Casting My Main Character

Introduction

In this blog post, I am going to explore the possibilities that I have for the main character. I aim to come to a reasonable conclusion. I will make my decision by comparing the strengths and weaknesses of using each person.


Possibilities

I have a few options for who I could use for my opening sequence main character. These options are, presented in the form of table:

Decision making

I have decided that I shall use a female character, this is as I believe females are able to:

• Experiment with make up and costume more.
• Portray more emotion
• Silhouettes with appear better

This means that I now only have 3 choice left, these are Frank, Louise and Belinda.

Belinda 

As Belinda does not have long hair, this could mean that when I complete my silhouette idea, I would not be able to hair the to effect. However, she has long nails, which could look good in the close ups of writing, etc.  

Frank

As Frank has long hair this would suit my silhouette idea perfectly,  her hair is also straight so it could work very well. As she goes to my school, this could be convenient for using the school's studio lighting. The studio lighting would be ideal to create my silhouette idea.  

Louise 

Louise also has long hair, again perfect for the silhouette idea. She has a past in acting, so would be used to being filmed.   

Final Decision

I have reached the decision that I while use both Belinda and Louise in my opening sequence. This is as I need someone with long hair for one scene - this is which Louise would be more suited too. Whereas, other scenes I feel that Belinda would be more suited for.
