Casting Notes


Casting Notes
 
We picked Wendy to play our bully. We chose her as we knew she would completely throw herself into the role. She has the ability to contrast from her normal loving self, to portraying a very intimidating side. This is good as the intimidation would be what the audience would expect of her character.  Her pass of GCSE drama and from observation of her brilliant acting enables her to be successful in our film. We have full faith in the fact she will take this seriously.  We will dress her in red to show her danger or if to be interpreted differently at the end, as her being loving as she wants to make amends for the bullying. The red is a prolepsis of what is to come in the future.


 
We picked Amy to play our Victim as we know she will be able to portray vulnerability, but with an unpredictability enabling her to contrast the emotions of this character. Amy regularly par-takes in shows for her dancing school so she has experience in performing.  We like the fact that her hair is long and black as this is usually used in films to create an abnormality and scariness about a female, symbolising depression, for example the grudge (kayako), the ring (samara)  and Adams family (Wednesday). We plan to dress her up in very plain full black due to her depression and the blankness creates mystery. With some very pale make up on her skin tone we can disguise the mental look with just a look of distress.
