Decisions: Casting

  • FREDDY: For our artist, (despite getting let down by the first potential actor we contacted), we had the sublime privilege of working with Sam Barnham. Not only is Sam a massive fan of Jamie T, but his A2 Drama skills are sure to come in handy, as well as the convenience of us all being at the same school, are all positive factors in this choice for our artist.

  • THE LETDOWNS: Tom Roberts, Archie Harris-Eva and group member Harry Moppet will form 'Freddy's' backing band, featured at the beginning of the video and also during the party scene. Again, local convenience, enthusiasm for the project and connections as friends all played a part in our decision

  • GIRL: The 'love interest' of the video is to be played by Hannah Watson. Also a drama student, close friendship ties with Sam will make the filming of one particular scene less awkward.
  • FRIENDS: For the 'background' characters, we will use friends at the school. This will make the filming easy, give the characters pre-existing chemistry for screen, and also will hopefully make the party scene enjoyable to film.

  • POLICEMEN: We will use two children, David (pictured) and Julek, to play the role of policemen in the film to metaphorically illustrate ideas about maturity, age, and childhood/adolescent/adult lifestyle.
