Finding the Actors

We began to look for people that could play the desired instruments in our video. The most tricky role to fill was the cello, as it is quite rare that people play it. We began to ask around and see who is reliable to perform in our video.
We decided that the band members should be wearing smart/casual clothing, ideally blazers and shirts or shirts and ties. This formal look will fit better with out video and also with the church setting.
Here are some examples of how clothing changed with the setting of a video:

We began to fill the roles of our music video and came up with this list of actors:

Mike-Drums
Dan-Lead Singer
Ollie-Cello/Violin

Luckily, Ollie can play both the cello and the violin, and also knows people who play the violin. This was very handy because it means that we had a choice of who to cast, something we didn't think we would get with the violin and the cello. Ollie also knows a church in Greenhithe that would be happy to let us use the church as a setting, and Ollie could get keys, so gaining access when it suited us best wouldn't be a problem.
