Casting Ideas

We decided to get together an all female cast to make the post feminist element in our video much stronger. We decided to use girls from the ages of 17-18 to appeal to our target audience but also say something about the moral in the song and the messages the artist is sending to younger girls.

Lola Riley (Artist): Michelle
Girl number one (On the corner): Laura
Girl number two (By the sign): Alex
Girl number three (On the Box): Angelina
Girl number four (Friend of girl on box): Jordan

We felt that the image/look of all the girls chosen also relfects that of our genre of music from their clothes/hair/makeup. This consists of the following:

Artist

• Flowery dress
• Leather jacket (iconic)
• Dark tights
• Black boots

1st Girl

2nd girl

3rd Girl

• Boots

4th Girl

Costume:

• Jeans
• Cardigan
• Pumps
• Tights

Makeup:

• Light eye make up (mascara and eyeliner)
• Blusher
• Lip balm

We felt that these elements would conform to the persona we are creating for each woman. The women waiting to be taken out are more glamorous than those who have split up with their boyfriend but each woman's hair and makeup looks quite natural, challenging female beauty. Also the costume is conventional to the indie genre, reinforcing our artists identity to the audience.
