Each of our actresses/actors were chosen carefully as we wanted them to share some traits with the characters they were playing. I think we were successful in doing this and here are the actresses and actor playing in the film.
Charlotte is playing the character Abby, we chose her as we thought they are very similar in the way we imagined Abby to look (simple and pretty) and also isn’t too outgoing so the shy and unpopular trait doesn’t seem unusual when Charlotte is acting.
Ellie De Carle will be playing Abby’s best friend Ella. We decided to choose her as both Ellie and Ella both have very fun and quirky personalities. Charlotte and Ellie are also good friends so we were hoping that this would be present on camera.
Harry Shakeshaft was chosen to play Abby’s crush Chris. We chose Harry as we wanted to have a good looking, athletic character for Abby to fancy and Harry fitted the description well.
For this task our group decided to ask around our school firstly, what their favourite film opening is and why, and also what they would expect to see in the opening sequence of a film aimed at people their age.
