Casting

With our casting, we had a few difficulties as people kept becoming unavailable at the last minute, however we finally managed to select some people, who were best suited for the roles


The first boy we selected was Grant. We chose him because he has a stereotypical look that can be assosiated with boybands. He also has a certain confidence about him that we believed would help make it seem as if he really was close to all the other band members.


The second boy we selected was Harvie. He also has a stereotypical look that a boyband member would have. He is less confident but is confident when it comes to singing and thus is helpful when it comes to lipsyncing


The 3rd boy we selected was Euloge. He was chosen because he adds diversity to the group, and is very confident and will do the silly things we ask for our boyband shoot. He will have no problems interacting with others and getting out of his comfort zone.


The fourth and boy we selected was Daryl. He also adds diversity to the group and is also very confident. He may take some time to get used to the others but once he relaxes will blend very well with the others.


The fifth and final boy chosen was Reece. He has a stereotypical boyband look and has a 'Cute' look allowing different personalities within the band to be portrayed, as often found with in boybands; each boy has a different 'character' and a different personality trait to be displayed.


The boys were also selected with careful consideration going into how well they look together as well as seperatley as it is no good picking boys who look well on their own, but do not look like they could even be friends let alone in a band together.

Tripod

Contingency Plan




We are planning to go up to London one Saturday to film the main part of our video. However, as the British weather is so unpredictable if it rains we need to think of something different to work with it. If it does rain then we will buy umbrella and do a similar thing to how the opening of Friends is, whereby they mess around with open umbrellas. Also if for some reason we cannot get to a location we need, we shall go to other iconic places in London, such as Oxford street and Victoria Station.


Prop List

We aren’t using any particular props but our ionic landmarks will be the main props of our video.
Such As:
Trafalgar Square
Big Ben
London Eye
Southbank
Telephone Boxes
In the lip sync we may use some props such as silly string or inflatables.
