Casting Actors

Working on projects such as promotional videos for events, advertisements, etc enables me to be exposed to the different challenges, ideas of team members, and most importantly people whom I can cast as actors in my personal projects. I worked with one of the students whom I had auditioned in school (for the music video of the song 'CRUSH') in making an advertisement. ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g0bhG82rsZ6MfWWLGqmu2r-Jp5ybEDpc/view ). Her attitude on set was very positive and she wasn't camera conscious at all. This is an important quality for increasing the efficiency of work on set. She also fit the criteria for the female character in my music video which included being bold.
Her name is Aroob



For the male Actor, who has the main lead in the music video, I chose a very fitting student. Ironically, he was the one who sang the song 'Take on me' in the music room during to which I first came across the song. Since he already knew the song and was also skilled in playing several instruments, I felt like he was perfect for the role. Furthermore, his adorable and engaging nature would make it extremely easy for me to create his 'star persona'.

 His name is Sheece.

This was a new experience for me in which I had to manage everything under pressure within a certain time frame. This equipped me with time management and organizational skills (since I had to organize the available content in a chronological order to make it clear and understandable).

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.

Research on Genres

I want to create a music video following the comedy and romance genre. To create such a text, I looked into the romance and comedy genre conventions that I could follow. These are some of the important points I noted down.  ROMANCE: COMEDY: I came across a table that showed the types of comedy. To my surprise, visual comedy (through editing) was not included.
