After discussing with our teacher about our casting list, we found out that Jess, Merlin and Teymour are involved in more than 3 music videos and that they can't be doing more as they will be missing their classes. So we have to come up with a plan B. Luckily, we found a pair who happens to be available for the music video.
This is our finalists : Emma Frances Hodgson and Frankie Dixon.
Emma as Dummy, the lead singer
We thought that she is edgy yet glamourours and she has the look of innocence and vulnerability which would be great for the music video as she is suppose to be playing a victim who was abused by her boyfriend. She is a drama student so that means it will be very easy to work with her in terms of directing on the shooting day.Also for the album cover, I thought she would be able to pull these looks ( these dummy posters were made by Sophia)
Freddie as Dummy's abusive boyfriend.
He would be a perfect role to play an abusive boyfriend as he has that rough edge and he looks fierce. Emma and Freddie are good friends which means that they will be comfortable with each other on the set during the shoot. This is important as we as directors and them as actors would be able to save time and move on quickly with the shots we need to take. I feel that when actors are comfortable with each other, it is less awkward, more fun and enjoyable to film.
