MILLIE

Niamh McloughLin is playing Millie, an average grade school girl who is bored of her repeated everyday life. Her upbringing was bright however simple and very much repeated. This has influenced on the way she acts when not around her family, almost a different person, Millie behaves mischievous. She likes to act up around her friends and usually finds herself detention or the head teacher’s office.  Millie has a strong circle of friends and is the ‘popular’ girl out of all of them, she has a tighter group of two best friends that she considers herself closest to and can trust with almost anything. She is the type of girl to try new things, some good some bad and no matter what the outcome can get always get away with it; Just like the old saying 'getting away with murder'. The wild choices she makes and crazy things she does are all a reflection of the person inside her she has always wanted to set free inside of her and even though we see the reckless teen she is, we are still reminded that she is still a young school girl experiencing different things (much like other young people) when she wakes up(in the music video) in a classroom and laughs at her outrageous daydream. 

Character Profile

Danielle

Brooke Shannon will play Danielle, a typical 'blonde' who follows her friends and the 'ditsy' one of the group. From a young age she has always been the stereotypical 'dumb' blonde who tries to fit in with everyone else by following the crowd. Unlike Millie, she isn't as brave and as confident in willing to try new things however if it means she will boost her popularity there is no doubt she would say yes. Her upbringing was good and she was spoilt and showered in good things and designer clothes, a very happy child indeed. She is also in the circle of group Millie is in and looks to Millie as her best friend and someone who is always there for her. Even though she can be wary when it comes to dangerous things, she loves to draw any attention to her and her group and loves being fun and flirty. She always takes pride in what she looks like and will not go a day without her make-up bag and hair straighteners.

Character Profile

 Mia

Tasnim Khanom plays Mia, a girl with a banter filled heart however a very strong and aggressive mind. To the people she loves and cares for (her friends, family etc.) she can be a respectful and kind yet funny like a 'joker' kind of girl, however if you get on the wrong side of her and annoy her she can be aggressive and extremely threatening even though she probably doesn't intend to be. She was brought up in family of plenty of people (more then 7 in a house) and never got any single one to one attention, she finds this almost awkward to talk about in her everyday life. Her friends are Millie and Friend 1 and she loves her time with them, she tries new things with Millie and doesn't care about the consequence, a consequence to her is exhilarating and fun. She likes fights and tries to put herself in a destructive atmosphere. She bunks school alot and doesn't think that much of eduction and making a living, her upbringing has put her off kids and she doesn't have that much time for younger people. Her life is with trouble making, Millie and Danielle and her loved ones(family).

 

 We chose Niamh to play Millie as we feel she suits the role the most. This is because we feel she is committed enough to play the main role and she she is confident with acting and lip singing in the video.

We knew Niamh would have enough spare time to commit and spend time on filming so we knew we could rely on her as the main character. She also looks very much how we imagine so would be perfect for the role. She was confident when picking our chose of song and knew the lyrics already which made us feel she would be best playing Millie.
