The actors I am recruiting are the band members I play regularly with. Obviously that is super convenient as it also means there is an already established relationship between us four. In a real world environment working on a live brief I would aim to establish some kind of understanding and relationship with the band before shooting any content otherwise it may be misinformed. Obviously with paying clients there are certain expectations that need to be met therefore I would have to prep and research the bands ethos extensively prior to shooting any content for them.
Because this is a mock up of a real world scenario I wanted to get real musicians because developing sill with an instrument takes years of practise. Therefore having someone try and fake it on the same day as the shoot would cause all authenticity to be lost.
