Casting: The Girlfriend

Casting: The Girlfriend

The Girlfriend:

The girlfriend is young and attractive and very appealing to the husband. She is flirty and has a bouncy personality which excites the husband and adds a bit of colour to his life. She is a student in his university lectures and so that is how they came across each other and met. The girlfriend doesn’t know about the wife and so doesn’t think anything is wrong and is on the outside of the main story line of the film. She wears quite normal clothes, for example jeans and fashionable scarf and so she isn’t very provocative and so is your average student. 

Rachel Knox - 24 years old and so the right age for playing the role of a student. She looks quite innocent and so therefore she suits the part for almost being on the outside of the main plot. The fact that she already has quite a normal fashion sense means that she doesn't need a costume and can almost play the part as herself because she herself is in a relationship. 

Kathleen Johnston - Kathleen is a student at university at the moment and so won't have to act younger or older than she really is which means that she can relate to the role she would be playing. she is also very attractive which meets the requirements of the role. A negative aspect is that she isn't very keen on taking part and acting. 

Christina McDermott - Christina was was also considered to play the role of the wife but we also thought that she could fit the part of the girlfriend as well. This is because she looks similar to Amanda Duncan, who has been cast for the wife, and so this can add to the story line. It is believable that the husband would feel attracted to her because she fits into his certain "type". 

We have decided to cast Christina McDermott for the role of The Girlfriend. This is because Kathleen might not be available for the filming dates as she is at university and she is also reluctant to act. Rachel we felt maybe a bit too young to play the role and she said she will only take part if she is our final option. Christina is willing to act, is available for the filming dates and also won't need much costume work or props, because she looks similar to Amanda Duncan. Christina Mcdermott is playing The Girlfriend.
