We intend to use actors from our group instead of people who are not taking media AS as we believe it will be easier and safer to use people we know, trust and have experience in how things work at a shoot etc.
As well as this we intend our shoot to be at night/early morning. This means it will be difficult to convince actors to turn up on time or even turn up at all. As two members of our group, Lewis and Sam, are taking Drama AS it just makes sense to utilise them and keep things simple.
Our main character, Jack, is a seventeen year old boy who comes from a rough, working class background. As we ourselves are approaching 17 this again is a perfect reason to use people within our group as actors.
Jack stumbles across two men dragging a corpse through the forest, these characters will be played again by members of our group, as it will be dark and we plan to use large coats and cover the mens' faces it will be impossible to tell that they arn't fully grown men. A bonus to this is that there is little dialogue within our opening sequence meaning that we wont hear them speak, this further supports our casting options.
