Role allocation and casting

Within our group we decided that we would all write the storyline together due to our individual ideas of how our initial plot should progress.
We decided that we would all contribute into each different role within the production, however a certain person would have a more prominant position within the roles.
Kiran was chosen as a camera person as during our college promotion video she showed exceptional skills behind the camera and wanted to develop them further - she also would be the most reliable in regards of producing acceptable shots rather than ones which need to keep being re-shot.
Daniel was chosen as the main editor due to having skills in creating seamless editing between each shot; he showed us that through his editing of previous tasks and he also has a hobby of editing his own videos.
I was chosen as the director because I have good leadership skills and can control stressful situations in a calm manner. I also think I have a good overview of the narrative due to it being my original idea which was developed.

We all would be included and will all contribute to every aspect of filming, editing, directing, producing etc. yet within the titles we can only have one name per element so we chose our names to be specific to these elements.

         
For our casting we only needed four actors; two main characters and the other two are just in the production for one shot. We felt that we would get other people than ourselves to act in the opening film as we are not as skilled in acting than we are producing, so we came to a decision if we asked friends to act it would look more professional.


Cast:
ProtagonistAddison Goodman, two outfits; one for the church and a provocative dress and a cross necklace.
Charlotte Batey: A friend of mine whom is an aspiring actress: she has been the main character in many productions such as Grease, We Will Rock You, etc. She also is studying performing arts at King Edward's, she has been accepting into acting school and is taking a break after her A-levels to gain enough money to attend a strictly performing arts/acting college to continue her career in this field. 
Antagonist; Father Goodman, priest cloak and cross necklace.
Father Sheeran: A priest which we all know and who is happy to help out.
