Our first candidate was Ryan. We filmed Ryan lip syncing the first lines of our chosen song. This was to determine whether he was a suitable choice for our role. Additionally, this allowed us to gage the realism of his lip syncing, including timing and mouth movements.
Ryan was good as he showed emotion in his lip syncing, and proved to be very animated when doing so. His mouth movements were good, and it gave the illusion that he could've actually been singing.
However, we would like an actor who was slightly less animated in terms of facial expressions, due to our narrative of the character being in a dream state.
Our second actor was Peter. We did the same song with Peter as we did with Ryan, however had him sing a different line.
Peter was good because he memorized the lyrics well, and his timing was also very good. However, his mouth movements were not believable, and could not be related to the artist. This meant that the lip syncing looked unrealistic, and therefore eradicated from the potential candidates.
Our final actor was Connar. Similarly to Peter and Ryan, we filmed Connar singing a section of the chosen song by SBTRKT.
Connar was good because he was not only successful in remembering the words and lip syncing them extremely well, but he also met the type of singer we wanted to meet our narrative.
After these two carried out there auditions, we felt they didn't match the criteria of person that we required to play the role in our music video. Therefore, we continued to look for different actors elsewhere. We ended up finding Connar who we felt played the role of our music artist a lot better.
To summarize, we will intend on using Connar to act in our piece. This is because he met the type of actor we want in our piece, as well as the fact he was extremely efficient in lip syncing the lyrics to the song, and made his character very believable.
