Casting Rose

Casting Rose

We got a selection of people to audition for the role of Rose in our opening. We all decided that we wanted teenage girl with long hair. We wanted her to be pale to make her look slightly sickly and to hint that she doesn't get taken many places where she would get a tan. We wanted long hair which can be made to look scruffy to show that looking pristine isn't her main concern. We also wanted the actress' hair to be dark to fit with our dark colour palette.
We did not do any acting screen tests as our protagonist does not do much in our opening apart from stare forward.


Meg Dobson

Age: 16
Height: Mid-height
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Brown
Skin colour: White

Meg has long dark hair, dark eyes and pale skin, similarly to what we are looking for. The long hair means that it can be make to look scruffy. 

Shannon O'Doherty

Age: 16
Height: Small
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Green
Skin colour: White

Shannon has very long hair, which is also good for the scruffy look, however it is too light and we are looking for a darker colour palette. 

 






























Aimee Langan

Age: 17
Height: Small
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Blue
Skin colour: White

Aimee has long dark hair and pale skin, creating an effective contrast. However, her eyes are too bright for what we are looking for. We also thought it would be easier if we got someone who wasn't in our group to act so we could all contribute more to the filming.

































In the end, we decided on using Meg as our actress. She fit closely to the look that we were going for, she also seemed the most excited and willing to take part in filming. Meg is also a good choice as she is not a drama student so there is less risk of her over-acting.
