Introducing the Female Role

With our next filming date fast approaching, it's the first time the girlfriend character comes into the video and so I thought it would be an apt time to let you all know a bit about her...

Name: Sarah Brushett

Age: 18

Again we needed an actor who would be up for letting themself go a bit and show a wide range of emotions. The person needed to have a good sense of fashion and match the same style of our lead role Taylor. The main part of her role is going to be in an intense and heated argument with Taylor, not an easy part to fill. This is all an awful lot to ask, however, Ellis spoke to Sarah and ran through all the parts she's needed for and Sarah was really keen to get involved. Sarah has done some drama in her past and so she knows what to expect. The bonus is that she knows Taylor well and so they'll both enjoy acting out the scenes together. They've both already said they cannot wait to do the argument scene!

Lead Role: Actor Found!

Name: Taylor Gorga
Age: 19 Years Old

We think we've found the perfect person for our role in the music video 'Demons'. My team member Ellis has asked her friend Taylor if he'd be willing to help us with our music video and star in it as the lead character, and the lead vocalist of our band (although there's no singing in the video!). Typical of his 'game for anything' personality he was more than up for it. He won't have a problem adapting to the type of character we're looking for in our video because he actually shows quite a lot of the character's personality in his own personality anyway. If you were to categorize Taylor regarding his fashion sense he would fit perfectly into the 'indie' category being quite extravagant in his clothing. Also he's a keen festival and gig-goer so he's familiar with the musical genre we're appealing to. As he's attended many musical events he can relate to the drug scene which is helpful because drugs is the main theme of our video. As a bonus he's also done plenty of acting and drama before so he isn't going to be phased or shocked at all at some of the scenes we're going to ask him to act. In the video he'll be dressed quite casual in a hoodie, graphic t-shirt and skinny jeans/chinos. He'll wear vans/desert boots/high-tops for footwear.

The Lead Role

This is arguably the hardest decision to make when producing a music video, without a good main character and actor it is going to be hard to class our music video as one of the best. So before just going out and plucking someone off of our Facebook friend's list we had to draw together what sort of person he is going to need to be. Regarding his own personal character he is going to need to be very willing and confident, past acting or drama experience would be great. The character is going to need to express a wide range of emotions, from getting high to crying, from anger to confusion. This is all going to be filmed in public as well so he's going to have to put up with confused onlookers whilst we do the filming.

In terms with the type of character he's going to be acting we're looking for a young and confused adult. He'll be dressed in an 'indie' fashion with a hoody on and skinny jeans/chinos, reflecting his rather careless outlook on life. Some viewers may start to sympathise with him because his drug addiction (or the Demons) has gotten the better of him leaving him homeless and without his girlfriend. The character is also going to be known as Fenech Soler's lead vocalist, although he is not singing in the video, just acting. His face will appear on some of our other products and so the target audience will be able to identify him as the lead singer in Fenech Soler. Here's a couple of images below of the sort of person we're looking for....
