Casting

Casting

The majority of individuals who choose to listen to music which is classed as an 'indie' genre are roughly aged between 16 to 25. Therefore we decided to cast people who are aged similarly to our target audience.Our chosen song 'Night Time' by 'The XX' discusses the difficulties within a relationship, as a result of this our group thought it would be appropriate to feature a couple within our promo. Casting a male and female would help to make a connection between the visuals and vocals. To make filming quick and efficient we considered casting teenagers who are going to be comfortable in front of the camera and aren't embarrassed to act in public. Therefore we carried out some research and narrowed down our possibilities to those who we think will fit the part perfectly!

Our final decisions:

Our male actor 'Joe' is currently studying Media at College and enjoys making music promos. Joe is willing to help out with our A2 project, and has informed us that he feels comfortable performing also. 

Our female actress 'Tallulah' feels perfectly confident performing in front of an audience. She has featured in dramas on TV before, been casted in a variety of musicals, is becoming more recognisable as a model and enjoys singing and dancing in her free time.
