Casting/audition information (Courtney + Ben)

For our music video we need to have two actors; one that is solely a performer and one that is both a performer and the explorer during the narrative sequences. We chose our potential actors as they are likely to be available and willing to perform and fit our demographic of late teens/early twenties. Below is a profile of the three potential actors that we looked at I also asked all three actors for a quote saying why they think they would be suitable for the part in the music video.

We decided to select Steven and Olivia as our actors as we felt they both had the best mix of passion and experience to represent our artist. They are also both comfortable in front of a camera and available in the time period we plan to film in.

Our potential actors include:

Age: 17
Ethnicity: White British
Personality: Bubbly, fun loving, always up for a laugh, kind hearted

of his way to help people.
