Initial characters and cast

For our music video, the main characters will be:

• Viking group
• The school children playing at the end of the video
• The headmaster of the school, who calls the children in for lessons

The Viking group should bring some realistic footage to our video. We plan to have an authentic looking battle, which will allow the audience to engage with them by seeing the action of their fighting. The cast for this group will be the Wuffa Re-enactment group of Gorleston.

The school children should hopefully make the video more relatable. All kids have a great imagination, so by showing this through a pretend/realistic battle, we can really show the full extent of this imagination. For this cast, we plan to use a group of children in year 7 at our sixth form's high school. This was arranged after our teacher mentioned that they enjoyed re-enacting battles, and that they enjoy studying history.

The final character, the headmaster, will hopefully bring some comedy and cleverness to the video. As he turns to reveal a hidden Viking weapon, the audience will become engaged as they realise that he could have been a Viking all along. We do not yet have anyone cast for the role of the headmaster, but will hopefully have a choice within the next few days.
