Casting

As part of the planning stage of our film we had to consider casting. This is an important issue as the cast must both be able to act and have the right look for the style of our film, as our characters types have to be established very quickly because this is a short film.

We chose to use Alex as the main character of our film because he does not fit the stereotype of a racist, our film shows that anyone can be racist, despite the contextual factors of their life.

We chose Adeel to play his asian friend as he best fitted the role. Adeel has an intimidating look about him, which suits our style of short film. It was decided by the group that A-Level drama students should be used as they have more skill than most. Both cast members are very talented and do A-Level drama together, so work well with eachother.
