Cast Choice

Here I have uploaded a few images of actors I could possibly use in my trailer. I'm going to evaluate them on their overall look, acting ability, availability and whether or not they fit the part i have created. From this, I will choose who I will have act in my Trailer.


Marvin



Well, I think out of everyone, this one has the best 'look' for my trailer. He has facial piercings, very little hair and looks quite intimidating. Even his clothes (which you can't really see in this photo) are the right style - hoddies and tracksuits. He doesn't however have any acting experience as far as I am aware and finds it hard to keep a straight face for things. The last issue is the most important though; availability. It would be difficult arranging filming times at the right locations and right times due to wear he lives. This, I think, means he can't be in my trailer.

Bradley



His appearance is the main issue for this candidate. He has quite long hair for a boy and quite a round innocent face. He doesn't have any piercings and he doesn't really look very intimidating at all. I think the acting would also be hard for Bradley as he would find it hard to be serious - this is just a guess, i wouldn't know untill I tried filming him. In terms of availability, it would be pretty easy i think to find time to film around our schedules as distance isn't an issue. I think, due to the way he looks, Bradley doesn't really fit into my lead role for the reasons I suggested, so I wont use him in my Trailer.

J.B



I think Jake has the right look for my trailer when he wants to; he can look intimidating when he changes his expression. He has no piercings but has quite a shot hair cut. I think the acting would be the main issue for Jake, as he is quite self-concious. He lives near-by to me so being able to actually film my footage would be pretty easy. I would consider asing jake to act in my trailer.

Jake



I think Jake could have the right look for my trailer if he tries. He doesn't look very inimidating when you first see him but like Jake, changes to his expression changes the way he looks dramatically. He doesn't have short hair or piercings, neither is he pretty stocky, but he has the attitude. I terms of acting, I think he is most likely to do better as he is very confident in himself and not self concious. And again he lives very close to me and is available most of the week so filming scedules wont be a problem. I think Jake is my most likely choice of actor.

David



Davids appearance would be the biggest issue for my choosing him i think. He has long hair, no piercings and doesn't look intimidating in the slightest. However, he would probably be the best actor out of the group. He has a lot of acting experience and isn't self concious in the slightest. Availability shouldn't be an issue either since he lives next door to me but he does work, so we would have to work around that.

After evaluating all of my options i found that Marvin had the best 'look' for my trailer, David has the better acting ability and Jake is most available. I've decided to use Jake as the lead actor in my Trailer because he has the best overall result in terms of the 'look', acting and availability. I think he will fit into the part of my lead well.
