Harley played the main role of the trailer/film, we chose to use her because she stood out in terms of looks and was attractive, she fitted the conventions of a victim in a thriller. With the Blonde hair and smile.
She played the role with confidence and I think she was happy with the outcome.
Her name in the film was the same in real life.
Jacob was the second main character for our trailer/film we chose to use him because we thought he was quite attractive and was confident in front of the camera, this is something that is important when you are choosing actors and actresses for films. Jacob plays Harley's boyfriend and plays quite a bold character.
Bola played the character of Harley's old friend, we didn't want to introduce him to early in the trailer but we also didn't want to much attention on either male characters, this is because the narrative is that Harley is being stalked by her own boyfriend, so we had to make sure that the balance was equal. We don't want the audience to know at all that the stalker is Harley's boyfriend so when we filmed the shots of the stalker we made sure his face his hands etc were completely covered. This worked well because it helped the narrative to take place and we didn't want anything to be revealed.
Choosing the characters was quite difficult because we had to make sure that the chosen people felt comfortable when filming, and this wasn't always the case. We did take a while to find somebody to play Harley's boyfriend but i think the chosen person worked well and was attractive enough and made the character clear to the chosen target audience.
