Planning- casting

My short film involves two main characters and shows a montage of their past showing multiple dates and events they have been to. In one of the shots we will be showing the couple moving in together which in reality would suggest they are in their 20's. However, only actors around our own age are available to us therefore, we have decided to us two mature peers who have previous experience in acting.

For the male character we wanted him to have some strong facial attributes and ideally to be tall as in my film i want the male to be more dominant and masculine throughout the film. Our male actor will be Ollie Poole and throughout the film he will need to show a range of different emotions towards his other half.


Another reason for using these two characters is that in reality they are a couple which means that in our film there will already be a relationship between the both and they wont have to fake the romance aspect of the film. Meaning that we will hopefully be able to produce a more authentic romance genre.










The second character is a girl as we wanted to involve a heterosexual couple within our film as last year we did the opposite and we think that we should change it for this year. The female actress that we have chosen is Emily Farr as she fits the role to our film well and she is also on my A level media course currently meaning that she also has experience about conventions of a romance genre. For our female actress we wanted feminine attributes and for her to be smaller than the male which she is.
