RESEARCH AND PLANNING; Casting

For our final piece we decided that in our group we did not have the acting ability or requirements to match the character we needed in our film trailer, So we decided to look elsewhere for an actress to play the party of "Lola". A friend of the group was recommended as she had previous acting experience in drama productions at school as well as other media productions, so we asked her to play the part of Lola. She has blonde hair which allows the traditional character description of a seductive and mysterious character to continue and she has a pretty and enduring face which allows close ups as well as long shots to work effectively.
As well as a main character we needed minor castings aswell, we needed male victims for our piece, this meant Nilesh patel and myself ( Greg Potter ) had to act on set as male victims this required limited dialogue but allowed us to work our strongest aility being the physical side of acting.
Although our trailers are not expected to have acting of the highest quality, we deliberately went out of our way to find an actress who had the looks and ability to pull off what we were looking for and we hope that she could draw any attention away from lack of budget or any flaws seen in the project.
