2. CASTINGCALLPRO
We decided early on due to the emotion of the song, we needed real
actors who would be able to portray the range of emotions that the
narrative required in a believable fashion. Due to us not knowing any
professional actors who would be willing to do it for free we decided to
use the service CastingCallPro. It is an online network of actors who are
willing to get involved with Student Projects for no fee. We thought this
would be the perfect avenue to find the two actors needed for our
narrative.
3. POSTING A JOB
We wanted the actors to
immediately understand that we
where shooting a music video and
that the actors where not going to
be paid.
We put up an extremely detailed
description of our production to
entise a wide array of actors to the
project and for them to understand
that we where going to do the Music
Video to a very high standard.
4. APPLICANTS
After posting the job we where
overwhelmed by the response as
we had 50 female applicants for
the role of the girlfriend and 10
male applicants for the part of
Jack Butler. This gave us a lot of
options, allowing us to make a
very well thought out decision on
who our actors would be.
