Casting

Seeing as we only need to cast three characters, our music video does not require too much effort with the casting aspect of the video. These characters include:

1. One Girl (the main character)
2. A boy (lead singer)
3. Another boy (love interest) 

We do still need background characters, which will give the 'forest party' an atmosphere, these people have no specific role or input towards the story or any of the characters, they are just there to add a party atmosphere.

Luckily the roles needed for our video didn't really require really specific personality or looks, so we could be quite open with the casting. However, one aspect which we needed to take into consideration was the fact that we would be filming during the Christmas holidays and we needed to find people which would be 1) reliable and 2) are available during the holidays and aren't away when we may need them for our shoot. 

Therefore, Zach had a close group of friends which he believed would be able to help out and therefore he created a Facebook group titled 'Media Filming' and then added as many people as he could to it, most of them being teenagers our age (which we intended to cast anyway) and then he posted all the details for the shoot on the page.

We also needed to find a lead singer who would be happy to lip synch for our video - of which I had the perfect person in mind - my friend Danny.

Here are some shots of the main characters cast:

Danny - Lead singer
