Auditions

There are four acting roles that we needed to audition for for our music video, the main artist, the guardian angel, and the mum and dad. We also decided that we needed understudies too so that anything went wrong with our main actors we would have somebody to fill in easily. We decided to hold auditions with the possible actors acting out a scene of our music video so we were able to select the highest standard of people possible suitable to be in our music video.

The Role Of The Artist-
We had two people audition to be the main actress. One of the people that auditioned was the artist herself Holly Hayes,

Holly's Audition-

Tierney's Audition-

As Holly was actually the artist we felt that she had more of a connection to the song and therefor will be able to lip sync and perform it better. It also allows us to promote her as herself which is something that we wanted to Holly will be playing the main Role. Although Tierney was a very good actress we just felt that Holly has more emotion involved in the song as she wrote it herself therefor its her feelings. We gave Tierney the position as the understudy though and they both accepted their positions.

The Role Of The Mum And Dad-
We had two people audition to be the mum in our music video and two people to be the dad, all of similar ages who fit the age range of being an older girls mum or dad.

Janet's Audition-

Sharon's Audition-

Glenn's Audition-

Peter's Audition-

Overall we felt that Sharron and Peter were more comfortable in the role of the mum and dad as there acting was to a higher standard. We also wanted to stick with both the actor and actress being husband and wife as we thought that would work well with our story line. We decided that Janet and Glenn would be our understudies if something meant that Sharon or Peter could not perform. All accepted.

The Role Of The Guardian Angel-
The role of the guardian angel we wanted to be played preferably by a young teenage girl with long blonde hair who is a similar height to our artist. We auditioned 2 girls both who fit the image we was looking for.

Maddie Chivington's Audition-

Aimee Webb's Audition-

Overall we felt that Maddie was more confident and suited to the part as the guardian angel as she performed to a very high standard which would improve our music video. Aimee was still very good though and fitted the style and image we was looking for as well so we decided to use them as our understudy. All accepted the positions.
