CASTING CONSIDERATION

During the filming process, my group and I had to take into

account the personas and physical image of our actors, in
order for our vision of the final production to be a success.
When focusing on potential candidates for our movie, we had
to take into account a range of aspects, not only performance
capability wise, but physical appearance in relation to our
movie also.

When considering the role of Kevin Leroy, we

wanted an actor who resembled the antagonist
from the purge. This is because, this actor had a

young attractive girl, with a strong acting
capability. We wanted her ethnicity to differ from

 ALFONSO BIANCHI: ANTAGONIST

When exploring the role of Alfonso, we wanted a

young, teenage male, whose physicality differed
from the other antagonist. Mehdadul Kazi was
suitable for the role, because his physicality
juxtaposed the actor of Kevin Leory. As well as
this, he was a good height which made him look
dominant but not too lanky. For this role, we
