Planning - Casting For Your Opening

Introduction

The reason for making this page is to help me and my group decide who will be playing the characters in our film and why. This page will help us though-out the rest of our planning as it will help are decisions in mise-en-scene, shot list and treatment.
1 

Name: George                        

Characters name: Chad

Age: 16                                  

Characters age: 18

Personality:  George is a joker that stays to him self but talks to anyone when he wants.

Characters personality: The character John is annoying,rude and acts like a jock and a joker. He is the oldest of the group so he picks on people but says its a joker and doesn't notice he can hurt peoples feelings. John and Allison are a couple and there relationship is a typical horror movie relationship as there personality and physical appearance is what you normal see in a horror movie or any movie.

Reason for picking George:We picked George to play John as he physically and mentally suits the character. We all know that George is confident and will do what we say in front of the camera.

 Name: Alex                    

Characters name: Billy

Age: 16                                    

Characters age: 17

Personality: Alex is sometimes quiet but also very confident and sometimes annoying. His look is a typical teenage boy with a bit of a chilled out vibe.

Characters personality: The characters personality is somewhat the same as Alex's as in the clothes he wears. The difference between them is that Billy is has a slow chilled out vibe to him and when he talks its either a joke or something rude.

Reason for picking Alex: The reason we picked Alex was that we all knew that he would suit the part because his looks matches the characters name and personality. Also half of his personality is the same as the character Billy we want him to play.

Name: Ophelia              

 Characters name: Jodie

Age:  16                                  

Characters age:  16

Personality:Ophelia is unique, loud and confident but also resembles the typical social media geek. She is kind and sometimes a bit strange but in a good way.

Characters personality:The characters personality is she is a quite,shy girl that looks cute as in she wears glasses and band T-shirts.Jodie is the youngest of the group and keeps herself excluded when she doesn't want to speak her mind. She has moments when she is confident and leads the group in certain situations which no body would expect.

Reason for picking: We picked Ophelia as she defiantly looks like Jodie's personality. We also picked her as she has a feel of acting from GCSE. As well Ophelia's unique confident side would match Jodie's confident part of her personality successfully.

Characters name:  Tim

Age: 16

Characters personality: The character we want Ashley to play is gay,shy and smart.He wears very urban geek clothes that include boots,beanie and bland tops.

Reason for picking Ashley: We chose Ashley as he has a shy,chilled side what he can put into the character. Ashley also does A level drama and did GCSE drama, so we know that he is not afraid to get in front of a camera and do what we say.

Name: Alice                      

Characters name: 'The girl in white'

Age:  16                                  

Characters age: 12

Personality: Alice is sweet,kind,cheerful and funny. She wears cute normal girly clothes but can act very boyish.                  

Characters personality: The character we want Alice to play hasn't really got a personality but she looks dull,dark and lifeless. The character walks slow but with a blank sad looking on her face.

Reason for picking Alice: The reason we picked Alice was because she is small and young looking so she would suit being a 12 year old. As well we wanted the girl to look scary but still cute and Alice's long dark brown/black hair and olive skin perfectly mirrors the girls image.
