Casting

This is Katie who will be acting in my film opening:

Reliable?
The person I have cast to play the role of the victim in my film opening is my sister Katie. She will be the only character that actually appears on screen in my opening because the antagonist is never actually shown in any shots. This makes the task easier as I only have to coordinate when/which days to film with one actor and not have to coordinate when lots of other actors are all free. I will be filming in my half term and Katie has the same half term as me so therefore we will easily be able to correspond the times we are both free. Katie is a reliable cast member because we live in the same house and we're both easily able to get to the locations I've chosen to film in therefore there should hopefully be no complications.

Mise En Scene
The character in my film is a 15-16 year old teenage girl and Katie is 16 so I feel she will accurately represent the character I have pictured for my film opening. The character is meant to be a fairly young girl who is abducted whilst walking home from school, Katie goes to school still and walks home so I feel like she is fairly similar to the character I've picked and will be able to introduce the character effectively to the audience. Her hair is very curly and wild which represents her to be young and self thinking which is appropriate for my character. This idea that she is self thinking also indicates her to be vulnerable and at risk.

Preferred Reading
I think the audience will see the actor as being quite young and vulnerable. The idea that she is walking through an empty field alone will represent that she is at risk which is what I want. Her age of 16 is a good age as lots of people think of teenagers as being quite naive and helpless which is what I want them to think of my character.
