Casting

After planning all our shots and different camera angles we have been able to cut this list down as obviously finding 6 students who are all free at the same time in the middle of their A-Levels could have been a problem. In the interview with the female victim, we are going to try and make an effect using lights so that you cannot see her face, only her silhouette like this (leaving her to remain anonymous):

We actually thought of this before thinking of the amount of actors we would need but we then realised it had more than one advantage. It shows our camera skills but also means that we can use the same girl for the reconstruction and the interview. The name of the actress is Lydia Whittle. We knew we would be able to trust her as we used her last year in our media coursework and her GCSE and A-Level drama experience clearly shows in the filming. (Picture of Lydia below)

We couldn't find another girl who was free to film on the day we want to so I said I would act as the female friend as it it just a tripod shot. (Myself pictured below)



We had already decided we wanted to use Elliot Williamson for our attacker as he also acted in out media coursework last year and was very good. We decided that he should be used for the reconstruction and not the 'real footage' as the CCTV footage which we were going to shoot was only taken from ahead and as he was the best male actor we had we thought it would be best to use him to his full advantage. (Picture of Elliot below)

Matt Burge said that he would act out the CCTV footage as it is just going to be a walk around the carpark so although he is in our filming group, he wont be missing out on much as it is just going to be a tripod shot. (Picture of Matt below)

The final two people we needed to cast was the person who will intervene in the attack and talk about it in an interview, and the person who will intervene in the reconstruction. Because we have already planned our shots we know that the rescuers face wont be seen and also it will be dark so we will be using the same person for both. Anish Godwin Patel is the actor we chose.
