The next main task to do was to pick our main character. we had done all of our planning, our research but we didn't have a main character. Darren had briefly mentioned that he wanted to be the main character earlier but it wasn't officially decided. So we finished our story board just before our half term break and so we needed to decide what people were going to feature in our video as we were due to begin filming the week we got back from the half term break. We had to make an official decision of who the main character would be and who would play the girlfriend in the video. Darren said that he still had no problem with being the main character. however i mentioned that i felt that i know someone who would probably be more suited to the style of the video, and the style of the music. The group agreed with me that if i could get him that we would use him as the main character. so through the half term break i contacted this friend of mine called Matt. Matt said that he'd be more than happy to do it but we'd have to give him the times that we were planning to shoot because he has college 3 days a week.

Hearing this got me thinking about the practicality of having him as the main character in our video. It would mean that we will have very little accessibility to him  and especially when we are quite tight for time we need all the time we can get. Due to this i thought he wouldn't be the best option as a main character when thinking practically. When we got back from our half term break i expressed this to the team and they agreed with me. We then started rushing through the school looking for someone that could be the main character in the video. We though that if they go to the same 6th form as us we would have more access to them rather than looking for someone outside the school.

We managed to find someone who said they would be willing to do it but i had a concern with that person being the main character. We managed to get a student in our school called Harrison who is quite musical and had ginger hair. my big concern with having him in the video was that our video would start to look to much like a mimic of Ed Sheerans. It just seemed that it would seem like to much of a copy rather than an original. As a group we had mixed feeling about this and so we asked the opinion of our Class peers and our subject teacher and they also thought that it would take away from the original aspect of our video. Due to this we all then agreed not to use Harrison as the main character in the video. So we still had no main character. After all the commission we ended up going back to square one. We balancing originality and practicality that the best option was to simply have our group member Darren as the main character and so we made that official.
