Characters and Casts Development

Who will play them? Why?
Hayley Jacklin will be playing the role as Scarlett Coles character because she is a good actress and she did GCSE Drama. She's going to do her best so our film will look good.

Tom Manson will be playing the role as Tom Smith because a lot of people said especially the Drama Department that he is a good actor.

We picked them as our two protagonists character because we know that they are both good at acting and they get along together so it won't be awkward for them to act. We also thought that we would choose them as it is easy to get hold for the both of them whenever we want to start filming because we all go to the same school so it wouldn't be hard to contact them. 


What is this character like? Why?

One of our protagonists is called Scarlett Cole, 20 years old and who is just a normal girl. She is an ambitious person in life and determined to work her way to the top. She is a happy character right at the start but it changed when she finds out that she’s dying and the problem she has got with her boyfriend. We are going to represent her as a normal person because then it shows that it could happen to anyone.  

The other main protagonist is Tom Smith who is just a normal boy too. We would portray him as good, loving and kind person at the beginning but he turns into an alcoholic person when he finds out that Scarlett is dying. This is to show the characteristic of a person when a problem like that comes up to someone else's life.

What will they look like? Why?

For the female protagonist, she will not wear any make-up towards the end as she is nearly dying. However, she may need just a little bit of make up at the start when she’s been hiding her problems, this is to make her boyfriend and the audience doesn’t notice it. She should wear white top for the clothing because it means purity, kindness and innocence which reflects on her character. And as for the male protagonist, he will be wearing something red because it signifies either love or aggression which will reflects on him as a character.We decided the characters to play as matured people like 20 years old for the female protagonist and a year older for the male protagonist because we want to aim it for teenager girls and older as well. Some older woman doesn't like watching teenagers as main characters but teenager girls does not bother whether the characters are teenagers or more matured age.
