This is the cast member we have chosen to play our main character; Lucy Bullock. We have previously worked with Lucy on our AS production, on which we received many compliments from teachers and our peers about the quality about the quality of the acting displayed. Lucy is currently studying drama at A Level and plans to pursue this career path further at university level, meaning she is perfect for this role due to her enthusiasm and dedication. We both go to the same college as Lucy, making it a lot easier to communicate with her in terms of the script she will be following, costumes we would like her to use or the exact dates that we will be filming our trailer or taking our photos. Me and Charlie both agreed that Lucy would be the obvious choice for the role as she has a lot of experience, and her appearance is also fitting to that of our main character. Lucy has a fairly innocent appearance, which is what we wanted to go for as her appearance will be able to be contrasted with the violent acts that the audience may see appear throughout our trailer.
Lucy herself is also very interested in photography, as shown through her Instagram profile, so she will also be able to provide us with additional knowledge with regards to taking our photos for the ancillary tasks. She also has a lot of clothes that we think would be ideal for the aesthetics of our production, which Charlie hopes to discuss in a different post (see Costumes & Props), which is another reason why she was the ideal choice for our main character. As we also worked with Lucy last year for our production, she will be familiar with everything that is involved in taking part in an A Level media piece, making our filming process much more efficient as she will be understanding of what is required for our coursework. We knew from our initial ideas that we wanted to have a female protagonist in our film, and straight away Lucy was the first choice we had with regards to who we wanted in our cast, so we feel very secure in our choice moving forward.
