Casting

At our school drama department, our AS level theatre studies students prepared a short monologue to show me and the rest of my classmates in order to be cast in our film openings. Although their pieces were fantastic, we needed someone who looked like they were from the 1920s so that our film would be more realistic. Fortunately, Pip's friend Iona, who has had previous experience with acting, looks exactly right for our opening.

To cast the wedding guests, we will be using Pip's family members: her parents, her nan and her two sisters. We will also be using Pip's neighbour to increase the number of actors and make the wedding scene more realistic with more people in. We are going to do this because they live next door to our filming location, so it is much easier to ensure that our actors are there on time and are ready to shoot, so that we can get the filming done quicker and more efficiently than bringing in lots of actors who may live far away from Hadlow Tower.

I think that we have cast our opening very well, and I am excited to work with them when we begin filming for our final opening.
