We only have two characters in our film opening. One of which is Evie's 10 year old brother (Herbie) and then Evie's mum (Sara). We chose them to be our characters because Herbie has a very vivid imagination and therefore is able to play the role of the character very well. We choose Sara because she is in the correct age range and is actually the mother of Herbie and therefore it is realistic.

We went through with these casting ideas as we felt that they were appropriate for our plot in the opening two minutes.
