FINDING ACTORS TO USE

Now that I had decided on a song and had an idea of various settings that I will possibly use, I need to decide who my actors will be and how many of them I will need.
Once choosing my song, I immediatley thought about having my sister for my main actress. Though she is nearly 21, I think that she looks young enough to be in the music video, because I didnt want the actress being too young. I also chose my sister because she has long hair, which is something I wanted for my actress.
As the song I have chosen is related to a relationship, I decided that it would be good for my sisters real life boyfriend to play her 'ex' boyfriend in the video. I think this is ideal because it will be more comfortable for them to act as a couple in the video.
After realising that I had two actors for the narrative I was to include, I realised that I needed a actress to sing the song itself. I decided that I wanted my sister to be the singer too because this was my original plan.
With regards to this, I figured that it would be a good idea to have my sister play both the singer and the actor in the narrative. This way it will represent her personal story. This is a very common technique that Taylor Swift uses in her videos, including the Back to December video.


This is my sister, who will be the main actor for my music video.
This is Will. He will be my male actor in my music video.
