R+P Post 16: Casting

For our main shoot we created a cast list. This included the names of the characters, a brief description of their background, a head shot of the actor and details of the actor.

We chose Celine to play our main character, Grace, because we felt that due to the fact that she did A-Level drama, she would be a confident and capable actor. Furthermore contributed to the racial diversity that we were aiming for in producing our sequence.

Josh and I were chosen to play the characters with brief roles, Ella and Anthony because we decided that it would be easier to organise rather than have to rely on two extra actors. It would be also be easier as due to the small size of the roles, it would not be worth asking two people to give up their time for.

The cast list was useful in briefing our actors as it helped them step into the character and gain some quick knowledge of them.
