This was our final list of characters that we decided on - before filming began.
Cleaner (Age - 50's/60's) Female
Teacher (Age - 30's) Female/Male
Workman (Young - 20's?) Male
Barman (Age - 20's) Male
Hairdresser (Age - 20's) Female
Horse Stable Girls (Age - 10- 15) Female
Window Cleaner (Age - 40's) Male
Mother and Daughter (Age - ?) Female
We wanted a range of age and genders - to be sure our music would appeal to a wide audience.
Our next step was to cast people for these characters.
Cleaner (Age - 50's/60's) Female - Sue Daniels.
Hairdresser (Age - 20's) Female - Becky Wood.
Horse Stable Girls (Age - 10- 15) Female - Megan and Jessica Jones.
Window Cleaner (Age - 40's) Male - Nick English.
Mother and Daughter (Age - ?) Female - Sue and Livi Gregory.
We struggled to get a workshop or a bar for the relevant characters - and because of time we decided to cut them. Instead we added 2 more characters.
Teenager (Getting ready to go out) - Zoe Whitfield
Painter (Young - 20's?) Male - Andy Brady.
We chose these characters as we already had the locations that would fit their mise-en-scene.
Because of time commitment, the actress that was going to play our teacher was unable to be part of it. It was slightly disappointing, as we were losing some of the best locations - i.e. Classroom, Workshop, Bar - these would have been good as contrasting mise-en-scenes relevant to each character.
To keep the number of characters up, we had to add a new male character who we decided would be in a bathroom. We also needed to balance the genders - so adding a new male was probably a good idea.
