2. Kelsey Purdy
Role: Camera Person and Editor
Suitability: She has experience in filming
previous to this project, and has confidence in
framing and giving direction to actors. Has a
clear understanding of the music video brief
and conventions of genre in order to create a
professional looking video.
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Consent given: Yes
3. Rory Murphy
• Role: “Boyfriend”
• Suitability: He has good acting abilities and is
the real boyfriend of Holly, so this helps in
portraying real emotion. He is comfortable with his
fellow actor and has an understanding of the
screenplay we want to achieve. Rory is physically
suitable for the part because he can grow stubble
to look unkempt, is taller than Holly so he appears
dominating, and has dark curly hair which will also
add to the unkempt look. We want for his character
to look dishevelled because this will make his
concerns and motives seem more focused on his
girlfriend rather than appearance.

4. Holly Riley
Role: “Girlfriend” and Director
Suitability: She has previous acting
experiences, having been part of a drama
group for several years, and has a love for
music. She has helped in creating the story
boards and has an understanding of the genre
conventions. She is physically suited for the
part because she takes pride in her
appearance by presenting herself well, much
like her character in the video. Her short dark
hair breaks the stereotype of a typically girly
person, making her seem more suited to an
edgier Alternative music video.
