Character changes

Change to Lead: Due to numerous complications with the previous male lead, George Suddaby, I've had to make a change to the Male Lead. With issues of time scheduling and availability of George, the likelihood of completing my filming on time was getting less likely.

New Male Lead: Tom Drayton, my new male lead, has spent time taking part in numerous Performing arts projects giving him an insight into the works of acting. He is also in a relationship with the Lead Female Role, giving the portrayal of them both in a relationship in the video a more relaxed and believable feel to it.

Media project intro draft

This video shows the first part of my music project. This displays the intro to the song, following the repetitive beats of the song awaiting the start of the lyrics to begin.
For my first draft, i decided to edit this sequence in black and white, i did this as it will depict what has already happened previously between the couple. After researching into existing Indie music videos, i discovered using black and white to depict the past is a very stereotypical concept, changing between this and colour showing the present time.

Casting

Male Lead:
George Suddaby-

I have chosen George as the male lead as not only does he already own items of clothing i will be needing for costume within my media text, but he is also already very familiar with my chosen song and the characteristics of the band Arctic Monkeys. This will hopefully allow him to portray the Conventions and stereotypes of this genre in the way i hope. Also, with the ability to act, this will allow George to make the role appear real, and not forced.

Female Lead:
Jaz Fletcher-

I have chosen Jaz to portray the female lead as i believe she will be able to create a convincing character within my media text. Not only this, but she also already portrays the chosen image for my media text in her daily life, with an aspect of the stereotypes of Indie Rock clothing. With her Knowledge of Indie Rock music, she will be able to understand what stereotypes i will need to convey in my video without much instruction. One again, Jaz has the ability to act with little struggle allow her to portray the character i need her too.
