Casting "Get off my land"

When thinking about casting we thought that we needed to try and gain the best likeness to the actors in the original film. We tried to consider who we have used in previous film productions and how they compared to the people we would need to use.
I watched some of my previous work and some work that people in my group have used. Ideally we wanted to use a girl with dark hair, Aimee, a member of my group used a girl for her AS film opening who was an extremely strong actress, we asked if she was to be free on our filming days. Luckily she was able to do the days. By using an actress that we have used in previous endeavours we knew that she would perform to the highest ability.
We went through the same process with a male actor and found someone who actually looked a lot of like the actor in the short film. We had used him for some audience research and in a few documentaries and he seemed to be a suitable actor. We have asked him and he says  the he will also be free.
