Audition for main character

We chose to auditioned Lewis Hodson because we would like him to star as our main character and singer within our music video. This is because we feel it shows some resemblance to the main singer in Madness and he also is an Drama A level student which means that he is a confidence actor and will be able to act well in front of the camera. We gave Lewis a section of the lyrics and got him to learn them and put him in front of the camera to see how he reacts because we need some one who will be confident in front of the camera. We also got him to mime the song to see how good he is at miming because miming is a big part of our music video. We gave him this section five minutes before to see how he copes under pressure as we shall be asking him to do a lot of things that may just come up on the spot and he has no chance to prep it.We also need him to be able to do stuff that will send him out of his comfort own which is why we got him to do a little bit of the dancing .  Lewis is a very confident actor and we have given him the part of are main actor due to his confidence and dedication and the way he can improvise in front of the camera. We also chose him because of his ability to mime is one of the main key things in why we have given him the part due the miming is the key thing within a music video if they cannot mime then there is no point having them  .
