Character Profile

In my short film there is only 1 character on screen. The main character doesn't have a name. This is because he doesn't need one throughout the short film. I have chosen a male to do the part. This is because it fits in with the male singer of the song. Even though that he doesn't mime in the song it will fit in better. Also in the French conversation in the middle it is a girl splitting up with a boy. So having a boy as the main character fits the story. The man would be better if he was able to drive. He will be around 18 years old. This is because it can relate to the audience better. The audience is around the same age. If the actor can't drive i will have to do shots that look like he's driving when he's not. This is not the best, but it's still possible.

The person i have choosen to play this part is Billy Lewis. He is currently 19 so he is near enough the perfect age for what i want. I picked him to be my actor as he has experience with acting before so he wont be shy infront of a camera. He is 6 ft with a muslcur build. He has black short hair. This type of person is quite common so people could place themselves in his shoes when watching the video. As there will be no talking throughout the video expcept from the phone call he will have to use his body and emontions to show what he's feeling.
