Casting/auditions

For my final production we wanted the protagonist of the music video t have all of the right qualities that we needed in order to make our production successful. we wanted to have a dancer that would meet our expectation in being very emotional though her movements. however it was especially important that the dancer could also portray her emotions through her facial expressions whilst she was dancing therefore this meant that we could get a range of close ups shots on the dancer.

we held many auditions on a short section f a set dance. the dancing style was a very character/commercial dance, we though that this type of dancing audition would be best as we get to see all the potential in the dancers in that we not only get to see there dancing characteristics,but also there acting side. the auditions consisted of 7 contestants.

we then nailed this down to just two of the contestants and then got them to perform a duet to the opening of our music video, but we then put a twist into the audition in that we used the dance to a different soundtrack, we decided to do this as it pushes the dancers to there full potential and we wanted to see how well they were at improvising with there facial expressions.
