A Tale of Tall Tales..

When we had our costume, set and props all sorted out we had the tricky task of deciding who we wanted to act in our clips. As a group, we discussed the sort of look we were trying to represent when we looked into who could act as our little girl and decided that we wanted her to be your stereotypical 'princess'. As only Georgia had little sisters who were the appropriate age and physique, along with the fact that her bedroom was the exact style we wanted for our 'princess' to have, we chose to use Olivia in our piece. We then decided that in order for our clip to look as naturalistic as possible we wanted to make Georgia's dad, if he was happy to be in, the father in the film. We thought this would give the most 'real' performance as she would be most comfortable with her own dad and this would give the most effective opening for our film.

We then had the hard decision of casting our leading man! We wanted someone that was not your typical 'hero' that you get in most Hollywood films; muscly, tanned and good looking. With thorough research into movie hero's that have gone before, we found the perfect example of what we wanted in Clarke Kent from the Spiderman movies. He is not your usual hero as he is a geeky, everyday reporter and this was how we envisaged our hero to be. With this in mind we thought that the most appropriate casting for this role was our friend Harry as he reminded us all of this character. It worked really well and gave the impression that this film was going to be different and challenging some stereotypes which is what we wanted.
