TASK 9

Organization of actors

For my music video I want to have a quite cliché love music

video. For my love cliché music video I wanted to people to be

in it, a boy and a girl. I only wanted two people in my music

video because I wanted the video to be focused on the two

between the two people. When choosing my actor and actress

I had to think of what the audience who listen to Defeater

would look and dress like but also I would have to think of

what references in the song how the people are described as.

What’s my storyline?

TAMARA REED For my female model I wanted a girl with long hair and piercing

eyes which stand out. I have chosen to use Tamara because as you can tell in this photo her eyes

do stand out and in the song there is a line which goes “your

legs and those eyes.” In my story board there is a scene which I

want my model to look up and we see her eyes. Another reason why

I have chosen to use Tamara is for her smile which is why I have chosen her because this music video is quite important as the

music chosen is happy.

CONTACTING TAMARA REED

When contacting Tamara Reed I mentioned what she should wear and where I would be recording my music video but also who she would be acting with. I wanted

my model to wear a dress because of the lyric in the music video goes “Did I forget to tell

you how pretty you looked in that dress?”

TROY HIGGINS

For my male model I wanted a guy who fits into the target

audience who listen to Defeater. I have chosen to use Troy

because as you can tell in this photo of him he has an

alternative look about him with his hair and clothing. Most

people who listen to Defeater as the ‘swooshy’ hair which Troy

has and they tend to wear similar clothes that Troy wears.

Another reason for choosing Troy is that he listens to

Defeater so he has a feel for the song already.

CONTACTING TROY HIGGINS

When contacting Troy Higgins I mentioned where I would be recording my music video but also who he would be acting with. I wanted Troy

to wear his normal clothes because he already fits into

the audience of this music but also in the song it doesn’t

mention what he looks like.
