Casting

When deciding who to chose to act in our film it was very difficult. We had to rely on availability and someone who could the ideal part. The level of acting also had to be taken into consideration so we decided to look for people who studied drama or had a history in it. For the male we decided to ask someone called Leo Hitchcock, we felt he was suitable for the part as he looked like a typical male detective. He was also very easy to dress the part as he worn a suit on a daily basis due to the schools dress code. However, we did supply a hat to accompany his look. Also his acting was very good as he performed a confident approach to his part, he also given that cocky atmosphere which surrounds the character. This is the portrayal we wanted the detective to have so we collectively decided that he should be the main character within our opening sequence of Beneath the Beauty. Secondly for the female femme fatale, we again taken into account the same qualities for the female character, making sure she fit all aspects of this role. Meaning conventions such as a vulnerable posh woman who is in need however also this beautifully, malicious and manipulating character who the detective ends up falling for. The bar attender didn't need as much as preparation as the others, we decided to just pick them on availability as they only featured in the opening sequence for a shirt period of time.
