Testing the cast on camera

Camera testing
Before finding a definite cast we needed to take pictures of the boys because many people look different in real life and on camera. For example although we thought one boy would be perfect, once on screen he didn’t look as authentic. Alex I and had to make sure that they had the right look and physical attributes to be in our music video. Another reason for this may be to ensure your cast are co operative and not camera shy. If the candidate seemed awkward and shy towards only a few people giving them instruction, they may not be able to handle a room filled of spectators on the actual shoot day. And therefore you would have to find someone else who feels comfortable enough. Especially for our music video we really needed energetic and easy going people that felt comfortable dancing and rapping in front of others.
