Casting

For casting, there are various things we would need to do. Firstly, we might need the actors to look a certain way in order to fit in with the narrative of the opening. For example, we will need three actresses to have long, dark hair. This may be difficult to find, so we might need to compromise by giving them wigs or something like that. We could ask some of our friends also in sixth form to do the acting for us, but there is a chance they could get distracted and we would take much longer than planned for filming. We would also maybe need to consider asking people if they would consider auditioning for the part they would like to do, because there would be many complications if the person we wanted for the part didn't look the way we wanted them to

We would want each of the characters to represent their gender sufficiently, so when we find the actors we would need to assess if they would be able to pull off the character, and if they look alike the idea we have in our heads. If not, we may have to take into consideration the fact that it may cost money to buy things, such as if the actresses we need don't have long hair we will need to spend extra money on them having a wig so they would be able to fit in with the narrative. Each actor we choose to be in our act will have to have a photo taken, then we will post on each of our blogs and describe how well they fit the role and if they will need anything extra- as in costumes, makeup, etc in order to fit in with the role.

In total we will need six actresses- three women for the doll parts, then a woman will need to play the part of the victim, then we will need a couple of actors to play for the flashbacks and one of them will need to act as the partner for the victim and the other one will need to act as the father, or maybe a sibling if we don't find someone who could pass as old enough for a teenagers' father. We would need to check with all of the cast if they would be free on the days that me and Hannah would be available to film them, then we would need to arrange times and places to film, which could cost money, which we need to take into consideration. There would be various things we would need to take into consideration, and these would all need to be talked about before we go ahead and film everything.
