Test shots of Actors

My first chosen actor is going to be Bethany Taylor and she is going to play Taylor swift (the artist) in my music video. For this test shot, my actor is dressed in smart but pretty clothing to represent my genre and my costume choice well. The simple black dress is very complimentary to her figure and emphasises glamour. My actor also has her make-up done to a high standard, featuring red lipstick, mascara and flicked eye liner on to also represent the characteristics and look of my chosen artist and to make her look like a pop artist. And lastly, she is positioned in front of a natural back drop in the bushes so it also fits into the theme of the woods for my chosen song. She is standing on a pathway which finishes center of the photo. 



This is my test shot for my next actor Will Quatermain that is going to be featuring in my music video. This is Will, and he is going to be playing the only male actor in the music video (Taylor Swift's boyfriend). Will is also positioned in front of a natural background of trees to fit in with my theme of the woods for my chosen song. This actor is wearing casual clothing, which is the sort of style I am going to be using for some of my scenes in the music video to make him look like a typical casual male figure, however I plan on dressing him in smart clothing also, to fit in with the pop genre conventions making him look like he belongs in a pop video. I believe showing him well dressed will emphasize the pop genre. I want him to look just as stylish as Bethany.
