The Actors - Alex Lloyd

The actors we will be using within our short film are fortunately brothers, therefore the shot in which we fade in time to the future from the younger Milo to the older Milo will be realistic in the way that they look a like.



'Milo - Aged 10 years old' = Actor - Milo Price
Milo is excited to act and should be able to play the part of our troubled child well. Another reason for his excitement is the £15 our group members will be paying him to act for us!




'Milo - Aged 17 years old' = Actor - Jack Price

Jack will play the part of Milo in the last few shots of our short film, with not much to partake in he won't be paid at the end of his shooting time, his prize is the popularity he should gain from it.
Other advantages of our actors both being brothers is it will be easy to organise a meet up with them both at the same time, it is their house that we will be filming at and so whenever we are filming, they will be present.

We will also be needing two minor actors playing the parts of Milo's parents, it was difficult to find two actors old enough to play the part but due to the fact that their faces will never be seen throughout the film, we only need to look for two actors who are big enough to play the part.

Actors in mind:

Jonny Young - Dad
Alice Darby - Mum

Good idea using the brothers a nice slow fade would be good make sure you get two portraits of them (still images) these could be useful as cutaways or for titles/poster
Good luck
