Casting Shots

Laura Potts - Ella Roberts

Laura plays the character of 'Ella'. We thought that Laura would be best to play the main character of our film because her personality suited the personality of the character well and we felt that she was the best at acting out of the two of us. We also thought that her appearance was suited to the character well as we wanted Ella to have long blonde hair to add to the contrast of the girl she used to be to the girl she becomes after she is 'possessed'. 

Faye Speed - Sophie Wright

                    The 'Demon'

Faye plays the character of 'Sophie' and The 'Demon'. We felt that she would be best to play 'Sophie' as we are friends in real life so we thought that our acting would look more realistic and it wouldn't look forced. Whereas if we had two people playing Ella and Sophie who weren't friends, it may look like they were acting and not real friends which we didn't want. Also, we felt that Faye fit Sophie's character because she has the same sort of personality that Sophie has and Faye can portray this. We also felt that Faye should play the part of the 'Demon'. We thought this as Faye is quite tall which we wanted the 'Demon' to be. We also knew that we were never going to see the Demon's face and so we didn't feel that it would matter if we used the same actress for the friend and the Demon.

Danielle Lall - Alice Jones

Danielle plays the character of Alice. We felt that Danielle would be a good actress to have playing Ella's second friend because us and Danielle are friends in real life so we thought our real friendship would look more realistic for the audience when they watch our film. Although Danielle is completely different from the character she is playing personality wise, we felt that because she is a good actress she would be able to act this way and make it look realistic. 

*However, the character of 'Alice' isn't shown in our trailer. This is because we were originally going to have a different scene where Ella is pictured with her friends. We decided not to include this scene because we felt that it didn't really present the plot of the film very well and we also felt that the scene was too long to be included in a trailer.
