Casting

For our lead boy, we had to decide between Brandon and Jacob, both shown below in the screen tests that we conducted so as to help us choose who would look best on camera, and who fit the image of the indie band.

Jacob's Screen Test


Brandon's Screen Test

We decided to cast Jacob, as he was more lively and fun on camera, and could portray the 'innocent yet cool' lead of the band. We felt he had more of an 'indie', 'hipster' look than Brandon, and we thought that whilst both lip synced well, Jacob had the edge.




We also cast:

Brandon as the drummer in the band, as he is confident in front of the camera. We are also confident that we can make Audrey look 'indie' through our choice of costume.
Audrey as the guitarist in the band, as she is confident in front of the camera, and we thought that having different genders in the band would make the band more relatable to the audience. We are also confident that we can make Audrey look 'indie' through costume and make-up.
Chrystal as the bassist in the band, as she is confident in front of the camera, and we thought that having different genders in the band would make the band more relatable to the audience. We are also confident that we can make Chrystal look 'indie' through our choice of costume and make-up.







Me (Juliette) as the lead girl (the girl in the couples), as I am confident in front of the camera, and I can lip sync to the song. I am also the most confident in terms of performing for the camera, such as the dancing, and am most comfortable to do so in the group.
