In order to help us determine who we would like to be cast in our music video, we decided to hold auditions with some potential actors. In these auditions, we got the actors to use the following script:
-State name and age
-State role applying for
-Explain why you like folk music
-Lip sync the first verse of the song using the lyrics provided
Below are the two audition tapes for the two actors that we decided to cast in our music video and the reasons that we chose these actors.
Older Frank:
Due to Laurence's keen interest in Folk music and his enthusiasm towards Frank Turner, we thought that he would be a brilliant candidate for playing our Older Frank. It would have been better if we could have a slightly older actor, however as this was not possible we decided that by picking someone who was passionate about what they would be doing and looked like the real life artist, we would be able to work with this quite well.
Younger Frank:
Despite Dan's disinterest in the folk music genre, he was extremely confident on camera and was able to easily pick up the lyrics that we gave to him. His lip syncing was extremely well done considering that it was his first attempt. In addition to this, Dan is the correct age for the character and looks like he could easily be a younger version of both Frank Turner and Laurence, the older actor. In addition, Dan goes to our school meaning that we can easily find him to discuss filming and we will know the times that he is available to film, making our job much easier.
