Cast

In our music video, we are going to have around half animation and half real-life. For the real-life part, we need to have actors to represent the band, more specifically, 6 members made up of 4 males and two females. The real band members look in their early twenties so by casting similar looking actors, it will be more realistic. The band members also wear indie/folk costume so we have tried to spot and ask possible actors who do too. The costume reflects mainstream popular culture, influenced by audiences dress styles (seen around our school environment we have noticed how popular this look is). A typical outfit may consist of: (males) jeans, checkered shirt, printed shirt, casual shoes or trainers; (females) cardigans, dresses, leggings/tights, shoes/boots and similar items.
Having searched around our school and asking people we know, we have come up with seven of the six members, but some are not definite - which are shown as (?).
1. Jessica Allen
2. Elizabeth Greengrass
3. Jakob Montagu-Shaw
4. Matt Beaumont
5. Will Wynne (?)
6. Jack Mullane
7. Oliver Kirby (?)
8. Johnny Allan

All the actors including myself fitted the characteristics we needed to represent the band. We would have preferred to use the band, as they would have been able to perform (live) professionally but they were unable to come from London to Norwich. Therefore, our sources were limited and we ended up searching for actors amongst our year group. We were fortunate to have actors who looked similar to the band. We hope that the actors represent the band in a mature and professional way.
