Actors


For our music videos narrative, we needed two actors, a male and female, to play our broken-up couple that the story revolves around. 
The character we needed to consider carefully was the female character, who was required to portray an image of anger and sadness due to their heartbreak. In order to make this portrayal realistic, we wanted to use someone who had experience in dramatic acting. This is why we asked Caitlin Mapes, a 17-year-old who has performed onstage in multiple productions, and has worked with us before in our year 12 Thriller Opening production. Caitlin was required to fake cry and perform a tantrum for part of our video, a task we knew we needed someone comfortable with both our group to witness and to be filmed, so we made sure she was confident with that before we cast her. 
We also needed to cast our male actor, who although does not feature as heavily in the video as the female character, was also a key part of the narrative to consider. We chose Pippin Casbourne for this role, as along with his acting background, he is the same age and similar height of Caitlin, allowing us to level our shots of them both together better and for the narrative to be more believable.
