-Whether they were available for filming when we needed them to be
-If they could access the location being filmed
-How seriously they could take the acting roll
-How well they could act
-If they fit the criteria of their character
With these to bare in mind, we then turned to some friends we knew who were taking part in the school production, in which then fitted the majority of the criteria as they were local, serious about acting and could actually act. These friends were both men and also fitted the criteria of the male characters in physical form and apprentices. We also knew someone who was working with a semi-professional acting group, who is also local, and met all the criteria's set.
At first we had a selection of people to chose from in terms of casting, as we were unsure about who to pick and who would take it the most seriously. We then talked to each of the listed cast members about the filming, and whether they were able to do it. After eliminating those who were unable to do it/ didn't want to, we were left with a smaller list, in which from that list we selected our final cast list based on who we thought would be able to take it seriously but also fitted the characters persona best.
The people that are a part of our cast are;
Joe James (the "killer", antagonist)
Malachi Dempsey-Clark ("jock, first victim to be killed)
Ed Morgan ("nerd", other male character)
Sophie Paul (female character)
