Chosen Actors

This is Jovinie Carter. She is 17 and our chosen actress to play Sarah. She wasn't our original choice as she is part of our group and wanted to be more involved with the filming. However, the original actress we chose was unable to make it at the times we requested. We found that having the actress in our group made things a lot easier as she was always present at the same time we were. She adapted to her role quickly and confidently. We felt she was fully capable of playing the role of an older character as she is a mature person and the age difference wasn't too big. Jovinie's character is bubbly, popular among friends and concerned with her education. These are all attributes that Jovinie already had so it was easy for her to play the character.

This is Debo. He is 18 and our chosen actor to play Sarah's ex Danny. Like Jovinie, he wasn't our original choice to play Danny as Debo is also a member of our group, but it was very difficult to find a male actor who was available at the times we needed them. Debo wasn't as comfortable with acting  so we tried our hardest to avoid shots of his face when it wasn't necessary. Danny is a very violent, angry and psychotic person. Although Debo obviously doesn't hold these characteristics, the opening only involved him chasing Sarah so it wasn't challenging. Having the actor in our group was an adavantage for the same reasons having the actress in our group was an adavantage.
