Actors

The actors can be one of the most important parts of a film. They allow the audience to form emotional connections and often place themselves in the characters shoes if they perform well. Actors are the main key to making a film believable and if they are not able to very accurately portray a scene then it can completely ruin realism and the audiences emotional connection to the character.

For my film I will be using two actors. Both of them have a past experience with drama from high school and sixth form and have performed in plays before. This will hopefully allow them to effectively set the scene and give the audience some depth to the characters.

Another thing that is key when getting an actor is having someone that would be believable as the character in the story. For example you would not want a 60 year old man playing the role of a high school student.
With this I have been lucky to an extent as my main character does resemble the actor to an extent and also the age range is perfect when it actually comes to who is likely to get the mental illness the character develops.
