Film Planning: Casting

 While I already have a good idea of the plot line of my film opening the most important piece of my project is getting the actors. I want my audience to be able to relate to the characters in order to really emphasize the message of being a teenage girl. Luckily, my own teammates were willing enough to be filmed to deliver this piece.

After relaying my ideas to them, they were automatically on board. They really liked the idea, and I know them well enough that I could make the script around their own personalities. While they're considered to be 'amateurs' in the acting field, that's a part of the coming of age genre. The awkwardness of being a teenager.

     Now that I have my actors casted my next step is to go over the script I'm working on and ensure that they are fully comfortable with their roles. I'm going to emphasize the traits I want them to embody with the characters they're going to become. In order to avoid any plausible weaknesses, I'm going to look at my calender and come up with possible dates to film.

Moreover, I'm going to look further into the outfits I want them to wear. I want to portray the 2000's aesthetic the best I can, so their outfits play a major role. While I'm not picky as to who wears what colors, I want them to embody the 2000's aesthetic by wearing certain pieces from that era. I have thrifted lots of iconic vintage pieces from that time, so I'm going to experiment with different outfits. My next step is to create a script and look into filming locations.
