One of my first Choices for my main actor was Sam Peace. Sam is 18 years old and is currently being cast for a film due to be released in 2018, he is also a very good guitarist which is also the main reason i would of chose him, this is due my music video being a mixture of performance and narrative. Furthermore Sam has had lots of experience of being infront of a camera meaning he would not feel nervous under pressure. However the the main reason i chose him is that in the past he has done music videos before for some smaller groups, acting as a guitarist and just covering the song. He also has a very strong voice meaning that he would easily carry the words throughout the production. He listens to a wide range of music and dresses in a similar manner to the artists who he will be partly portraying in the performance sections. Also Sam owns a 2 guitars which makes it easier as will not need to purchase any of them for props. Below is a video of him miming the lyrics to the chosen song Another actor i am thinking of being in my production would be Sams girlfriend. The main reason is that i would like to show a story within my music video and it would be easier if they are actually together in real life. This makes it easier to find certain props such as a picture of them together which would b used within the video, Furthermore she has also done some acting as well which helps the fact that she wouldn't by camera shy (Picture coming soon)
For some scenes that involved the use of a car i needed someone who could drive and sam cannot drive. For this i used one of my other actors choices Daniel Smith. Daniel looks similar to Sam and has the same sort of hair style, plus he can drive which is needed for some of my scenes. For these reasons this is why i chose him to be used as a double for Sam within my music video. In his spare time he enjoys playing the guitar which could become useful if I needed him to play some parts within the video.
