Annie Forrest -
For the role of Annie, I needed an actor that brought both innocence and strength to the role in aesthetics and build. I wanted Annie to be ''cute'' and have similarity in terms of looks to other teenage girls.
Jenna Croft -
For the role of Jenna, I needed somebody who would be believable as a friend next to the actor playing Annie.
I chose Alex for this role as Jodie and Alex are friends in real life and so already possess the naturalistic chemistry I needed to portray the friendship between Annie and Jenna. I also felt that Alex's dress sense (as to maintain a realistic effect, I let her wear her own clothes) was fashionable, and thus was a modern and accurate representation of the fashion sense of teenage girls.
Chris Gromes (16 year old) -
For the role of Chris, I wanted a handsome young man with a fashionable dress sense. Chris's percieved character is caring and it is known that he has a background in athletics so his build is particular - tall, thin but muscular.
I chose Sam for this role as I feel that he pulls off being 16 very well, as he is well shaven and youthful. His build matches the criteria for Chris perfectly - tall and slender. And when I trial-ran shots, his smiles during the typing scenes were very natural.
Chris Gromes (36 year old) -
For this role, for the trailer atleast, it did not entirely matter who I used for the role. All I felt that I needed to get spot on was build and height. I wanted Chris to remain faceless in the trailer to keep the idea in the audience's head that this could be anyone.
