R&P Post 17: Casting Round One!

Hey! Welcome back to another research and planning post! 

Today me and my group created a casting list online on a website called Star Now and are now looking for actors to star in our music video. This website is used for companies looking for actors, models, musicians, dancers, etc. and is also used by actors, etc. themselves who are looking for roles. By using this website, we are hoping to find industry-level talent and to find actors with professional qualifications which will enhance the quality of our music video. Below you can see a picture of of our casting call, summarising the roles we need and what our music video is about:




From this you can see how we have told our potential applicants that we are not able to pay them for their roles but that we will do a free photoshoot for them in a location of their choice and will also cover catering costs during filming days. This is because as we are students and this is a student project, we have very little money to spend and are on a tight budget for our music video meaning that we will be limited in some ways for what we are able to include in our music video. For example, in terms of outfits for our characters, we are going to use a combination of our own clothes and the clothes of our actors (as long as they consent to this).

During our meeting today, we started by discussing ideas for what to include in our casting call and what requirements we need for our characters of the girl and boy. Below you can see some pictures of the requirements of actors for our music video:





Now we have made our casting list public and it is now being advertised, we just have to sit back and wait for some replies! Come back again soon to find out about our potential actors for our music video!
