Casting

For our film opening, we have three characters. For our main character Rose, we have casted Jessie Owens, because she has the quirky look that fits in the protagonist image perfectly. For the councillor we originally decided to cast Jonathan West, because he 35 years old, and is a professional actor, not only giving him to skills to create a professional performance, but he also had the very smart look, fitting the 'ideal' councillor. However, we had some trouble with his availability because he lives and works in London for most of the week, so we decided to was too difficult to plan around his schedule, and would cause us major problems if we need to re-film, because he lived so far away and was quite unreliable. It would be also be difficult to achieve the quality of filming we would like because we don't know him very well at all. However, we did have a reserve counsellor called Ben Howse, who is also an experience actor, but is slightly younger. Last year, he appeared in another AS media project, showing that is he capable of a great media performance.
