We chose Grace Peacock because she was a GCSE drama student and we could be able to explain to her what we wanted and knew she had experience with acting. Her long blonde hair worked for the aesthetic we were aiming for. The white blonde of her hair also contrasted with the darkness of the alleyway and the shadows of the trees. We also knew her from lessons at school and knew that she would be free after school when we wanted to film.
For our main male character we needed a young adult male in his early twenties. He would need to follow Grace down the alleyway in the dark.
We chose Lewis Hunt because he is 23 and would work for the slightly older man that we wanted to be following Grace down the alleyway. We wanted someone in their 20's who was older than Grace but not too old. His dark hair and the fact he had his hood up helped his face be cast into shadow. We knew that because he is Ali's older brother we could ask him to film with us and he would be free after school when we wanted to film.
For our men, in suits, playing the chess game we wanted 2 young adult males who would be willing to appear in our film and partake in smoking and a game of chess. We decided on Rakib Hussain and Ali Hunt to play these characters. Ali was already part of the filming and directing group, and is taking drama at A level and it made sense to have him playing one of our lead males. We chose Rakib because he was free after school, but also because we believed he would be able to play the part well. Both were free after school when we wanted to film, both of them already smoked which helped with the aesthetic we wished to achieve and both had suits which were the costumes we wished them to be wearing.This was done by Amy Roberts (me) and all actors were chosen as a group.
