Casting the male lead.

Today we decided on who we wanted to be the main character in our music video. He will be posing as the singer of the band and also acting out the storyline.

We need to make sure that he has good acting ability and is competent at lip syncing and has good stage presence.

Here are the potential candidates:

Alex Talwar:

Alex Talwar is a drama student from North London. He has very advanced drama skills and has recently performed in our schools musical production of 'Anything Goes' as the male lead.

He is a grade 7 at singing which would probably mean that he would be very good at lip syncing.

We like Alex but we are not 100% sure that he will fit with the vibe of our music video.



Jem Nash:

Jem Nash is a student and part time musician from South London. He has previous acting experience and knows how to play the guitar and the drums at an advanced level.

Jem is our main candidate as it was our original plan to use his song and we already decided that he would be very good in a music video. We think he really fits with the indie genre and we like his personal style.

He regularly busks on the Southbank which is something that we wanted to incorporate into our video.

Overall we think that he is a very strong candidate.

We decided to go with Jem for our video. We checked the filming dates with him and he confirmed that he was available. The next thing that we need to do is a screen test to see how he looks on screen and to test his lip syncing ability.
