Character Casting- Final

The Main Characters:

These are the actors who will be playing the main characters in the actual film- Practically Strangers.



Hallie/Girl 1: Rhian Vidler
She will look like a normal stereotypical 18 year old. This will be played by Rhian Vidler as she is near the age therefore she plays a convincing role and helps the audience to see the age of the characters actually are which already give a bit of background knowledge to the audience of their personality this would be through stereotypcial ways such as carrying a handbag/shoulder bag, wearing make up, hair out and the fact that she will be carrying roses throughout the film (as women are normally associated with flowers).

We chose Rhian because she was available to film with us as she also lives close to our filming locations. We also thought that she looks sutiable for the role as a normal British character.

Claire/Girl 2: Payal Jaiprakash
I will be playing the role of Hallie during Test Shoot, this was just to see what each shot looks like. The main reason for this is because there was no one available when we could film and I am also near the age of 18 which will suit the character. My hair will be out and I will carry the a handbag to make a more convincing character. Throughout the film, I will be using a prop of a card.

James (for the picture on the card): Adam
He will be wearing a normal school shirt (perhaps uniform) to show he is young, and the actor playing the part is also young which helps emphasise this and  would help determine that the male in the film is the girl's boyfriend not husband. The way he stands in the picture with the girl will also show the audience a bit about themselves (stereotypical couple who love each other). 

We thought Adam would suit this role because he looks like a normal young British student, who would also suit the main character (Hallie/Rhian). He would also be available whilst we were shooting as he also lives near our filming location.
