2. THE BOYFRIEND PLAYED BY ED FINDLEY
The boyfriend will be played by Ed Findley.
We chose Ed for the role as he is a confident
actor who can always stick to different roles
when asked to. His general attire and
persona also fits very well with the genre of
our music video, as he is heavily influenced
by the indie style and music. He also is the
bass player in the band we are using,
Chambers, so that will help to link the
narrative to the band very easily. It also
means that in our production we will not
have to have someone pretending to make
the band shots look realistic by playing the
instrument, as he knows the song very well.
3. THE GIRLFRIEND PLAYED BY ME
I have been chosen to play the role of
the girlfriend as we couldn’t think of
other girls that would be suitable for the
role due to the need of someone who
looks quite alternative. I have also been
good friends with Ed for a long time so
acting with him wouldn’t cause any
awkwardness as we are comfortable
with each other. Also the role of the
girlfriend is a small role so I will not be in
the production a lot.
4. EXTRAS AND BAND MEMBERS
The extras that we will be using for the
narrative are the band members that we will
be using.The reasoning for this is that we
want to show how the boyfriend is close to
his band members and find them to be very
important, as this is the case for most bands.
We thought that this would be a good way to
show how people in bands often struggle to
maintain relationships as their fellow band
members become a more important aspect
in their life.We also chose the band
members as they are also quite confident
with acting, and also fit the genre very well.
