Actors

Here are screenshots of the portfolio i have created for the female actress i have cast for our music video. I created these portfolio's on https://www.allyou.net/ 

however had to screenshot them because after 30 days you have to pay a monthly membership. 

i believe that Ellie would be appropriate for our music video as her appearance is versatile, meaning she will be able to adapt to the role of a woman during the 1940s although she is a young adult of 2016. Ellie exhibits a natural appearance therefore I will be able to alter her look to suit that of the 1940's. Many influential figures of the 1940's/50's had dark brown hair much like Ellie therefore it will be much easier for her to fit the role, rather than having someone with bright pink hair for example which is a much more contemporary look and hard to intertwine with the setting of 1940's/50's. Ellie would appeal to the audience because of her unique beauty. As Laura Mulvey theorised, audience's look through the eyes of a heterosexual male therefore not only would heterosexual males be engaged with the music video because of the visually pleasing element but women who look through the 'male gaze' would aspire to be like Ellie and engage with the video too. Ellie falls in the perfect age range because the average age to marry in the 1940's/50's was approximately 21 which in comparison to today's society is very young. A concept of the narrative for our video is that the couple are engaged, therefore Ellies age highlights the fact the character was very young when falling in love, so contextually the music video is very accurate and avoids confusion.

This is a link to my other male actor's portfolio i created.

Max would suit the role of the male in our music video because he is exuberant and confident. His style is edgy yet versatile. His edgy look suits the the genre of the song and we are able to use that to our advantage by creating a new image for his appearance that is focused around the 1940's-50's era but gives off an edgy impression to attract our targeted audience. He is older than Ellie which is typical of couples during 40's/50's era as men were generally older than their partners. Max has previous acting experience and has been in a substantial amount of productions which include main roles, therefore he is comfortable with acting both in front of an audience and behind the camera.
