Point 25- Casting

Charlie Bailey

Charlie is being cast as our lead
actor in our side story and our
lead singer in our band. We
chose Charlie because he is
a brilliant actor and recently has
been accepted to attend AMDA
next year and is also my best
mate so he was delighted to
help.









Grace Pritchard


Grace is going to play the role of Charlie's girlfriend in my
video. One of the reasons we chose her is that she has a strong friendship with Charlie and they will work very well together. Also she is a very good actress, she played Heather in  Gordonstoun's recent production of American Idiot and did an amazing Job so this is another reason why we chose her.













Ciara Middleton

Ciara is Playing the role of the girl who Charlie cheats on Grace with. We chose Ciara because she is in My A-Level Theatre Studies class and we performed in a play of William Shakespeare's Coriolanus together, which we were awarded Trinity College London Distinction for so this is why we have chose her.












Shaun Clarke

Shaun is going to drum for our band shots. Shaun played drums for American Idiot and is a great drummer so we are going to get him to listen to our chosen song so he can get a feel for the drumming so that when we come to filming he can play along to the song and the we will be able to create a convincing band sync

Point 24- Shot Locations and shots of the locations

This is the North Gate at Gordonstoun School. As all the members of Pyramid Entertainment attend Gordonstoun we already have permission to use it. This is the main place we will shoot the Unknown girl walking to meet up with the boyfriend in the video. They will meet at the gate and then walk through the gate when the boyfriends girlfriend watches him walk away with another girl. This location offers great opportunities for dramatic long shots and a great final shot to fade out from for a finish. This fade out shot will give the audience a sense that the video is over and complete.

This is the Silent Walk at Gordonstoun School. As all the members of Pyramid Entertainment attend Gordonstoun we already have permission to use it. Similarly to the North Gate the footage we take from the Silent walk will be mostly the unknown girl walking at night to meet the boyfriend and also the boyfriend going to meet the unknown girl. As well as the long shots we get at the North gate the Silent Walk proposes another great location to take some great long shots.
