Casting our 4 characters 

Cassie- the wife

We decided that we wanted the person to play Cassie to be blonde hair which will contrast with Kate who is a brunette. We wanted Cassie to be late 40s or early 30s as she needs to look like a mum. So far we are hoping that Ali is available to play the part as Steph is pregnant at the moment and Ali is more age appropriate to the character. Both of the ladies also have the correct dress sense for the part so that makes them more appropriate for the character. 

Kate- the 'husbands lover'

The criteria for Kate has to be brunette and around early 30s as she has to contrast from Cassie. As Kate is the women that Thomas is cheating with, I would presume that she is younger. It would be beneficial to have the husband lover looking much younger than the wife to show the stereotype that men cheat with younger ladies. So far we think that Danielle would be perfect for Kate as she ticks all the boxes. We need to make sure that she is free on shoot date.

Thomas- the husband

For Thomas we need a man that looks like he can be a Dad. So far we have two ideas to play him, Adam and Peter. I think that Peter looks likes the character we were all visioning but Adam also ticks lots of the boxes. Peter will be a harder person to be available and Adam will be more practical as he will be there on shoot day with us. Both would be very suitable for the character and have the same dress sense as the character we are envisioning.

Teddy- the son

For the son we are going to cast my little brother Teddy who is six years old. As Teddy only features in a small part of the sequence we will only need him for an hour so he won't miss too much school. He loves acting and is very excited to play the part!
