Casting

For casting we used friends and family as it makes it far easier to re-visit filming if ever we needed to and we felt they would be more easy to direct.

For the Daniel character Sam Tyler was chosen as the group felt he was suitable for the role of a younger teenager. As he helped design the shooting script and script I knew what I had to do and this made it easy. Also it was his mother, and we felt that he would act more naturaly with his mother that a stranger would have, as they already have a realtionship. And an authentic feel is what we needed.

For the character of Cynthia we chose Sam Tylers mum as it was easy to use her in her own house and also the mother/son relationship was easy to achieve and less awkward for her to act with sam than a random teenager. as sam is her son.

We chose our friend Andrew Hawkins to act as Lukas, he is a very accomplished actor who studies Theatre and has been a principal in the school production, we felt he suited the role and had experience to act naturally. He is also very expreaince in school productions as well as out of school acting, he is of a tall and slender build which makes him look alot older in a suit, and more mature than he otherwise would.

For the character of Herman we casted Edward Wills-Wood, he is a good friend of ours and matched the appearance of the character and he is tall and could easily fiot the role of a german as he looks like you would imagine a german, adding to the versamilitude and we felt he could act the role perfectly, even though he had little acting experiance, the role that he played involved little talking, and just walking alot the bridge making his role relitively easily.
