Test shots of possible actors


David Aluko









Our first male possible actor is David Aluko. He is in our media group so if he was picked it would make it a lot easier for when we want to all come together and film as he will be committed because it's his coursework.

David Aluko has a good masculine figure which will be good because we want the male actor to look like the dominant one out of the two. However the level of David's hair may be a problem because low level haircut would be best suited to be similar to Drake's level. Another problem is that Aluko is quite darker than Drake and we would prefer a light actor.

Katherine Hall

Our second potential actor is Katherine Hall. She is quite confident so it wouldn't be a problem for us to get her to be comfortable while being filmed. She is also a model meaning she is very photogenic and would look good through the whole music video.

Overall Kat would be very suitable for our music video because she fits the style of the song.

However Kat takes A levels so she may not be as committed as we need her to be as she has other commitments elsewhere which is understandable. She is also not sure whether she wants to be in our music video so we cannot depend of her.

Peter Adekoya

Our third potential actor is Peter Adekoya. He is 6ft2 which is a preferable height as he would be portrayed as having a dominant stature over the female in the music video. Peter is very confident and outgoing so he would be comfortable in front of the cameras which is a huge advantage.

One of the problems that occur with Peter is that his complexion is fairly darker than Drake which we would try to avoid when picking our possible actors but this is a problem which could easily be overlooked. Another problem is that Peter is currently in sixth form doing A levels so his time will be limited when we are scheduling filming times.

We concluded that we would not use Peter as one of actors. Even though having perfect physical attribute, he has a very busy time schedule due to a levels and he won't be able to commit to our music video.

Ayo Osikoya

Our fourth potential actor is Ayo. He is very confident and projects himself well. By just seeing his body language you can tell that he is confident this makes a great protagonist.

One weakness with Ayo is that he is quite short however and we do not want the female actor to be taller than him however, his masculine structure makes up for this and gives him and sense of dominance. He also has facial hair which makes him look older. This will be a benefit because it links to the R&B/hip hop genre.
