Planning - Casting

Gabriella 

Gabriella is a teenager who is self-confident, she enjoys playing piano. Gabriella is not stereotypical teenage girl, she is quite opposite and she would rather spend her free time hanging out with friends. Gabriella's role will be played by Emma Jeeves. We think Emma is suitable for the role of Gabriella because she is confident in front of the camera and she has done drama in her GCSE's, which is a big benifit because she already knows how acting and filming works. She will be able to fit in Gabriella's role as she is not shy and has got some experience of acting.

You can see Emma in the video below. We thought that, it might be good to take a short video of our actors, before the actual filming, to make sure that they are right for the role.

David

David is a teenage boy who is shy and does not talk much. He does not like to socialise with other people. He spends most of his time at home, or with his younger sister. David's role will be played by Natharn Wamala. Natharn is 16 years old and we think he is suitable for the role of David because he is also quite shy.

Michael

Michael is also a teenager who is very positive and outgoing. He is really confident and he spends most of his spare time  hanging out with his friends. Michael's role will be played by Ashley Paddick. Ashley is 16 years old. We think he is suitable for the role of Michael because he is a really  positive person, fun to be with, self-confident and he is not shy to act in front of the camera. He also did drama for his GCSE's which also makes him suitable for acting.

You can see Ashley in the video below, where we have taken the first footage of him before the real filming. By doing the short video, we are confident now that Ashley is perfect for the role of Michael.
