Actors/Actress

We have chosen our actors/actress according to the character we want them to play. For the main character, the painter, we wanted him to be quite a casual, typical boy. We decided this because we wanted to make it as realistic as possible. Our girl actress fits into the character we adapted for her very well, because we wanted her to be like 'the girl next door'. This means, very innocent, sweet and simple. Our final actor is the girls boyfriend. We chose this particular person because we thought he suited the macho look of 'the other guy' and the harsh reality of falling in love with someone you can't have.


We chose these actors, because we felt they are appealing to our target audience of teenagers. We chose two attractive boys so they would appeal to the audience. Additionally, the girl was chosen due to her good looks as well. This links to our genre being pop and being clean cut and attractive.

We also chose these actors because they are the same age as our target audience. This is effective due to the video being realistic and almost part of them, not just them acting. This links to why One Direction are so popular, because they are young and similar ages to their fans, meaning they relate to them, and the experience is first hand.
