Picking the characteristics of our Cast.

Casting and Characters.

Finding the right cast for our Trailer has been much harder than we first expected. We have got an image imprinted in our minds and we are not prepared to settle till we are successful in finding the perfect cast. First and formost we want India and Ayla to have Different coloured hair, India preferably Brunett and Ayla Blond. 
  
Ayla
India

However we do not want this to be a restriction and we will not be to disappointed if we find two brunetts or two blond to be best friends if they fit all other criteria's. The reason we wanted a Blond and Brunett for the two best friends is it is a good way to distinguish between the two in the trailer especially in the quick scenes with Ben. Also it has always worked extremely well in other films such as 'Bride Wars' (*1)  'Something Borrowed', Kathy and Ruth from 'Never Let Me Go' (*2) and so on, it is a very good generic look to have for best friends.

 However to steer away from that generic, hollywood feel of Blond girls steeling the boyfriend or being the flirty one we have made Ayla the Blond "The victim" and India will be the Brunett. 
The look we have for India and Ayla is a really quirky, urban, tribally look. These are just some idea's to express what look we're thinking...  


 
 

For Ben we have no preference on the colour of his hair. But with him we also want him to have a quirky, urban, skater look, really into his arts and filming, this will allow us to incorporate vintage films and pictures in our trailer.
