

Name: Loris
Age: 17

Loris has a very enthusiastic personality and very confident when it came to her audition. Her style was great and she gave off a positive atmosphere. Unfortunately, due to Loris being so busy with her school work and part-time job, she is unable to be in the video.








Name: Olivia
Age: 17

Olivia's personality was very down to earth and happy. Her confidence in front of a camera was excellent and she was not afraid to do anything asked of her; she was straight on task. Olivia's style suits the video well, as I imagined the girl to be out-going however, still having that tight romantic relationship with the artist. I was very happy with her audition.




Cast:
I have decided to use Brandon and Olivia in my music video as they stood out to me most and both suit the roles well.

Old Couple Casting

For the last scene of my Music Video I will be using Sue and Alex as I know them well and have experience of performance in the past. I have decided not to do a casting video with them due to them only having to stand and smile for one shot.
