Casting Actors

It was my job to decide who should act in our film. I came to the conclusion that Josh Coe and Heather McDonald should act as they both match the characters with their gender, they will have a very clear understanding of what needs to be done within deadlines and also it will be for the best if I direct the two of them.

Hiring Actors- The Problem

As I was given the task of trying to recruit actors, I decided to take inspiration from a former called Sam Shepherd; the student posted a listing on Starnow.co.uk.

After a fair amount of time, I later found out that unfortunately to post the listing, you must be over 18 years of age. Due to this, our group are unable to hire free, professional actors therefore we have decided to act ourselves. It will be harder to keep to the conventional Film Noir aspects with teenagers as the main characters so we now have more of a Neo Noir twist to the film.
