Task 9- Casting

Once I had decided upon a basic story line I figured that we would need two actors to play a part within it. To begin with I asked a few of my friends who said they wouldn't mind helping out. But after discussing our options we realized that I could ask a friend, Faye Stockley, who has done a few Youtube video's for 'sing for us'. We are hoping that she will be able to record the song in the Landau recording studio and then alongside her boyfriend, Mark, she has agreed to act in it. Here is Faye covering Skinny Love:

Faye Stockley - Acting as the artist and also the protagonist. Faye is a 16 year old student from The Rawlett School. She sings professionally and so I thought that she would be a great asset to my music video. Furthermore, Faye also does drama for GCSE and takes part in the yearly school productions so she has had experience within the acting field. 

Mark Dennison - Acting as Faye's boyfriend in the music video. Mark is a both shy and confident character so i thought he would be perfect for the role of Faye's boyfriend as he can portray a great sensitive side to him. Moreover, Mark also does drama and takes part in the school productions. Most recently acting as the beast from 'Beauty & The Beast'. 

Since showing Faye and Mark our storyboard we have arranged two separate days to film with them as you can see from my production schedule. In addition to this we have taken them to the locations in which we wish to film so that they understand the basic idea of what they will need to do. I have also sent Faye the link to the song 'Mine' and it's lyrics so that she will know the song fully once we come to record.
