Possible Performers + Casting


Possible actors for music video:
Main singer/actor
- Chess
Chess would make a good representation for the target audience. She will be playing the 'relatable' character, meaning that she needs fit stereotypes of the target audience. Her style is somewhat mainstream but still unique, which is a style that the target audience is likely to think of themselves. She is reliable and will turn up to any shooting session possible. She is also good at following instruction, however lacks the ability to lip-sync effectively and convincingly, which makes her more appropriate for this role, but more appropriate for the family member role.








-Gee
Gee represents the target audience well, as well as fitting the stereotypes of the target audience. She appears to have a less mainstream style, with dyed-red hair. She would fit the part of the main character as she is reliable, and often available for filming. She is also good at acting, as she takes Drama as a subject. Her lip-syncing is convincing and well-timed, and she is punctual. This makes her very appropriate for the main role.


Boyfriend/ex
- Phil Cooke
Phil suits the role of the boyfriend as he is the same age as the singer's actor (17). He is a fairly accurate representation of the male audience for the music genre, and he is capable of playing the role suitably. His style suits the intended audience profile well, as it is fairly neutral and not too mainstream. He would be suitable as an actor as he is reliable and punctual, and is available regularly.


-Phil Fletcher
Phil may suit the role fairly well. He is the same age as the singer's actor, meaning that it would be pheasable that he is her boyfriend. He has a unique style, and may not represent the male target audience as well as Phil Cooke. He is available to perform very often and is reliable, however he lacks the confidence to act well on camera. He may also be difficult to work with, as he may not follow instructions well. This may be a huge downfall to casting him.

Family members
- Liv -
Liv would suit the sister character from the first section of the video well, as she is a similar age to the singer's actor and may not fit the stereotype of the audience as well. This means that she will be the less relatable character, with a more mainstream look. There will not be much focus on this character.






- Steve
considerably older than other actors. confident, father figure, suits role.He is a good representation of the target audience's father figure, and would be recognised instantly as the father due to his age and the situation.






-Carl
Also considerably older, he is an obvious father figure when compared agains the other actors. He suits the role fairly well, however he is unlikely to be reliable, and would not follow instructions well making him hard to work with.
