Actor - chosen actor to play the artist and Female role in the Music Video

Alex Wilson

Name: Alex Wilson
Age: 23
Lives: Chelmsford, Essex


Why we chose our actor

The reason we chose Alex to play our actor in our music video is because he suits our genre of Indie pop. This is because he wears simple clothes such as denim jackets and shorts etc. He also has a bit of a beard and is not someone who just focuses on his image like many mainstream pop artists do. He also has quite long hair like Tom Odell does which is good because we are doing a Tom Odell song.

Another main reason we chose Alex to be our main actor who plays the artist in the music video is because previously Alex has been in a music video. This is because he used to be in a band called 'Hello Monroe'. This band was signed by an independent record label too and therefore Alex knows about indie music. The fact that he has been in a few music videos before is good as it means he is used to taking direction and following instructions by people before.

As Alex had to lip sync and play his drums in sync in his music video it means that he will be able to do this easily within our music video that we create and will not be shy and then not look like he is singing. Although Tom Odell is 24 and Max is only 23, Alex's image suits the voice of Tom Odell also, this is important as it will make our music video believable and look like Alex is actually singing this song. As he has a girlfriend this is helpful too because it means that we will have someone to play the girl in the narrative of the music video and that the two of them will be comfortable acting in front of each other. These are the reasons we picked Alex Wilson to be our main actor.




Laura Thomas

Artists Girlfriend - The artists girlfriend is going to be played by Laura Thomas. She fits the part of the girlfriend because in real life she is going out with Alex and therefore they do not have to act in love as it is real love so the acting ill not be that difficult for them. This is also good because they are comfortable to act and for Alex to lip sync lyrics to Laura. Laura is 21 years old which will also be good for the part in this film as she is slightly younger than Alex which is stereotypically the way most couples are (man slightly older than the woman). As Laura does have a full time job in a bank it is good as she will have business clothes that she can use for the opening shots where she comes home from work.
