Character Casting

ELLIE BUNCE- MAIN CHARACTER
I have chosen my sister as I think she fits the character I am looking for. Her long blonde hair reflects her purity which contrasts to her actions. She doesn't have the usual features of someone who would go off the rails therefore I feel she is a good actress to show contrast to this and that this kind of situation can happen to anyone.  Ellie also has experience in Drama and has been an extra in many big films therefore her acting experience us adequate for my casting. It is also practical for my to use her as living in the same house means i can access her easily if there are any problems within my filming or editing.




NEIL BUNCE- FATHER FIGURE

I have chosen my Dad due to practicality for my production as it is hard to cast an adult member flexibly. Neil has acting experience after taking part in a film many years ago showing he w
ill be ale to take part in the small section that he is featured in. Neil is also a good choice as due to being the father of the girl in the music video it is important for similar features which are already prevalent due to the relation

Props

The use of props is important within any piece of medial. This will help portay key themes within my music video:
- Two main props within my music video will be the use of alcohol and drugs as it helps portray youths in a negative way as its a key driver for young people going off the roads within society. This also sticks with my idea of the representation of youth collectively.
Alcohol: I will use old beer bottles and spirits replacing the liquid for a more safe option such as water or apple juice. My character will be shown drinking or within reach of them.

Drugs: I will subsidise real drugs for unharmful substances. I will show the use of 'Ecstasy' through sugar crushed into lines and unspecified drugs as tablets such as paracetamol. My actor will not swallow them to avoid health issues.
