Actors and Props
- 1. Actors and Props BYELISHIA SELBY
- 2. My Main Character My main character is to be played by Frances. She has had many previous experiences with acting due to taking Theatre Studies for A-level and being involved in many school plays, she has the confidence to do what she is instructed to act and I feel looks the part I want. However she has no professional experience with regards to dancing, but says she will have a go and try, which is what I am looking for. She also has a friendly face and looks like someone who would go out and help people, which is exactly what her character does throughout the video, meaning she is perfect for this role.
- 3. My Singer Mysinger I have chosen is Elishia because she has a caring looking face, which goes along nicely with the tone and message of my video; people caring for others. She also has long hair to give me the potential to style it how I wish; (curly/straight/up/down) and has had some previous experience with singing so knows what she is doing. She has also taken Theatre Studies for GCSE and her As- level as well as been involved in multiple shows, meaning she has that experience to act as I need her to.
- 4. My Two ProfessionalDancers I have chosen for Beth and Karis to be my dancers in my video because of the experience they have both had; going to competitions and dance clubs. They have both done freestyle and street dance, which is the genre of dancing I am hoping to include in my video. Karis and Beth are both dance partners within their duet competitions, which is perfect as I know that they will be able to work together well and be in time with the music. They will also play a part in the narrative of the video, at the beginning they will play as two best friends who are having an argument, which they will be able to play well because they already are best friends and occasionally argue in which I hope they will be able to re-create as naturalistically as possible, I am hoping that their actual rapport will show through in the video.
- 5. Doubting Character Forthis character I wanted an average boy who lacks in confidence and believing in himself. For this character I decided to have Sam to act as him. Sam has had previous basic experience with acting due to school plays so will be able to act how I wish, he is also fairly good friends with Frances (my main character) meaning that he will be okay to act with her without feeling awkward, I will hopefully be able to see the rapport of their real friendship and show it into my video. I feel that he has an innocent face, which fits perfectly with this character and also has experience with media, which may help me with regards to different camera angles in this scene.
- 6. The Bullies x3 I wanted two boys and a girl to play as the bullies to show that in reality it can be both genders bullying in reality, however I made the majority male because stereotypically the females are the ones to use social media and verbal abuse rather than physical, (ratio of 2:1). I chose for Mike, Jack and Eleanor to act as my bullies this is because of their height, to make them look more intimidating when standing near their victim. Jack and Mike also featured in my music video last year and were required to play similar part, in which I know they can do. They are also all good friends which I hope their rapport will show through into the video, the bullies being friends and ‘in it together’ I suppose to pick on an innocent person.
- 7. The Victim Iwanted my character (a victim of being physically bullied) to have an innocent young looking face (no facial hair), someone who needs that confidence boost to stand up for themselves and I felt that Cameron would fit this role. He has had many previous experiences with acting due to taking Theatre Studies for A-level and being involved in many school plays, he also wants to act in the future as his career, meaning that he would take this seriously and do what I instruct him to do. Due to having much experience with acting he has been required to play multiple roles throughout this time, therefore he will potentially be able to portray this character well.
- 8. Love Heart Character This character I wanted to be someone with a loving and caring face, so I chose Emily for this role as I feel she looks the part. She has the confidence to act well which I have seen over the years, but has no professional experience. This character won’t be in the video for much of the time since her full narrative isn’t shown but is another person that France’s character has helped, but I feel that she will be able to make an impact with her acting skills/ability.
- 9. Sad to HappyCharacter I wanted this character to be a boy to balance out the gender ratio to 3:3 with the characters my main character helps throughout the song. So for this I have chosen to have Ben. This is because he has a fairly young looking face (no facial hair) and has the capability to look both upset and happy, in which is what his character does. I know he would also be able to act as I instruct him to. He has however had not much acting experience, but I know through knowing him that he had the capability of acting sad and happy.
- 10. Props I willnot require any props in which my actors will hold, but may use minimalistic props or set for the inside scenes. Since the majority of my video is shot outside I will use the surroundings I have around me at the time rather than adding in any props or set. I may however use a rucksack for the bullying scene for the bullies to get hold of and throw back at the victim.
