Story Actors

Story Actors

We struggled to find actors to play the girl roles in our video as none in our sixthform were willing to volunteered. We didn't want to waste too much of our time searching for actors for these parts so we thought it would be easier if we appeared in our own video instead. This would also help us when filming as we know we would be reliable as we don't want to fall behind. I will be playing the role of the 'new girlfriend' and my group partner Millie will be playing the role of the 'ex-girlfriend'. For the boys role we have chosen to use our friend Sam Wilkinson. We chose this particular actor as again we know he is reliable and we would find it easy to direct and work with him as we are all close friends.

Clothing
For these actors we have come up with some outfits for them to wear. As we are planning on basing our video on different days and events it is important that we get the actors wearing a couple of different outfits to show that these are different days. We have also thought about making them wear summery and wintery clothes to show the past and present times. For the past events we want our actors to be wearing summery clothes so we have decided that they will be wearing the following for some of our shots;

Millie- Summery Dress

Sam- Shorts and T-shirt or summery Jumper.

For the wintery (Present) events and shots we require our actors to wear the following;

Millie- Tights and warm clothes, Coat

Lauren-Skirt, Jumper, Coat

Sam- Jeans, Jumper and Coat

We thought this would be an affective way to show the different days and it would emphasise the fact that some shots are from the past and some are present. This will show the boy's memorys of before in the summer with his 'ex girlfriend'.
