Casting

The casting of this role will be very important. This is because the actress that we have to cast will be the only cast member in the opening sequence. We looking at weather we would cast a male of female, it soon became clear that we wanted to cast a female as we felt that a girl would fit in much more with the narrative than a boy would. Next we considered the age of the actress. I did not want her to be too young as she may not have got much acting experience, and felt that the role would be best played by a girl aged around 15-17. Finally the appearance of the girl would also be important. I wanted to to be stereotypically pretty but not to be over the top, as it was not important to the narrative. When considering all of these factors, i looked at 3 different actresses. These were Amy (top) Georgina (Left) and Antonia (right). I also did a test to see if all actress were able to play the role, in the way that i wanted it to be portrayed. In this i asked the to act of some of the scenes that i wanted to be in my film opening.

   

After careful consideration i decided to choose Antonia as the actress that i wanted to use in my film. This was becuase she has previous acting expriecne, is usually available and also lives near to the location that we want to film in. She also fits in with all of the      characteristics that i wanted our lead actress to have
