Actors

We decided as a group that Sophie Neil a member within our group would play the popstar/ artist in our music video of Anna Neale's "Not Made For This". Sophie has taken AS Drama and Theatre Studies, and is continuing to do so this academic year. She was cast as the female lead "Scaramouche", in "George Spencer's" version of the west end musical "We Will Rock You", where she had to sing some of Queen's most memorable hits with a live band. In our video we are aiming for the females alter ego to be quite dark and rock influenced (which will represent her aggressive, angry and frustrated side). Due to Sophie's experience in drama she will definitely be able to pull this role off confidently. In addition her singing experience, will hopefully the editing will look a lot more realistic. We have decided that Sophie is going to sing the song in our filming sessions, then we mute her voice on the real thing, to avoid out of time/ sync miming issues. In the narrative, Sophie would also have to play an innocent, naive, vulnerable character, which we are all confident she could pull of due to her experience throughout GCSE Drama (in which she achieved grade A). The rest of the group will play other small roles within the music video as we also have experience from taking GCSE and A level Drama and keeping it in the group means we know exactly what we want and do not have to worry about someone else being 'wooden' when performing. I will play the artist's boyfriend who she has trouble with (I am Sophie's boyfriend in reality and so can bring some realism and chemistry for the role) and the others (Andrew and Josh) and myself may play roles of mannequin's in black bodys suits for a particular sequence in the video which links to the idea of the singer wanting to have or create/ shape a better boyfriend.
