Biography of Actors Playing RD in our Video

Similarly to the band RD, we decided to have three main girls to represent the group. This was because the song itself is set up into three main parts which represent different characteristics of the individual girls. Furthermore, there is a brief description of the girls that we chose below, which girl will be singing each part of the song and the general reasoning behind why we chose them.

Sharnough Dauley-Hill

Sharna  - Singing 'Chronz's Part

Sharna, a student attending Graveney School is currently 16 years of age.  Playing the character of Chronz within the actual RD group, Sharna is very reliable and up to date with the current R and B, Grime and Hip-Hop genres of music.  By attending Graveney School, communication and scheduling filming arrangements is fairly easy as it is very common to see her around.
We decided to give Sharna the MC part within the song, as we felt that it fitted naturally with her characteristics and personality.  Therefore, we hope that on screen, her actions and persona will appear to be natural and relate directly to members of our target audience.
Overall Reasoning Behind Choosing Sharna:
Being a 16 year old, Sharna is able to directly relate to our target audience and has the right attitude and persona that we want within the group.  She also works well with people, is known to be reliable and from what was seen within the auditions is confident with working with new people.

Regina - Singing either Troy or Martika's  Part

Regina Okeke
When we were first advertising that we needed three girls to take part in a music video, Regina was extremely enthusiastic and up for the challenge.  Due to her initial response, we knew that she would be dedicated and would help motivate others to come to the auditions.  However, Regina at first decided that she would prefer to be an extra in the video but when asked again was up for being a main character.  Also attending Graveney School, it will be easy to contact her and inform her on any decisions that we make as a group.  At the moment in the early stages of planning, we are unsure as to whether Regina will be singing the lyrics of Martika or Troy.  This is because she is very versatile and therefore we want to test what persona she best suits on screen.
Overall Reasoning Behind Choosing Regina
Similarly to Sharna, we believe that Regina will be dedicated and committed to being in the video and her natural versatility means that we will not be restricted when filming her.  She is also extremely friendly and listens carefully to direction so shooting her will hopefully raise minimal issues.

Shamilla Simms

  

Shamilla - Troy or Martika

Being a member of the production group, Shamilla Simms filled in to be one of the main girls.  This was due to the original girls that we had being unable to film when we planned the filming schedule.  As a member of the production team, Shamilla knows the importance of meeting deadlines and will definitely be 100% committed to making the music video a success.
A bonus of working with Shamilla being on screen, is that the camera takes naturally to her so the video will hopefully have a natural vibe.  She also gets on extremely well with the other girls, and by being part of the actual acting she is also able to suggest direction and inform me and Tia of what is working effectively.
Overall  Reasoning Behind Choosing Shamilla 
Being a media A2 student herself, Shamilla knows the importance of commitment and dedication and how much effort, time and work goes into filming.  Due to this, she will work her hardest in motivating the other girls to act natural on screen and perform to a high standard.
