Pre Production - Cast and Crew

Cast and Crew

For my music video I will need the help of some friends for the crew and insuring that everything on set is correct. I’m hoping to have (Including myself) around 6 or seven people helping, however due to some scenes not having all the actors in the shot this should allow for less people on set meaning that I can manage a small group rather than organising a big group which can cause confusion.

Actor wise I will be having 2  in total, these being “The Girl” and "the mysterious guy". These actors when not on screen will be able to help behind the camera to deal with filming, lighting etc.

For my actors I have chosen;

“The Girl” as Myself

“The mysterious guy” as Tony Cash

I’ve decided to cast myself and Tony Cash as the main two characters as we know the most about the music video meaning we can play the part without having to make someone play them for us. Tony and I will be working closely together on the structure of the music video so that we have a better understanding of how we want the characters to be. I’ve also selected Tony as he has past experience in creating other media projects which can help especially behind the camera.

Having known everyone involved with the media project before actually working with them has helped massively due to knowing everyone’s strong points making it easier to assign people to the correct jobs. Working with a team that is new would have set back a lot of the possibilities with the music video, not only that but working with people new could make it harder communication wise as some people find it hard to work with new people. I hope to in the future improve on working with people that I don’t know, allowing me to gain more social skills that could benefit me when I work on another project.
