Character Profiles:
Reasoning for choosing these actors:
- Protagonist: Charlie Woolf
- For the main protagonist we have specifically chosen Charlie because he is confident in front of the camera. Although, his face may not be seen due to the mask, we still feel as though it is important that the actor feels comfortable being films. In addition to this we feel as though because of the mask, body language may need to be exaggerated to show emotion. This is something Charlie will be able to accomplish to a high standard because of his experience performing in drama plays.
- Female character: Beth Davies
- For the female character we have chosen Beth Davies. This is because she is comfortable being filmed due to previous experience with modelling for photography students. Although she hasn't had any experience acting, because of the mask she wears and the fact that she isn't the main character we feel as though this may not be as noticeable. As well as being a suitable advocate in terms of her confidence she also provides our video with ethnic diversity which we may be able to link to various media theorists and theories. In addition to this, Charlie and Beth know each other outside of filming meaning that they will give a convincing performance in terms of their relationship.
- Performing artist: Sam Grotzke
- We chose Sam Grotzke mainly because his look fits the alternative genre of our song. He owns lots of clothing which would be suitable for the performing artists costume and is willing to wear it for the role. In addition to this he already knows the song and likes the band meaning he will be able to lip sync the words and sing them confidently and enthusiastically. Sam like Beth has also modelled fro photography students meaning he will also feel confident in front of the camera. Although he is not friends with the other actors we found this an unimportant aspect because Sam will mostly feature in scenes alone.
- Male robber: Sam Grotzke
- For the theft scene we have picked Sam to perform as the "villain". This is because he knows the other actors meaning that not only will he give a convincing performance, he will also be comfortable and enjoy performing with the other actors. Also, by using the same actor to perform as the artist and villain we are able to link the performance and narrative halves of the video together. It also creates an enigma code for the narrative based half of the video.
