Main actress in music video

At the moment, my music video is to feature a single main character who will be played by 'Lily Picton March'.  

I chose her to be my actress because she is willing to help with my production and even played an acting role within another one of her friend's media courseworks - so she has atleast a bit of experience with acting. 

Another reason why I chose her to be my actress is because I feel she has the capability to display the conflictingly deep but also empty emotions that I'm looking for in my character. She is also very reliable at keeping to schedules and I can count on her to turn up. 

Having a female character in my video could help female audiences to relate and identify with her character and my music video. However, I don't think that this necessarily will effect how male audiences view the video - it is still sung by a male and the music itself is the defining content while music videos are additional experiences. 

Having already tested out make ups and costumes I'm extremely pleased with the overall look - edgy and jarring but still 'pretty' and photogenic - which can help in the overall aesthetic of the video.
