What is a screen test?
As screen test are mostly use in order for directors to be able to see different actors performing a role that is needed. This screen test has a purpose as it allows to see actors perform and see whether they are the right match or not.
For this project we decided to make a screen test that shows several people we think would be good and fits the criteria of our artist. The video below is our screen test of the people we ask to lip sync following the song, this was done to see people's confidence on screen and body gestures.
Screen Test Full Song
Throughout the process of making the screen test, we didn't only ask girls to lip sync with the song but we also ask our friends who were guys too. By doing this, it allows us to also see which would fit more better. Where at the end we decided to pick with the 3rd actor which is our friend and teammate Kellie. From all of the people that was in the screen test, Kellie was the one that fit exactly with our artist criteria especially her personality. Kellie was also very expressive when lip syncing it as well as she was very confident, to which this skill would be good for our actors performance during the music video.
Even though we needed to find our artist, we also need to find a guy that would fit the artist style as the person will need to be the artist lover. So we decided to ask several of our friends who were boys to say the line that the character will say which is "is this seat taken?".
Reflection
This blogpost was a lot of fun to make. We're very grateful that our classmates were willing to participate, because we know it can be a bit awkward to do. Our chosen male actor, Karl, was the only person that took a little bit longer to film his part, because he doesn't attend our school so he had to find a friend willing to film it for him.
