The document discusses casting choices and plans for costumes, props, and setting for a film project. It selects Oscar Jenkinson and Georgia Stickley for the lead roles due to their acting experience and ability to portray realistic emotions. Fifteen supporting actors are also chosen who have drama experience through school productions. Costumes will reflect the era's Britpop fashion for youthful scenes and more conservative neutral colors for older scenes to show the characters have become boring over time. Props like a mirror, hairspray, alcohol will establish characters and story elements like getting ready, relationships, and age-appropriate beverages for teenage and adult party scenes.

Actors, Costume and Props
I have decided to cast Oscar Jenkinson as the protagonist because, with his background in background in performing in all of the school productions, he will be able to present the variety of emotions in a very realistic way. I need the acting of this character to be realistic in order for the video to be effective which is something that I think Oscar can easily bring to the role. Also, my intended target audience of 30+ will have been around Oscar’s age (17) when Disco 2000 was released which means that they will be able to relate to his character as they know what it’s like to be a teenager in this era. I have decided to cast Georgia Stickley as Deborah. Once again, she is of the same age as Oscar which will be relatable to my target audience. Through doing drama A level, I believe that Georgia has the acting skills necessary for this role. I got the chance to watch Georgia’s A Level piece for drama and she demonstrated a realistic acting technique that will be perfect for this role. As well as this, Oscar and Georgia are good friends which means that they will have a believable relationship which will work well with the narrative.
Supporting Actors This group of people have agreed to act as party guests in my film. The group consists of: Isabella Rix, Jake Adams, Matilda White, Rosie Mabb, Sophie Bradwell, Eve Soloman, Beth Swan, Sarah Brooks, Sam Whittingham, Rowan Ellwell, Dexter Gibson, Mabel Collins, Faegan White, Toby Matthews and Stanley Gulliford. They all have acting experience having either done GCSE Drama, A Level Drama or been in the productions. They will be convincing actors and are already a group of friends so will have a believable friendship relationship on camera.
In my target audience research, I discovered that 100% of my intended target audience (30+) agreed that the song made them feel nostalgic. Therefore, in order to adhere to this, I have decided to incorporate elements of the era into my video. One of the ways I will do this is through the mise-en-scene of the dress code. In the first party scene where all the characters are in their youth, I intend for them to be wearing fashion which resembles Britpop fashion. Therefore, girls will be in A line skirts and boots and boys will be in mod cut suits or shirts with larger collars. This part of my video will be in black and white so it’ll be difficult to convey colour, therefore, I would like to use lots of patterns to allude to the youth and energy of the characters.
In order to accentuate the idea that the people have grown up and got boring, I plan for my cast to wear more boring, conservative clothing in the second half of my video. This part will be in colour so I intend to use a lot of neutral colours in order to further comply with the idea of boringness.
Above are examples of props I will be using in my video. The mirror will be vital for the bedroom scenes where the protagonist is getting ready. In this scene he will also use hairspray to do his hair. On the mirror will be pictures of him and Deborah which are also important factors to the story because it anchors the idea of Deborah being a love interest for the protagonist. At the party there will be alcohol. In the first party scene where they are all young, the alcohol will consist of beers and alcopops because these are cheaper options which will be more likely to be consumed by teenagers. However, in the second party scene where everyone is grown up, the alcohol will consist more of win and champagne because people will be more likely to have stable jobs and, therefore, more money to spend on alcohol.
