The document provides casting details for a student film. It lists several friends of the director who have acting experience through school plays and previous films. Fraser Dart is chosen to play the lead role of James as he has starred in several school plays and understands the filmmaking process. Craig Newton, Dylan Reynolds, Max Cheshire and James Head are also selected for roles due to their experience with drama and theater productions through school and an acting company. Their experience will be beneficial for the film.
2. Overview
I wanted to use a few people that are friends as this will help the on screen
relationship look more real.
A few of my actors do A Level Drama and are involved in a the school theatre
productions, so they have acting experience which will be very useful when filming.
3. Fraser Dart
When I was writing this film I
always had Fraser in my head
to act. He has been a few short
films before made by other
students
Fraser has had a principle role
in 4 theatre shows, (Starlight
express, Billy Elliot, Beauty and
the Beast and Anything Goes)
The character that Fraser plays
(James) is the leader and
driver. Craig, James and Fraser
can all drive however I feel
Fraser best suited this
character.
He is currently studying A
Level drama, he has a GCSE in
Media and studied it a bit at A
Level, which means he
understands the process of
making a film.
Dylan has had a principle role
in 2 theatre shows (Beauty
and the Beast and Anything
Goes)
He goes to Forest Forge which
is a acting/theatre company,
this means he has good
experience in acting.

Media and studied it a bit at A
Level, which means he
understands the process of

Craig has had a principle role
in 3 theatre shows ( Billy Elliot,
Beauty and the Beast and
Anything Goes)
He goes to Forest Forge which
is a acting/theatre company,
this means he has good
experience in acting.
He is studying Media at A
Level which means he will be
useful to have around when
filming as I then have a
second opinion on decisions
to make.
I wanted max to play Samuel
as he is a bit of a grumpy and
sarcastic person and I feel max
will portray this well.
