R+P Post 16: Casting

Our cast was made up of people from our friendship group as we knew they would all be willing to help us film and would cooperate with us keenly and effectively. We also know their fashion and so could ask them to wear certain clothes to suit each character's aesthetic.

We looked at social media belonging to members of our cast and noticed that they had the right make up look and fashion sense that we wanted for our film

We didn't have specific characters except for the protagonist (Lola) and her boyfriend (Marlon) as in our opening sequence the rest of the group are just there to fill up the party and none of  their story lines come into yet. Because of this, we asked the cast to just act how they would in a real party situation and not feel conscious of the camera on them.
