Casting Ideas

MAIN FEMALE CHARACTER.
Melina John is an 18 year old Drama Student from Langley Park School for Girls. This actress can adapt the behaviours of the character to fit the suitable portrayal of teenage drug abuse etc that I want to include in my trailer and can physically and verbally create the ideal character. Influenced by Effy Stonem from Skins television program, a TV hit popular to the teenage audience I want to attract. In Skins, Effy develops a mental disorder and experiences 'episodes' of struggle and discomfort in her life, she attends these issues through drug abuse, which in turn seems to heighten these experiences. This is perfect to represent the experience I want the main character to go through and has influenced my ideas, as an example to the way I want Melina to act when shooting for my trailer.

MAIN MALE CHARACTER.
Simon Murphy is a 20 year old male, interested in the performing arts. Inspired by the television program Misfits, Simon can portray this drug and sex driven character similar to Nathan from the popular E4 series. Although the characters Nathan and Dominic are in different situations throughout the story lines of both the series and my trailer, they have similar behaviours and attitudes which I find appropriate to relate to, Nathan is a great example of how I want Simon to act. Nathan represents a rebellious teenager who doesn't think before he act, enjoys drugs and alcohol and has fun, as well as setting himself challenges with the female sex. The actor Robert Sheehan has multiple characters throughout his career who have similar characteristics, for example he stars in a film called CherryBomb, where he also induces drugs and alcohol and chases a particular female.

Another MAIN FEMALE CHARACTER.
Chloe Byerley is a 17 year old ex Drama Student from Langley Park Girls School. She is very capable of manipulating the role of Robyn to suit her own bubbly personality, fitting to the idea of the characters behaviours, Chloe is very skilled at adopting the characters attitudes and portraying the teenage rebellion through performance, similar to the character Liv from a more recent series of Skins.
