Casting choice

For my cast, I have asked a student who took drama for GCSE and AS level. He has agreed to be my main character, the head teacher. He doesn’t go to my school, which would be easier, however he is a very good actor and I believe that he would play the character exactly how I want him to play. I have also asked him if he has a suit that he could wear for his role and he said that he has one that he can wear. This will be his main costume as he will be wearing this for most of the trailer.

I have also asked a number of students in my media class to take part in the first clip of my trailer in which several students are talking about the school. As there will not be a school uniform at the school that I am filming about, they are able to wear just what they want. I may also ask younger year students to say something as they will be in uniform and will make it look more like this is about the whole school and not just the sixth form.
