Casting Younger Actors

Casting younger actors is difficult to find actors who match the older cast members. To act as younger actor requires really strong talent and confeidence at the young age. A lot of the young actors and actresses are always very hard to get hold of and cant not always commit as they will be in school. They will have lots of pressure on them and will feel pressured to work under the consuming time frame so therefore, we will have to make sure that they are well looked after so that they will benefit from the expereience as well as producing a successful film.

Niamh Kinsella - Successful

Niamh presented her confeidence straightaway to us. Her audition for the role we were hesitant as to how she would perform in the role of a serious character as she is well known for her comedy status and roles within the film industry and almost all of her major film roles involve a comedy aspect; however we were very surprised as to how dedicated and commited she became to the part straight away - she engaged herself within in the role of the character easily and also developed certain trates of her own to add towards the character. Niamh was very confident within herself and embedded this within her character, she had a clear voice and her diction was perfect when asked to recite some of the chosen dialogue. The main aspect that stood out about Niamh was her ability to work well with other actors - she produced amazing chemistry with both actors going up for the main role; Niamh made it an easy decision for us when choosing our female young actor lead role.

Harry Craven - Successful

This young actor hasnt been in many films but as appeared on televison in line performances. We feel he can adapt to the film industrey as it is not as much pressure however, requires a lot more time and effort in such a short space of time. The actor fitted the role perfectly and he showed great enthusiasim to really embed the role of the character. He was really serious and the young actor will be cheaper to have in the cast then the other auditioned actors. We feel he can learn a lot from the performance and also bring a lot to the production. We feel he is one to look out for in the future.

Daniel Watts - Unsuccessful

This actor is a very high profile and famous actor. He is very expensive and has been to known to be high maintence and require a lot of attention and pgysical items well working. We would love to have this actor on set with us but, can not afford to splash out on this famous actor to have him in the production.

Keeley Ryan – Unsuccessful

A very unexperienced young actor, however we felt Keeley could pull it out of the bag, just as Harry had, but she lacked in the confidence department and just wasn't good enough for the role when compared to other actors. Another aspect that steered us away from Keeley was the fact that she let her confidence get in the way of developing chemistry with the other male actors - she was very immature when it came to co-acting; we decided to use Keeley for our second draft alongside Daniel but we felt they just weren't good enough for the final film
