Casting

When deciding on the cast of our film we took into consideration the type of characters but also we thought about how accessible different people would be especially when filming needed to be done.


The first character we decided on was the main character, Mark Wilson. He needs to be someone who looks quite tough and strong. Also he needs to be fearless and knowledgeable.
We have chosen to cast me (as a member of our group) to be Mark as I have a preferable build which suits this role quite well with Mark Wilson being a veteran. As I am in the group it also makes a lot of the filming a whole lot easier. I  will be reliable and will attend all the shooting sessions anyway as part of the responsibility of the group. 

We then needed a teenage girl who would start out as a vulnerable character but develop into a strong willed woman. As a group we then decided to cast Rosie Winton (another member of our group). We believe she will suit the role quite well as she is of a similar age and can act quite well. Furthermore she is a member of a group again making filming a whole lot easer even though she doesn't really appear in the opening sequence.

Only close ups or obscured extreme long shots will show Wendy Thornton is dead. The hair colour will need to stand out amongst the pool of blood it will lay in. So we cast Emma Chapman (a member of our group) because of her fair hair.
