I have decided to construct a few mini fact files about the actress and actor who were the central throughout my film, demonstrating the fundamental reasons of why I chose them particular to play the key characters. :
Hannah. 27 years old
Jenny Harper. 26 years old
Why Chosen = I chose to use Hannah firstly because she lives and works within the business sector in London, in turn she has first hand experience of the demands of city life, the hectic rush hour, the tired feet from the heels. My actresses understood how my protagonist character lives life in a motion, how life in London is so fast paced it can just pass you by without noticing the small details of the city culture. Practically as well to use an actress that live in London means that there is no cost for transport to the city, and off course a flat to borrow! I also felt that Hannah had the acting skills in order to portray to the audience the journey the character goes on, through different shoes she discovers not only about a different strand of society within London but also about herself and how life should not revolve around work and money, but around happiness
Edward. 24 years old
Liam Wood. 28 years old
Why Chosen = I chose to incorporate a character that throughout the film brings the audience to ask questions and adds in turn a level of mystery. Who is he? Does he know the Jenny? Are they in relationship or merely strangers? Is he the one leaving the shoes, if so why? This character is one that opens Jenny's eyes to the culture of London, to happiness that is brought with life. I chose Edward to play the character of Liam because I felt he portrays a very open nature, also because he is actually in a relationship with my other actress Hannah I felt that there would already be a feeling of a connection felt on camera. For practical reasons as well I chose Edward because he lives in London there is no cost on transport, which is very important for my £0.00 budget!
