Casting

For our film, there were three roles that needed to be filled.

The first role was the dead victim, who we felt should be portrayed as an innocent teenage girl. We chose our friend/classmate Victoria Conn. She is a medium height and looks like she could fit the role of an innocent girl/victim.

The next role was the main character: the female detective. For this character we also chose our friend/classmate Rebecca Wolff. She is very tall and could appear as intimidating in our film.

The last role that we had to cast was the male detective who would be very sexist towards the female detective. We chose our high school assistant tennis coach Thomas Mitchell, referred to as Tommy. Tommy is quite short and kind of fits the stereotypical sexist authority figure.

Scheduling was also a struggle due to us casting other people. Rebecca and my partner Taylor play volleyball competitively outside of school and participate in several tournaments. They only had one weekend available to shoot, so we had to comply and work around their busy schedules. Tommy is a teacher at James Irvin Education Center, so he is pretty busy as well. Victoria does dance, but was also able to find time in her schedule to help us shoot. I do tennis and since I am a junior I am preparing for the SAT and take several other college level classes, so I also struggle to find time for shooting, but we have all made arrangements to get this project completed.
