For my music video I wanted the lead actor to be confident in terms of lip syncing. Harry has had experienced in music so I asked him to take responsibility as the main character and most important member of the cast. His fashion sense suits the mise en scene of the music video as he dresses like the stereotypical indie rock fan. He looks slightly older than the other members of the cast and is versatile in the different roles he will play.

I conducted an interview with Harry before assigning him to his role as lead actor. I had previously considered other candidates but Harry spoke confidently in front of the camera. I asked how his inclusion to the group would benefit my music video and what his initial thoughts were on playing his role in the music video. While he spoke confidently he needed to be able to lip sync confidently when being filmed so I made a lip sync challenge video for him. Making the video helped me improve my editing ability on Premier Pro as I had to cut parts of the video out and get the clips to overlap each other. I also made a title for the start of the video which is embedded from Youtube and starts around 30 seconds in.
