casting

We used Alan and Eden as the main characters in our film as they where easy to get, as they were already involved with the film. This meant we didn’t have to explain the idea of the film to people and we had less people to arrange some time when everyone was free and there was still daylight. A downside to this was that they are not the best actors and there was no dialogue but we were hoping to get around this with a narration in the background. We didn’t have to get extras as general people walking around works OK. This also helped with peoples reactions as they might of looked weirdly at our actors and therefor helping the scene.

We thought this would be OK as long as we drooped in a big name actor/ actress. We found that from other thrillers such as paycheck and fight club that they leave the lead role to the less known actor ( in our case Eden and Alan) and have the support played by someone like Ben Affleck or Brad Pit. This gives the actors their opening 'break' and lets the institution know about new talent.
