Our video included a lot of characters and because if this it took some organising to make sure everyone could make it too the shoot. Our main character 'the Traveller' was played by two people. We organised the shoots through Facebook at a time when everyone was available. If one person couldn't make the shoot we could use the other person as the traveller. During our video we used a narrative enigma surrounding our traveller which was useful as we could change the costume easily as Tom and Andy where similar builds. This meant the audience wouldn't notice the change in character, this was shown through our audience feedback.

For the other characters we used a few different techniques to organise the actors. First of all for the party scene we had to organise a few people. We got a number of people who we thought would be willing and interested to appear in the video and added them to a private message. From there we could organise dates and times when everyone was available to film. Another way we got people to act in our video was to ask around in the sixth form centre for volunteers. We got a couple of people to film a busking scene, however this wasn't included in the final cut.
List of characters we filmed:
- Tom (traveller/daft punk/cards/party)
- Andy (traveller/daft punk/magazine seller)
- Will (skating)
- Beth (taxi driver)
- Daniel (break dancing)
- Charlie (original traveller)
- Bakers (bakery)
- Danny (buskers)
- Barker (biking/party)
- Jack (biking)
- Luke (lift/party)
- Vicky (party)
- James (party)
As you can see from this list there are lot of different characters in our video we took some organising. Whether that was planning a specific time and date or managing to get to a location.
