Casting Actors
My main actor is James Benney. He is going to be playing 'Jay Sean' in my music video. I chose to use him because he has acted in music videos before with his own social group and was familliar to the way in which the scenes were shot, and what was needed in each shot. People have commented in the past that my actor looks like 'Jay Sean' himself, and so I feel that it was a perfectly suitable and realistic choice in actor.
My other actor will be playing the featuring artist in my music video. He goes by the name of Tommy Benney and he plays Rick Ross in the song. This challenges the generic conventions of the rap genre because my actor is a white English born male, as opposed to the stereotypical black Afro-American. I understood that this was the case because i was interested to see if the music video once finished, would still look as effective.
I have clearly stated my actors/cast for my music video I have picked these actors carefully ensuring they will benefit my music video. I've come to a conclusion on what will benefit my music video the best by doing research and looking at other music videos, in which i demonstrated in a previous post. (Music Video Analysis Post).
