The main character for my music video will be played by William Peckover. I have chosen to use Will as my main character for a number of reasons. The is that he completed a drama course at GCSE level, achieving a high grade and has gone on to do drama at A level. This confirms to me that he has the ability and skills to be able to play a convincing role. The character that he is playing displays a lot of emotions, from crying to becoming violent. The sensitivity of the characters alcoholism would be best portrayed by a character who can replicate the emotion and struggles in as realistic a way as possible. Given Wills acting experience, I believe that he has the ability to do so.Additionally, Wills physical appearance matches the idea that I'd initially had for the main character. I wanted to cast somebody with darker hair; around 6ft with glasses, or at least a face that would suit glasses. He has a strong build and could easily be mistaken for a young male teacher. All of these features combined help to create the appearance of a well-put together but all-together ordinary looking male. I want to create and use this look/impression to emphasise how alcoholism can affect even the most ordinary of people.
Lastly, Will has expressed his flexibility and availability. This is helpful for me when filming as I feel he will be reliable. A problem that I have previously encountered when producing my AS media project, was that some of the actors were unavailable on the days that I wanted/needed to film. I believe that confirming the availability of the actor beforehand will enable me to complete the filming stage sooner and easier, therefore allowing me to produce the media product to a higher standard as I will have more time to edit and test it.
