ROSEMARY DARKO - as Main Protagonist Rose

(Singer)

I've chosen Rosemary to be the main protagonist in my music video. Having taken an interest in the band I've chosen, and her familiarity with them I think is an advantage. This will put her more at ease for example, in the lip syncing process, the lyrics are fairly known to her so it wont affect the quality of the lip syncing much. She is also a very good actress in terms of playing dominant roles, she has a very expressive way of portraying how she feels and is never restricted so this will be represented directly on the camera and provide the perfect characterization needed for this role.










EUGENIE WHITTLE & LANA SMITH - as Rose's friends

As both funny, down to earth and bubbly people in real life, I feel Eugenie and Lana will be a perfect choice for playing the friends of Rose in the music video. Both seem to adopt a very childlike manner in the way they behave and they know how to have fun which is one thing I am hoping to convey in my music video; the idea that teenage girls in this modern day and age can have fun and be happy and bubbly and chatty without being immoral and interruptive. Their close bond will also make their interactions in the scenes seem more realistic and genuine.

SHARLENE KAWOOYA & MIKAEL - as cafe couple

Both very good actors and actresses. They will be playing the role of the cafe couple in which Rose comes across as she is walking by. I am confident in their ability to act as if they are genuinely in love in the scene. Sharlene will play a very effective part as she has done drama previously at GCSE and was a phenomenal member of the class.





KEMI OLAWOLE - as RAPPER
I've chosen Kemi to do the short rap in the video (the bridge) because she's a very confident person and that's the image rappers usually portray. Kemi also has a unique sense of style that will help to appeal to the target audience, for example she is quite versatile and can pull off any fashion.She also has the skill of keeping a straight face in funny situations so she will save me doing a lot of outtakes for her part in the music video and this will help me to choose the useful scenes more easily in the editing process.

KATHERINE MANNION - as Class Teacher

Kathy is another excellent dramatic student who has proven to have extraordinary acting skills. She will play the part of the teacher well because she is good at using improvisation and really taking on the role of the character she is put in. She is very talented and uses her body language and gestures well to portray emotion and status.

With her currently taking drama and theatre studies as a chosen subject at A - Levels, I think this will be the perfect opportunity to apply her skills and give her even more practise in the development of her existing dramatic skills.
