Due to the fact that my narrative does not span out and involve any other characters than a main boy and girl, my cast is small and provides a more focused, non-complicating story line that the audience will understand.
Male character:
Played by: Nathan Allen
Nathan was a great choice for a main character in my music video due to the fact that the two of us constructed a previous music video for our GCSE Media in high school and received an A grade for the piece of coursework, of course GCSE and A-level are incomparable, but I think this will give me a slight advantage from past experience of the two of us working together on a media project.
Nathan is reliable and will fit to the shooting schedule, and dresses in the costume that I would like the character in my video to be in on a regular basis, this indie-rock costume fits the conventions of my chosen genre without the need to specifically purchase these clothes. He also has a vintage motorcycle which could fit perfectly with the genre conventions of indie rock, which I could include in several shots.
Female character:
Played by: Georgina Isitt
Georgina is a close friend of mine and studies Applied Science, Film studies and Psychology at Wyke. I have chosen her to be my second and final character because I know that she is reliable and more than capable of fitting the role of my female character, she also lives locally to the shooting areas that I have chosen so will be easily accessible, which is convenient due to the fact that many of my shots are planned to be taken at night.
Her appearance and the way she dresses also reflects the genre conventions and costume of a stereotypical indie female character. This will help me achieve a sense of realism with my characters, sticking close to the costume conventions of real music videos of this genre.
