We chose Reuben to play the part of Craig as he is a very confident actor that take A-Level drama. We also felt that he had many similarities to Craig such as their age, look and certain personality traits. Reuben is also a very reliable person and has participated in other people's previous media projects, making it an easy decision to cast him as Craig.
We wanted Alex to play David as he had the particular aesthetic that we envisioned for this character. He has many parallels to the character of David such as the way they dress. This meant that he instantly stood out as an obvious choice to play this role.
We chose Alex and Georgina to play our bullies. Georgina was chosen in order to increase our representation as we had previously planned to have two male bullies, however, we found that we have no gender representation within our sequence. Originally we had planned to have bully number 2 played by an actor with a different ethnicity, however, we felt that this would be a negative ethnic representation. Using members of our teams as actors was easier as we had to rely on less people and could travel easier.
