3. Main roll – Mike T-E
He is a fantastic actor and completed one of his GCSE’s on this subject. He is
a friend and my brother making him extremely reliable and I trust he will
strive to act the way I ask him to and show up where he is needed. Ready to
film.
Cast for the main roll I have Michael Temple-Edwards. I decided he would be
perfect to for fill the roll due to his flexibility and love of acting. He still
attends college and so isn't available in school hours which means I will film,
with him outside of school hours and out of lesson time. However as he
works evenings it means I am able to borrow him between 3.20 and 7 which
is perfect as a lot of the scenes are outside and it will be dark by the time he
begins work anyway.
I sat down with him and asked what it was he thought we could apply to the
music video that would allow the two actors to share each others company
outdoors whilst displaying their freedom and we came to the conclusion the
boys could skate together.

6. Costume
The idea behind his costume (casual wear) is to reflect the
style of the target audience of the band, Alabama shakes. Is to
make the main character of the music video relatable and
loved. Allows the audience to conform and believe in the
music video. Not only that but the style of the outfit reflects
the activity he is partaking in the video. If my main character
was skating constantly but always seen wearing a suit it would
look completely out of place and although he wasn’t dressed
suitably for the activity.
