Tamsin Keeley- Tamsin played a girl who had started a fire which killed her room mates, her performance was compelling and shocking, and she was able to engage the audience successfully. She's had acting experience before, being part of Stag Youth Theatre, NT and performed in a production of 'Much Ado About Nothing' at Tonbridge School. We feel she would be appropriate for our film because she is the correct age and her hair color, red, will give connotations of anger and fiestiness, which our character needs, she's also had filming experience, being a part of a Wild Wing Arts production.We also took note of her very expressive face. As the character does not talk for the majority of the opening this will be key to portraying her depressed and drunken state.
However, she has been cast in a number of Media Studies pieces, we have taken the decision not to use her as A, our piece may look unoriginal, with the same girl appearing in several other films, and B, we don't want to put her under any more pressure, as filming can be time consuming.
Liv Chadbon- We have decided to cast Liv as our lead for the following reasons:
- Liv has had experience acting with her previously and is confident that she will be able to portray our character
- We also need someone to play her mother, and her mum is available, so we have the advantage of them looking similar and having picture of Liv with her when she was younger.
- She has had experience in front of a camera, and has had several main cast roles in Tonbridge School productions
- She is Liv's mother therefore she will be able to interact with Liv with ease and they will look alike
- Gaining pictures of the two together from a variety of ages will be easy
- She is a confident and bubbly person who will be able to act upon our instruction
