Casting

After looking at the results from the audience research, and discussing amongst the team, we decided that we should aim to find an actor that is male and middle-aged. It didn't really matter what age or gender the dead character would be, as it would achieve the same effect.

 

Main Character

 

After a discussion about possible main characters who would be available on the date of filming, we decided that Ollie's stepdad, Mark (as seen on the right) would be a suitable actor. Mark fitted the age bracket we were looking for, and didn't mind travelling to the medical centre in Gillingham.

 

Dead Character

 

As it didn't matter what age or gender this character was as it would still achieve the same effect, I stepped forward to act. This meant that we wouldn't have to rely on external actors to turn up. Because I am slightly smaller than the other members of my group, it meant that it would be easier for me to be portrayed as weak in the film, making the film seem more realistic.
