Actors:

We would like two main characters, a female and a male, in a romantic relationship together.

Man - We would like a male main part, Isaac to be rather stereotypical. We want him to be good looking but not in a 'typically attractive' way. Some examples of male main characters we could base our main character on are:

Ryan Gosling - Noah in 'The Notebook'

Anton Yelchin - Jacob in 'Like Crazy'

Robert Pattinson - Tyler in 'Remember Me'

Our friend Harrison is a potential candidate to play Isaac. He has the right sort of look and is good looking but looks as if he is scraggly and grungy. Harrison is 18 and goes to school in London, so filming times could work with our out of school hours.

George is our other potential Isaac, he is 20 and lives in Suffolk, but goes to university in Brighton which is the area we will probably be doing most of our filming in. He looks older than Harrison, so would probably be a better fit for playing Isaac. He also shares a similarly 'grungy' and scatty look to Harrison, and he would wear his own clothes rather than having a costume as it is already what we want our male character to be wearing.

Mark is our final consideration to play Isaac. He is 20 years old and goes to university in London. He has the right sort of look too although he is more groomed than Harrison and George.

Woman - We want the female character, Grace, to be similar to the male character in the way that she should be beautiful but she should not try too hard with make up or clothes to make herself look good, so she has natural beauty and a slightly grungy feel about her. For example:

Emilie De Ravin - Ally in 'Remember Me'

Kristen Stewart - Bella in 'Twilight'

Michelle Williams - Cindy in 'Blue Valentine'

Our first potential girl to play Grace is Holly. She is 21 and lives in Clapham, but goes to university in Brighton. She has a slightly grungy look and style, which could work with playing Cindy. She is also blonde which is similar to Michelle Williams and Emilie De Ravin. However, her blonde hair could perhaps be seen as too generic and 'girl next door'. 

Our next potential Grace is Thea. She is also 21 and lives in Clapham but goes to university in Brighton. Thea would be suitable to use as if we used George to play Isaac she is in a relationship with  George, so their acting would probably look more natural and realistic. She has ginger hair which would also work well as it is different and unusual.

Finally, we may potentially use Ally Whitaker for our female role as she lives locally to us and goes to the same school as us so would be available a lot of the time. Also she has individual hair and is attractive.

We finally chose to use George and Thea, as they are in a real relationship so their acting would look normal and natural. We plan to go down to Brighton for a week to film them on the beach and in a flat or apartment.
