Why we included an external actor

We decided to include an external actor on our third attempt filming, simply to strengthen our narrative. We asked a friend of ours, Tom Parkinson to help us out with the acting. Tom's role consisted of playing an antagonist role, from the main character/band members Jem's perspective; as he is considered the protagonist. Although Jem is portrayed as the archetypal character initially to sweep the girl of her feet; the girl however in this instance isn't interested in Jem and instead has eyes for another person, Tom. Tom has been included for overall dramatic effect, taunting Jem throughout the music video. This strengthened our narrative by making it more exciting for the viewer.
