Talking with the band & Cast #14

    This project is currently and in the future, going to take a lot of effort and time from I my parter and many other individuals. I knew that depending on others is always going to be a challenge, and the more people you have to be dependent on the larger the amount of problems that can hinder your expected finishing time frame. This is why the talks with the other cast members and the band members also was initiated and confirmed for casting a long time before the preliminary filming even started. The reason for this was because I felt that I had to get an evident decision from my chosen/ideal members to whether or not they wouldn't be reluctant to help and this meant that we would have more time to work around everyone's schedules and make the filming a lot easier on everyone. 

   James Dyer is a good friend of mine and I have worked on many projects with him before, including previously recording his band twice. Of course this relationship does help in minors situations, but it will mostly be down to the creativity and outcome of the filming on the day (however it does mean I'm not afraid to persuade the band to be a bit more enthusiastic or not).

    

    The band I have picked to help us with our music video though is a purposeful (and to some extent, lucky) choice too. I know from experience that they like the band and the song that they will be playing, and they also play similar sounds to the very same genre also. This then creates a better sense of character, and because the band performance plays such an important part to the video, character is key because if the belief and the emotion is there to be encapsulated then the audience will be there to do so. 

   Luckily our narrative only includes one other person (apart from myself and my partner), and that role is for the character of the firing-boss. For this role we knew we needed someone that looked powerful and very important, and this is why we chose someone that looks older, that is wiser with more experience compared to out adolescent-looking individual (me). This hopefully adds to that belief of character, and existentially, the belief of the whole story in its entirety. This is why I chose and asked both my Tutor and the Section Leader for the sixth-form for the role, as I thought he'd be perfect for it. We'd also get the office a long with it too - so it was a clear win, win situation.
