Updates - Casting

Due to the difficulties in casting children/young teenagers to act as Odyne and Iago during their childhood years we decided to adapt the film accordingly. This is the cause for the update, to ensure we keep track of any changes made to any section of the film. As the swimming pool booked for the filming of the swimming pool scenes was concerned about the timing of the filming we decided it would be easier and more convenient to keep the same actors who play the main characters, to play their younger selves. This will ensure the audience understand the connection between the scenes in the trailer. We will adapt the mise-en-scene to allow the audience verisimilitude in the film. The female actor playing Odyne will have two pony tails, each side of her head, this will ensure a youthful image and will relate to the image of younger children at this time. The male actor playing Iago will have spiked hair held by gel. This childlike 90's image will make sure the character looks younger than when he is seen later on in the trailer; when he has become a successful adult. The actors will have to perform realistically and will have to ensure they make the scene believable by acting childishly; running along poolside screaming and acting playfully.
The change in scheme isn't ideal for the story line we were attempting to portray in the film, however, using the same actors will ensure realism. It will also take some pressure off the group as the actors are all willing to act at the swimming pool, so we do not have to cast another couple of young actors.
