Casting

I have decided to cast a friend, Aleksander in this role. For one, he understands the role I have explicably described to him. After discussing the role, I think he would fit the mysterious character of which dominates the short clip because understands the potential and drive that needs to be shown

Visually, there are no specifics in regards to how I want the character to look. Tall, and mysterious should be important in representing the ambiguity within the film

Since we do not know much about the character it is vital that the physical look represents the traits explained above. As little is known about the character, it is down to him to express the fear, paranoia and mystery which are the important traits displayed by the main and only character I conceived for this piece

In regards to finding a backup, should he not suit the role; it would not be particularly difficult to find someone who could portray such a vague character

Despite the complexities hidden behind the characters’ anonymity, the versatility of the characters’ look, allows for me to adapt my perception of how the character should visually appear

As a result of this, actors should not be difficult to find because they are no physical traits which make the character stand out that could make casting difficult

It could be possible to adapt the character to a female as there is little information given about his backstory which builds an interesting and mysterious narrative
