Evidence Of Casting Considerations

Ji-Min

  

The actor that I have casted for Ji-Min fit the criteria well as she had the image that I was hoping for. Her hairstyle was ideal for the type of character that I wanted to cast and the image that I imagined. She had the 'beautiful' image but also could fit well into the eccentric heroine type of character that I wished for within Ji-Min. This actor also had the typical school girl image that I was hoping for.

 

The actor in the image above is from the South Korean movie, 100 Days With Mr Arrogant. She is a young school girl but doesn't look too young, which I what I imagined within Ji-Min too. She is very pretty, elegant and cares for her appearance but also is the eccentric heroine that I wanted Ji-Min to be, by the way she acts. I based my character, Ji-Min, on this character from 100 Days With Mr Arrogant.

Eun-Seo

 

 








 I chose this actor for Eun-Seo as she almost has a cheeky look that is suitable for Eun-Seo and seemed appropriate for the character. She also has the school-girl image that I wanted for Eun-Seo. The actor has experience with camera work previously and knows how to act in the key frames to perform the photos that I wanted to take of her.

I based Eun-Seo on the female characters from 100 Days With Mr Arrogant, she is to be a young girl with a cheeky nature likewise the school girls from this film. However, I don't want her to look too young, so will not place her in the costume of school uniform to make her look more mature and older by being in the upper school.  

Shi-Woo

 

I chose this actor for Shi-Woo as he had previous experience with camera work and drama, knowing how the create the facial expressions for the key frames. He had the image to have easily fit in with a school as he was the right age range. He has the dark hair that I wished for Shi-Woo and the perfect image that I was looking for. He also has a sneeky and cheeky look about him, exactly what I wanted for Shi-Woo.

 

 

 

I based Shi-Woo's character on the male character from 100 days with mr arrogant, as I wanted him to look charismatic and quite powerful and vain, likewise this character does. I wanted the actor to have care over his appearance, this being visible to the audience, and have dark hair matching this character. I wanted him to look confident as this is how Shi-Woo would act and be very sure of himself.

 

 

I want to use actors within the school age range but do not want to put these actors in the costume of school uniform as I do not wish them to look too young as I wish them to look in the age range of the upper school. I wish the actors to be wearing smart business dress for the shots to dress them up for the atmosphere.
