Screen Test Shots Of Possible Actors

Since we are doing a song with Pop background, it was important to use a predominantly white background. However, the fact that in the band they range in ethnicity it was also important to look at a range of people who would be suitable for the role. However, Fifth Harmony prefer to embrace inner beauty, therefore the ethnicity of the person is less important then their ability to lip sync in time with the song.

Morgan Newsam-
Our first actress to consider was Morgan. Morgan is very fun and bubbly, extremely confident to play a role as part of a girl band. She does in fact have Chinese descendants in her family history, therefore giving her a variety of ethical orientation. Morgan is very attractive and curvy in shape, giving her a real outstanding unique look. She also varies her use of make-up, but known for her use of bold red lipstick. Her use of fashion varies therefore, she is great as Fifth Harmony are known for changing their style all of the time. She also loves to wear her heeled boots, giving her height and elongating her to seem taller than she actually is. Morgan likes to listen to the latest music including artists like Selena Gomez, G-Eazy and Five Seconds Of Summer. She likes to wear trousers and jeans as well as skirts. However, i feel that anything too revealing would make her feel uncomfortable, but the use of skin is not what we what to portray anyway due to our target audience also being fairly young as well as, also being slightly older. She loves to experiment with various hair colours and styles, giving her a slightly unique edge compared to others. Morgan is versatile with her hair mainly having it curled to up depending on what she feels will work with her outfit on the day. Morgan is average in height and likes to maintain a well-groomed look. As a person she is great and would her potential to go further is also good, especially to appear in the video and feature on a magazine or CD covers.






Megan Clements-
Megan is very tall, slim and petite in size; she is blonde in hair colour, contrasting to Morgan who is naturally dark in hair colour. She can often be found wearing her hair in braids or a top knot. She wears simplistic make-up that falls elegantly on the face. She is quite tall subverting against the height of Morgan. Megan likes to party a lot and spend time with friends. She is great with managing to balance school life with her personal life. Megan is very activity in the fact that she does netball on a regular basis as part of team, showing she is great with others therefore would also be great to be part of band. She is confident, but can also be a little shy around people that she does not really know. She loves to wear lots of accessories and her use of make can be bold when is at a special occasion like a party. She is very confident and would feel comfortable in a dress or mid drift style type of clothing. Her style is also very 'Indie' with a twist as she likes to wear trainers with this feminine look, adding a slight tomboy feel and showing her sporty side. She likes a lot of house party music and popular forms of music. Megan has a great personality that brings a huge smile to many of her friends, as well as, other students around school. She is fun and outgoing, but her being a little shy makes her fit well with the personality of Morgan. She is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, looking great on camera, in and on magazines, as well as a CD cover album.






Natasha Carroll-
Natasha is very fun and full of energy. She is very sporty with the fact that she plays football and did GCSE dance. She is medium in height, she is very natural doesn't really wear make-up only when it’s really a special occasion. Her hair is natural and full of volume, giving her a different look compared to the hair of the other roles. She likes to wear various items of clothing, but mainly t-shirts and jeans. She does wear skirts and dresses, but I feel that she would be more comfortable in jeans rather than a revealing clothes. She is a very big fan of pop music and music in general; her great love is Taylor swift, in which she has to been to several of her concerts. She is very close with her family, and is even an aunt. She is a close to all of her family and likes to spend time with them as much as she can. Her plans for the future are to study football in a scholarship in America. She is very talented and is very funny. Her sarcasm is her real quality and her smile to match. She is very bubbly and is great in a team especially as she works in a team through football. She is shorter than Megan and taller than Morgan so creates a harmony in the band. She is also curvy and the fact that they are a different shapes and sizes means they appeal to a various type of audience. They all beautiful in their own way, the fact they are different makes them perfect. As part of the band, she would be an asset with her funny humour. Overall, she would look great on an album or magazine cover, and bring her own style to the band.








Tia Dyos-
Tia is very bubbly person, who does in fact have a very shy side to her. Her hair is dark in colour, matching the dark clothing that she can often be found wearing. She is a true lover of a good series, including The Fosters, Pretty little liars and Grey’s anatomy, even Orang is the new black. She is curvy and extremely funny, often making her friends laugh on a regular basis. She is very good at sociology and psychology, looking at the brain, humans and the environment around them. Tia has a very free feeling on life, having fun but working hard at the same time. She is a big fan of the Olympics with gymnastics being one of her favourite sports to watch. Her fashion is very casual, with black and grey defiantly being her favourite colours.  She likes to have the latest technologies, with apple being her favourite branding. Her music preference is mainly Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, listening whenever she finds the chance to listen to music. Tia make-up is very important to her, with her eyebrows being a key feature of her look, she is minimal with lipstick, but if ever applied is always dark in colour. She is a massive lover of High School musical, singing the songs in the most random places like during form time. As an artist, she would bring a fun factor but also a serious side; take the music industry as a job that needs to be fulfilled successfully, with a success outcome. Her personality is very similar to Natasha’s, maybe causing a clash in the band. Tia is an extremely busy woman, therefore finding time to film her in the music video would be hard. The fact that Tia can sometimes become shy, might mean that she won’t like the limelight and may become nervous in front of the camera. Overall, I feel she has the perfect image and look of for someone who is young, but I feel her shy personality and the pressure of performing on demand will become too much, she would look great in a video and CD cover, but overall, I feel she isn’t right for the band.





Elena Middlicott-
Elena is very creative and loves to draw whenever she can. She style is very similar to Tia’s, with blacks and grey's dominating her look. Elena is quiet but loves a laugh and a joke. She is hard-working pupil in and outside of school. She also has a part-time job and is great at balancing her personal and school life. She loves the idea of travel and has many aspirations for the future. Elena is strong willed and never gives up even if she is faced with a challenge. She loves everything musical related, one day she plans to visit Broadway as she has seen three west end musicals already. She loves to sing and watch films. Her hair is blonde and often tied back away from her face. She is very much a quiet person who likes to party until she has reached a limit. Elena enjoys various types of music, with The Script being her favourite band, but loves hundreds of songs, sometimes even the cheesiest tracks. Elena is a person who will do anything for anyone, and very family based , spending whenever she gets the chance with them. Elena is similar in height to Megan, elongating the various shapes and heights, which will already feature in the music video.  Art is her true love however, being quite talented and skilled when it comes to drawing. Elena doesn’t like her photos being taken, and will was hard to persuade her to have these photos, therefore, she would feel confident in front of the camera, becoming nervous and shy when the spotlight is pinned on her . She is very conscious of her appearance and would feel scared of what others would feel about her. Elena is also a very busy woman, as I’m filming the music video, making it impossible for me to feature in the music video. Elena is a great person, but is not appropriate for the video, as she is one the director and too shy to feel comfortable in front of the camera.





Conclusion-
To conclude, Morgan, Megan and Natasha are the perfect candidates for the video, even though Fifth Harmony is in fact a 5 piece band, we wanted to break the boundaries, creating a three piece band as an alternative to the original artists. They are big personalities with Morgan I feel taking the most liking to the camera, Megan being less confident will add innocence and not cause a clash in personalities. Them all being very different, shows various characters and something that all of our target audience can relate to, feeling a personal connection with the band. They are very hard-working but enjoy a little fun in their life, if they are relaxed I know that this video will be of huge success. Overall, they are great for a music video, CD cover and be amazing is any magazine discussion or cover, they are truly inspirational people who embrace their female gender and the equality of females in today’s society, as do Fifth Harmony themselves.
