The protagonist of our film is a young, teenage girl. Throughout the course of the film she will be differing in age. Therefore, Molly will be playing the character at ages 15 to 18. We have chosen Molly to play our leading role as she 17 years old and therefore, with makeup and costuming, she will look convincing as both a 15 year old and an 18 year old. Molly has studied drama and therefore we felt that, with her experience, she would be able to bring an element of professionalism to the role. She has also acted in other media projects at AS level, and thus will understand our production process. We also felt that as both myself, Lucy and Molly go to the same school, availability and scheduling filming days would be less of an issue.
Friend of the Protagonist: Nadia Hambidge
For this role we needed an actress who was of a similar age to our protagonist. Therefore we have chosen Nadia as she is also 17 years old. Her age also results in her being a suitable fit for a character within the coming of age genre. Again, Nadia attends the same school as myself and Lucy, thus making it easier for us to communicate with her to organise filming days. Although Nadia does not have a lot of acting experience, we trust that she will be able to bring an element of sophistication to the role. We are also not overly concerned by this issue as she will ultimately feature a lot less in our film than Molly.
