Casting My Leading Actor

Introduction 
On this page I am going to review and discuss my choices of actors and actress for the leading role in my music video. I will decide who is most suited to the role. All images are taken by Me. 


Option 1 
My first option is Colin. He is male and aged 51. Being males is good as I feel the song could be better suited to a males voices. How ever, he does not have any previous acting experience and does not play the guitar which would mean he would have to pretend to play in some scenes. I am also worried that because he is older than my target audience he might appeal to them less than someone who is in there same age range. 


Option 2

My next option is Frankie, who is female and aged 17. As she is a similar age to my target audience this could help them to relate to her, making the song appeal to them more.  However, she also does not play the guitar or sing which would make it difficult when it comes to the scenes involving an acoustic guitar. 


Option 3
Another actor who I could use is Vincent. Vincent is male and aged 18. Vincent has previous acting experience from drama schools. He sings, plays guitar and records his own music. As he is a similar age to my target audience they could relate to him well. 


Option 4
My final option for an actor is Holly. She is 18 and female. She age is right for my target audience. She has previous acting experience due to drama A level and sings. Being a singer would help if I decide to do any lip syncing scenes. However she does not play the guitar, which might make the guitar scenes hard. 


Conclusion
In conclusion I think that I should use Vincent. Vincent has all the characteristics I need in my actor. The only issue I create by choosing him is that I must re-record wedding bells in a male voice. However, this avoids issues with copyright. As Vincent has recording equipment and is a singer and musicians this should not be too hard for us.
