Casting Notes

Main character (Jordan)
For the main character, I wanted to choose somone who could firstly take the job seriously, and then can also be very cheeky and successfully portray a 'couch potato.' This is why I had decided to cast Richard. He visually fits the profile I had envisioned for this character. additionally, in reference to the work I am doing I know he will portray the image that will look the way that looks correct.
As Richard is a very funny person I am confident that he will be able to convey the funny attitude behind my ideas and show the laid back character very successfully.

Mother
For the mother character, I wanted to create as much hilarity as possible. Wendy is one of the funniest people I know and I know can portray this though her body language. I will dress her up in a dressing gown, hair rollers and slippers so she looks like your typical nagging mother. Also given the fact that she is very different to Henry, I think that they will crete an excellent contrast and a very funny scene when they are together. Wendy is more than qualified for this job as she has previously been in my video last year for our thriller film opening, aswell as having done GCSE drama.





Ex-girlfriend
For the ex-girlfriend, I wanted to pick a girl who could fulfil the male gaze section of the film. It was important for me to use a woman who could dress slightly provocatively but also could get away with being rude as the lyrics suggest. I decided to pick Kia because I am sure that she will be able to successfully portray all aspects of this role.
