For my film I wanted people that I knew would be reliable and sensible and not let me down. I also wanted someone who was very inexperienced at acting to give the film the awkward vibe I wanted. This led me to cast Jordan Davis, my long time friend (and star of my AS project) to take the role of 'Boy' and make it his own. For the role of 'Girl' I wanted someone who was slightly more experienced and comfortable in front of the camera, which led me to cast Sarah Mooney, school friend and stage group member.
With Sarah's experience and Jordan's awkwardness I knew I had the perfect cast for my film and that I was ready to go. Both of them turned up to the meet before me, had learnt the scripts off by heart and were really excited about filming.
They both put ideas forward about different shots, scenes and lines of dialogue and were really willing to do anything I asked of them. They made the whole process very easy from start to finish and both provided exactly what I wanted. Awkwardness and confidence.
