Role Allocations
Due to working individually on my music video
project I come under the bracket of an auteur, this label comes from the
following theory:
Auteur Theory
François Truffaut introduced the auteur
theory around 1954; it is a dated theory but is still used within modern
filmmaking stating that an individual filmmaker is fully responsible for the
creative processes that make the finished product. The auteur is viewed as the
true creator of a film taking on all the roles of writing, casting, producing,
directing, filming and editing.
Casting
When casting I decided to cast Olly Burrows
as the male protagonist in my music video. He is aware of the artist Rat Boy
and also studies A Level Media Studies, so is aware of the requirements I have
for the coursework process. The fact Olly is a media student and is aware of
the song and artist overrules the fact he has little acting experience. Due to
my product being performance based, emotion isn’t necessarily required.
I have also casted male skater Louis Crookes,
he has a vast amount of experience in regards to skating and can do a variety
of stunts allowing me to gain professional shots for my music video. At the
start of my video I intend to have a diverse group of individuals explain what
they want to be in the future, many students have volunteered to be part of
this section of my production including Millie McIntosh, Callum Byrne and Rosie
Carver. These students do not require any acting skills as it is based on real
life expectations and experiences.
All of the cast must wear casual clothing
when filming footage but not specific colours or items of clothing are required
as long as the attire is appropriately worn.
