Crowd - Whoever is in PS or wants a bit role on the day. 

Note: The people highlighted in red are cast members we have talked to and have agreed to be in our video. The others have either not given us a definite answer or have not been consulted yet, so are still prospective.

Reasons for casting

Ed: Even though he is an A2 student, from past experience we know that he can act and would fit the role exactly. From seeing him in drama productions last year, we know that he can act well

Ella: Was our second choice for the ‘Electric Girl’, and we chose her in the end because our first choice looked to similar to the main character we were casting and we need contrast between the two. She also does drama, which is why we chose her over our first choice. 

Philip: We chose him as the synth and drum machine player for the band, as he DJ’s professionally at home in Germany, and has his own rig. He also looks suitably ‘indie’ and from a performance back at the boarding house, we know that he will look fine on camera. 

Our other cast members have not been solidly decided, but we have the following down as prospectives:

Tom B: Can play both bass and guitar to an acceptable standard, and is an option for either the guitar or bass player. He can also sing, and has had much praise from his music teachers. At the moment our only proposition for a bass player

Jack: Does theatre, can act well and can sing acceptably. He is our backup man in case the above two are unavailable for some reason.

Tom S: Our backup in case for some reason Ed is unavailable or taken ill on the shoot day.

Jess: Initially our first choice as the ‘Electric girl’, she has become our backup as her facial features are too similar to Ed’s, and in case Ella is missing on shoot day.
