Homewrecker... Music Video Details

Video statistics

The actual Marina and The Diamonds video had the details disabled so I searched youtube for a song with the lyrics. I think this shows what the target audience of the song is, even if it is not the official video...

Profiles of chosen actors

1. Robert Langthorp

Studies: Economics at Newcastle University
Age: 19

I chose Rob as he is well-suited for my music video and fits the type of boys I am looking for to feature in it. He is also quite good at acting, although he lives far away he is very willing to do this for me and we will have quite a few opportunities to meet up to do all the filming I need to.

2. Jack Harrison

Studies: Physical Education, Psychology, and English

Age: 17

I chose Jack to be in music video as he is a life long friend who coincidentally has always been good at acting and being dramatic and fits the role. We do not go to the same school but he lives very close to me so we will definitely be able to meet up for filming.

3. Jamie Atkinson

Studies: Chemistry, Physics and Maths

I chose Jamie to be in my music video as he is good at acting, loves to have fun and is a really good friend of mine. He fits in with the age range and type of boy I am looking for and is willing to be in my video!

4. Zoe Smith
