Actor/Performer Decision
We decided as a group that Sophie Neil (below), would play the main teenage girl in our music video of Anna Neale's "Not Made For This". Sophie has taken AS Drama and Theatre Studies, and is continuing to do so this academic year. She was cast as the female lead "Scaramouche", in "George Spencer's" version of the west end musical "We Will Rock You", where she had to sing some of Queen's most memorable hits with a live band. In our video we are aiming for the females alter ego to be quite "rocky" (which will represent her aggressive, angry and frustrated side), this experience Sophie has, definitely suggests that she could pull this role off confidently, and seeing as she has singing experience, hopefully the editing will look a lot more realistic. We have decided that Sophie is going to sing the song in our filming sessions, then we mute her voice on the real thing, to avoid messy miming problems. In the narrative, Sophie would also have to play an innocent, naive, vulnerable character, which we are all confident she could pull of due to her experience throughout GCSE Drama (in which she achieved grade A) and her experiences elsewhere.
