Final Casting

We decided our final casting.

In terms of the  female character, it will be Fabiha's sister, Humayra because even though we did as other students in collee and friends, they did not want to or they were too busy to participate. Fabiha's sister is a suitable character and was chosen mainly because we cannot afford to pay a real actress to act for us, that is why we had to chose a family memeber or a friend. Humayra is 16, which is the perfect age to rapresent youth. She is asian and we alked about how our actress and actor are most likely to be asian due to that is the ethnic majority of the area we are from. Although our ideal female character was white, as the one we researched, we could not find a teenage white girl available so that was a limitation we came across.

In terms of the male character, we were intially planning and even researched a black boy because we were trying to be stereotypical due to how typical gangsters seem to be black. However, like the female character, we did not find any black teenage boy available to act for us. We ended up choosing our class mate, Umed, who is 17 years old and that is the perfect age to rapesent the boy. He was the only boy available to act for us. We thought he had the right features such as a skinny body and quite tall.

CASTING DECISION EVIDENCE

However, here is the proof that we did ask other people if they were available or not. I used whats app to ask Imran, our class mate, if he wanted to be our male charatcer for our film opening. As you can see he is busy with a levels, therefore is not available.  

Here is another proof of me asking my friend Nusharat if she would like to be the actress for our film opening but again, she is busy with a levels, therefore it was not possible for her to be available for us.

However here we have the screenshot of Fabiha asking our final actor and actress. Here she asked her sister, Humayra on Imessage and she immeditaly said yes to being our official female character.

Here, Fabiha is asking Umed if he would like to be our male character in the opening through whats app and he said yes too.

After making sure that Umed and Humayra were going to take part in our coursework as the casting we made plans and decided the dates we are going to choos to meet uo and film. This way we will complete the task in time before the deadline and everything will be more organised.
