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.
