Actors - Costumes

We have already established that I am going to be the protagonist but we need two more actors. We are planning to hold auditions to choose them.

I had an idea of how the girl should look like. We have already mentioned that we want our production to be educational as well and one way to connect with our target audience is to make them relate to the characters. The danger which we will try and show in our video is likely to happen to any other girl in the world, just a girl with a normal life who gets dragged into this. So, I believe that we should go for a normal girl so most of the girls out there will be able to identify themselves in our character.
I was thinking, what do normal teenage girls do when they go out clubbing. They try to look older so they will be taken seriously. They seek attention. A way of getting that is the way they dress. I thought our character should wear a red or a black dress, definitely heels. Stereotypically, by wearing red she would get the attention but by wearing black she would look older. I will speak to my partner and see what she thinks and we will decide what look we will go for.

The guy in our video  has an important role. He has to go over a drugged girl and try to silence her. This emphases the danger of taking drugs and not being able to take care of yourself. Through our production we want to show almost every side of it, one way is by showing how dangerous it is to be on street, unaware of what is going on around you and anything could happen, there are all kinds of people out there.
So, what we have thought about how our  male actor should look like. We didn't want anything stereotypical because in real life situations it could be anyone, so race, skin colour, anything like that wouldn't matter. But we want to break the conventions of  a 'baddie' in a film. They are often presented as more intimidating, wedge and possibly tall, but we want to show that anyone could attack a young girl. We are looking for an ordinary guy - not very tall or masculine.
Although, criminal tend to hide their identities so we  would want him to wear a hoodie and hide his face which will also create enigma in the beginning of the film.
