Casting

It is vital that me and Emma select the correct cast to be involved in our music production. This is because if we gather people who may not be very serious, motivated and committed to our filming dates, then it could result in us producing a music video to a lower standard due to the cast that we chose. To represent our main character for our music video we chose Jasmine Flowers. We decided Jazz would suit our role of an isolated school girl for a number of reasons. 

One of the main  reasons why we believe Jazz is suitable for the main character is because she studied performing arts and music. This means that she is very enthusiastic and is a good singer and dancer as well as a good actor. Jazz's qualities have allowed us to have a high standard of acting which would improve the outcome of our music video. 

Another reason why we chosen Jazz to be our main actor was because she was able to produce her own cover of 'use somebody' by Kings of Leon. This was produced in the style of Pixie Lott's acoustic version. We recorded Jazz singing this song as her house, where she was most comfortable and where the recording equipment was. We believe that Jazz's own version of 'Use somebody' as our soundtrack will be very effective as it is in a slower version, which will help set the tone of the music video. Also, producing our own soundtrack will show that we put a lot of effort into making our music production to our best ability. 

One other reason why she chose Jazz as our main actor is because she is 16 years old. This means that she is in the same age group as our target audience (students). This would allow many people to relate to actor, and maybe some relate to the main story line of our music production. 

Below is a picture of our main actor Jazz. 

To conclude, I believe that Jazz will be very effective to use as our main actor due to reasons stated above. I believe that Jazz's confidence will allow us to gather lots of good shots from when she is acting. Jazz is also very reliable so we can rely on Jazz to turn up when we plan a day for filming. I believe that all of Jazz's qualities will enable us to make a good music production.
