My video does not require a large group of people so therefore I am able to film my video with just me and my friend Ryan who i am working with whose job will be to film while I act. The reason I have chosen to use just 1 actor and the reason I have chosen myself to be the actor is because I feel that I will no longer have to rely on other people and will be able to film when I want to film and will be able to film what I want to film, how I want to film it. I also think that due to the song I have chosen, it would be easier for me to lip sync it as it may take a while for somebody who does not know the song to learn the lyrics as opposed to me who already knows the song and the lyrics so will be able to do it quicker and more easily with the hopes of me messing up less.
I have chosen Ryan to be camera man for this as he does not know the song as well as me and obviously as he is on my group. I feel he has good camera skills and will be able to help provide good information as to what would look good for a shot and potentially help make sure that the shots are filmed in good location and the lighting and mood is correct. Also I feel he is reliable for when I need him to be so I will be able to film quickly and get it all done very fast which means if I have to go out and re-film then I will have time and it also gives me more time to edit.
