The document describes the casting choices for a film's opening sequence. Charlotte Heavey was cast as the main character Amelia Rose, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, because she has drama experience. Ellen Jenkins and Carys Jones, both also age 15, were cast as Amelia's school friends Annabelle and play supporting roles also wearing their school uniforms. Jessica Heavey was cast as Amelia's mother for her acting skills. Cameron Whitehead was chosen to play the stalker for his build and ability to appear bold in dark clothing. Lily Penfold and Georgia Claydon wear casual clothes for their weekend scenes with Charlotte.

1. CASTING:
We decided to give Charlotte Heavey one of the main roles because she has gone to a
drama club before so she has an idea of how acting is. She plays a 15 year old school girl
called Amelia Rose. Throughout the majority of the opening sequence, she wears her
school uniform.
Ellen Jenkins played 15 year old Annabelle because she is 15 and fits well into the role.
She also wears her school uniform throughout her whole role of the film because she is
only in the opening sequence.
Carys Jones is also 15 and isn’t in many shots of the film. She is best friends with Amelia
and Annabelle in the opening sequence. Carys wears her uniform in all her shots.
Jessica Heavey is the mum to Amelia and acts this scene extremely well. We chose Jess
because she went to an acting school when she was younger and we thought she might
have a good idea of what to do. Jessica wears casual clothes for her scene, she only is
stared in one scene of the opening sequence.
Cameron Whitehead plays the stalker. We chose Cameron because he has a well built
figure for a old man and we got him to dress in dark clothing to making himself look more
bold and stand out whenever he’s in the background.
Lily Penfold and Georgia Claydon both wear casual clothes as there shots are of them at
the weekend when they’ve just met up with Charlotte.
