CastingDRAKE ”CHILD’S PLAY”

Drake (Bailes)

As our protagonist, Drake, we have used our very own Bailey Plaskow and I have renamed him ‘Bailes’ for use on my digipak and poster.

This meant that he was available whenever we needed to do filming which we would not have had if we went with someone external to the group.

We have got Bailey a Drake hoodie to wear whilst filming to make the look more authentic and the casting was very easy and worked very well.

We also had Drake’s chauffeur in one very short, minor scene however we did not feel that this role was important enough to do an entire profile on as their face is not even shown.

Drake’s Girlfriend (Danielle)

For the role of Drake’s girlfriend we were planning on using our friend Abbie who has experience with drama. However, her availability did not line up with when we wanted to film so we decided to use our very own Danielle for the same reason as using Bailey, that we knew her availability and could film in media lessons.

Danielle was very effective as the role of Drake’s girlfriend and we filmed using clothes that fitted our original clothing plan.
