A camera test is an important part of the search for the appropriate actors recruited to play the characters in our pop promo. The test consists of filming each of our actors performing actions relating to their assigned roles. It is only necessary to film them individually for a short amount of time; time enough to instigate the point of a camera test which is to see if the chosen actor works well on camera. Working well on camera does not necessarily mean that they are attractive but rather they have presence such as successful screen actors like Jack Nicholson or Benicio Del Toro.
We did do a camera test with three potential characters for each of the four members of our band. We had them talking to the camera, playing their instruments and just chilling out as we filmed for the test. Unfortunatly the media dep. at our school has lost the material otherwise it would be here...
