After our auditions the final cast is:
Alex Glenn - Alex Heath
I decided that Alex would be best for the role due to the fact that he has so much drama experience, and he put on the best performance during auditions. He is used to the filming set up and due to the fact we have known each other for a long time it makes the task less daunting as it is just filming a friend.
India Simmons - Alex's sister
I thought India would be best as she looks the most like Alex out of all of those who auditioned, so she would be the most convincing for the part. She also seemed the most excited about the idea of being in the opening.
For a more detailed analyse of the cast members please see my potential cast blog post.
What costumes will the cast be wearing?
Both characters will be wearing their own clothing as I wanted the actors to both look and feel as natural as possible to give a more convincing performance, and as also I want the costume to be quite simple so as to not distract from the plotline; as I feel that if I went for more striking costume choices it could confuse the audience by drawing their focus away from what is actually happening within the opening, as they would be more concerned with why the characters are dressed like that then the actual plot. I want Alex to be in more old fashioned clothing to portray that he is against the more modern trends, which will create that irony within his character as he is addicted to technology. His sister will just be in basic modern day fashion so not to distract the focus of the audience of other aspects of the movie opening.
