our cast

2. CLARA VON OBERNITZ AS ALI
• WE HAVE CHOSE CLARA VON OBERNITZ TO BE OUR MAIN CHARACTER
BECAUSE SHE IS IN OUR GROUP AND WANTED TO BE THIS CHARACTER.
• NOT ONLY THIS BUT SHE DOES LOOK GOOD ON CAMERA AND SHE IS STILL
A TEENAGER WHO LOOKS YOUNG AND OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY AN 18 YEAR
OLD.
• HER BEING GERMAN AND ENGLISH NOT BEING HER FIRST LANGUAGE
COULD BE USED AS AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE IT COULD CONNOTE THE
TENSION BETWEEN ALI AND LEXIE AS IT COULD SYMBOLIZE THE FACT
THAT EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE BIRTH, THE LANGUAGE
BARRIER COULD BE WHAT IS DRIVING THEM APART
• AND COULD SHOW THAT THEY ONLY SEE EACH OTHER OCCASIONALLY
WHICH COULD CONNOTE LEXIE'S FEELING OF ABANDONMENT AND ANGER
SINCE AIL ALWAYS LEAVES HER, MAKING LEXIE WANT TO END HER
MISERY BY KILLING AIL

3. ZOFIJA MICHALSKA AS LEXIE
• WE HAVE CHOSEN ZOFIJA MICHALSKA TO PLAY THE ROLE OF LEXIE, ALI’S
BEST FRIEND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD PLAY THE ROLE
WELL AND BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T MIND DOING IT AND IS AVAILABLE ON
THE FILMING DAYS
• WE ALSO CHOSE HER BECAUSE SHE IS STILL A TEENAGER AND DOES
PASS AND LOOK LIKE AN 18 YEAR OLD AND WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD
PLAY THE ROLE OF A BEAUTIFUL TEENAGER WITH A DARK SIDE WELL.
• LIKE I SAID BEFORE THE FACT THAT SHE IS A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER
WHILE CLARA IS NOT CONNOTES THE FRUSTRATION LEXIE MAY BE
FEELING DUE TO A LANGUAGE BARRIER AND ALI ALWAYS LEAVING AND IT
CONNOTES THEIR UNIQUE AND TROUBLED FRIENDSHIP.
• THE FACT THAT SHE HAS DARK HAIR ANDCLARA HAS LIGHT HAIR
CONNOTES HER DARK SIDE AND PERHAPS CONNOTES THAT SHE IS MORE
MATURE THAN CLARA. NOT ONLY THIS BUT IT ALSO FOLLOWS THE
TRADITIONAL NARRATIVE THEORY OF BINARY OPPOSITIONS SINCE HER
HAIR REPRESENTS LIGHT VS DARK AND GOODVS EVIL

4. MRS. CHARLOTTE BENNETT AS OFFICER
TIFF
• WE HAVE CHOSEN MRS.CHARLOTTE BENNETT TO PLAY OFFICER TIFF DUE
TO THE FACT THAT WE THINK SHE WOULD BE A GOOD COP AND HAS
EXPERIENCE WITH HOW THE MEDIA WORKS ALLOWING HER TO PLAY THE
ROLE TO THE BEST OF HER ABILITIES SINCE SHE KNOWS IT HAS TO BE
GOOD. WE ALSO CHOSE HER BECAUSE SHE WAS AVAILABLE AND WILLING
TO BE IN OUR FILM.
• SHE ALSO DOES LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO BE A COP SINCE SHE IS NOT A
TEENAGER ANYMORE. AND THE FACT THAT SHE DOES LOOK QUITE YOUNG
MEANS TIFF COULD BE A YOUNG COP.
• THIS IS AN ADVANTAGE TO US BECAUSE THIS COULD CONNOTE THAT
YOUNG WOMEN CAN TAKE ON A MANS JOB AND ROLES THAT ARE OF A
HIGHER STATUS AND HIGHER LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION. SHE SUBVERTS
THE STEREO TYPE THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR AS COMPARED TO MEN
DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE REPRESENTS AN EMPOWERED FEMALE
RELATING TO GUANTLETTS THEORY OF “AN EMPOWERED FEMALE”.

5. MR. ANDRZEJ DZIEMIANKO AS OFFICER
PHIL
• WE HAVE CHOSEN MR. ANDRZEJ DZIENMIANKO TO PLAY OFFICER PHIL
BECAUSE WE THINK THAT HIM BEING A COP IN OUR FILM WOULD MAKE
IT BELIEVABLE AND BECAUSE HE HAS HAD SOME EXPERIENCE PLAYING A
COP IN OTHER STUDENTS WORK. WE ALSO CHOSE HIM DUE TO HIM
BEING AVAILABLE ON THE DATES WE ARE FILMING.
• ANOTHER REASON WHY WE CHOSE HIM IS BECAUSE HIS FEATURES AND
HEIGHT CONNOTES A FIERCE AND THOUGH COP WHO HAS BEEN DOING
HIS JOB FOR MANY YEARS WHICH IS HOW WE WANTPHIL TO BE
PORTRAYED.
• HIM BEING AN OFFICER ALONG SIDE TIFF CONNOTES THE CONTRASTING
ROLES OF THE CHARACTERS IN OUR FILM SINCE THEIR LOOKS ARE
COMPLETELY CONTRASTING. HE ALSO REPRESENTS THE STEREOTYPICAL
ROLE OF MALE COPS LOOKING OLDER, AGGRESSIVE AND STRAIGHT
FACED.
