Actor Research

This is one of the hardest decisions to make during the research process as it is vital we choose the right actors to fit the character roles. If the actor does not fit the criteria, it could give the film opening a jarring feel to it. Our film opening is based on a newspaper article so we have complete freedom as to what we want our actors to look like as there is no 'character' to go by. We know that our close friend Phoebe has an interest in drama and achieved an A* grade at GCSE. She is an obvious choice for the lead female role. The leading male role takes the most amount of thinking and decision making because it is the most important role. We have started thinking about male actor options and have decided a friend of ours would fit the bill as we know he has an interest in drama and has also been in school productions at his secondary school. For the second female role (the woman Daniel is cheating with) does not need to be thought about very carefully because we know you will not see her face (enigma element) and she only had a very short line. This means that this role will be the last role to be cast and we just need to ask one of our other female friends who will be free at the time. We will organise all the actor roles and filming times before we break up for February half-term so that when we come back to school everything will be sorted for the day of filming and we will not need to worry about it during the break.
