cast/job roles

here is the cast list and job roles for our music videos "Summer of 69"

Singer: Henry Inman:
we chose me to be the singer as I know the song very well and because I'm an A-level drama student I'm a confident performer.





Love interest: Dani Burns:
We chose Dani for this role as she has experience with media studies coursework and is happy to work in front of camera

Bass player:Will Davidson:
We chose Will as our bassist as he does play the bass guitar very well adding an aspect of realism to the video. Also he is very confident in front of camera and he's a good person to work with overall.

Drummer: Jenni Rayner:
Jenni is are drummer because she is also an A-level drama student and a confident performer. Also we needed a female band member to link in with the lyrics of the song "Jimmy quit, Jody got married".

Lead guitar: Jordan Chilvers:
Jordan is another A-level drama student and I feel it's important that all our actors are confident and happy to be in front of camera, which Jordan is.
















Director/ camera man: Charlie Bradley:
Charlie said from the start that she didn't want to be in the video, which both of us thought suited the project better as I wanted to perform and Charlie is better than me when it comes to the technical elements of the project.

Artist's background



This is a prezi giving a little background on our chosen artist Bryan Adams, along with showing some of his greatest hits and conventions of his videos.
One of the main reasons I wanted to do this song/artist is because I'm a big fan of Bryan Adams and the rock genre as well.
