Casting and Auditions

Our idea is to cast two teenagers that are in a relationship as this will fit the target audience with them both being teenagers and it will make the whole video more realistic if they are able to act like a couple comfortably in front of a camera. With this in mind the initial people casted was Erina and Tom to play the parts. However, unfortunately Erina wasn't able to play the part so we had to look for a different couple. We then decided we were going to use Milly and Ben, this was because Milly is the same build as Erina and has the same eye and hair colour which fits what we actually wanted and Ben is with Milly so it made them look realistic together. Within some shots we include shots inside a car which means we would preferable need one of them to be driving (we had the boy in mind to drive), this was good as Ben can drive and it will make it possible for all the shots to be completed. They are both very confident which is what is needed for them to be filmed as it made sure that the shots looked realistic and not awkward. However, with having to change to filming Milly we will now face a difficulty in filming the dancing shots. We now have to cast an extra person to do the dancing which means we will have to change those shots slightly and instead of being able to see the figure we will now have to film just the shadow or have low key lighting so it can't be seen that they are different people.  For this we have decided to cast Freya as she is one of the only people we know that can dance (she reguarly wins competitions which means she is good) so she is the only person we know that is capable of doing these shots. She is also very confident with her dancing which means that she will be willing to do them for us without being awkward and making the dance moves look like someone who can't dance would do.

Below we have included videos of people we would have casted but they weren't good at acting. We have also included a clip of Milly dancing to show she wasn't suitable for the job and then one of Freya dancing showing she is what we need to make the video look as realistic and relatable as possible.
