The actor that we have cast for the role of Martha, is a female aged 16. Her appearance matches the specifications that we had previously set. Her nose ring characterises her separation from the other characters and helps to emphasise her rebellious nature. Martha (the actor) is an A level drama student, and therefore she is equip to play the role of a complex character. Her previous experience working in a filming environment means that she will be able to adhere easily to our direction. In addition, her on-screen presence is believable and adapts well to the other characters.
The character of Noah will be played by Ollie. After holding auditions and performing screen tests, we decided that his appearance and screen presence best fitted to the requirements that we had previously set for the character of Noah. In addition to this, we noted that himself and Martha have a chemistry between them that makes their acting seem believable. They presented a jokey, yet caring persona that we found desirable for their roles. Ollie also has the ability to change his expression to make him seem menacing.
His appearance further supported our decision to cast him as Noah. His lighter coloured hair promotes the idea that he is a positive character at the surface, given the association between lighter colours connoting positivity. This then creates contrast when the audience are shown a more sinister side to his character. Then, his height characterises his significance as he will stand out amongst a group of people. This could be used as a visual to foreshadow his later role in the film. When put next to Martha, it's difficult not to assume that he could have power over her given that he is taller and more muscular than she is.
