R+P Post 27: Casting

We chose to use Emilio, Jack, and me as the band members, as well as Tom Brown, who did media AS with us last year. This is because we all have similar free periods, and we know we are all going to be dedicated to the shoot and our performances.

Me as Casey Tyler.
Casey Tyler - We cast me as Casey Tyler because she is an energetic character, and it is much easier having a group member as the lead. Additionally, I have been involved with drama things in the past, so I am a confident performer. We decided to make a screen test in order to make sure I matched the role of the lead singer.

This is our screen test. We thought that my lip syncing matched the voice, and that with a bit of extra training i can portray Casey's character well.

Jack as Hugh Tyler.

Hugh Tyler - We cast Jack as Hugh Tyler because he is the second most important in the band, and we are confident in Jack's performance skills as he does A2 drama and is always amazing in the school production. Additionally, we wanted to show Casey and Hugh as having  close, friendly relationship, and this would be easy for Jack and me to pull off as we have been close friends for years. Jack was also the bass player in the music video remake task, so he has had practise in playing the guitar to the music convincingly.

Tom as Terrence Kitchener.
Terrence Kitchener - We cast Tom Brown as Terrence because he is an ex-media student, so we know he will take the role very seriously, and he plays the piano, so can play the keyboard convincingly in the video. We also tested to see how he would be playing the keyboard in character, and he was very confident, and pulled off Terrence's smug expressions extremely well.

Emilio as Guy Chapman.
Guy Chapman - We cast Emilio as Guy because he has had experience performing in the music video remake prelim, and also has a drum kit at home so has had practice with using a drum kit. This would mean his performance as the drummer will look very natural, and he was very good at portraying Guy's quietness, while also conveying Guy's love for the music and expertise in playing the drums.

Our full cast for the party scene.
Party scene ensemble - We all invited friends to come in on the first Saturday of shooting to be part of the ensemble. Because of this, our cast consisted of the people who were willing and able to dress up and dance on the day. Our ensemble was eventually just five extra members: Ray Baker, Lily Mo Browne, Hugo Perrot-Barnaby, Caleb Wycoff-Smith, and Luciano Francischelli.
