Casting

I chose Callum Swingler as my male actor because he is very reliable and easy going, this made him easy to work with as he co-operated and followed instructions. Callum also has acting skills from studying A Level Drama & Theatre studies and watching him perform showed me he would be a good choice as an actor. Also, Callum is a young, white male and fits the description of the role we wanted. This was crucial as it helped show how our film challenged stereotypical assumptions of young, white teenagers as anti-social, violent and disruptive members of society. In our film, Callum helped to display this as he played a character who challenged this stereotype and played the victim.

Casting

I chose Temi Ince as my female actor because she is very enthusiastic, helpful and most importantly she is very reliable. Temi has experience in acting as she has a GCSE in Drama and she is used to performing as she is a competitive cheerleader. As did Callum, Temi helped create the vision we wanted for our film. As a young, black female Temi helped to challenge the stereotype of loud, rude and anti-social teenage girls and instead helped show the bravery, courage and caring side to teenage girls.
