Rory Wilton (Anthony):
Rory is the protagonist for our film 'White Lies'. I believe his rugged look fits the physical profile of the character and gives the character of Anthony an edge no other actor we had in line to play the role had. Also, seeing Rory's previous work on TV shows such as Poldark showed us how he takes on the role of a character. I was very intrigued to see what acting qualities he would bring to the character. Overall, I believe his physical appearance was perfect for the character of Anthony and the acting qualities he brought to the character I believe contrasted very nicely with his look.
Emma Spurgen Hussey (Lucy):
For our female character, we wanted her to have the physical qualities of a normal middle-class women with an edge to show she was married to a drug addict. I believe she fits this specification perfectly. I believe her physical traits and personality she brought to the role allowed the film to flourish and give Rory's character more realism because of what she was able to bring to her character.
I also believe she fits the thriller genre of our film. She has that rough edge you would expect from a wife of someone who is a conventional drug addict, which in tern fits the thriller genre I believe.
I put myself forward to play the role of the drug dealer and everyone in the group agreed I had an edgy physical trait which was needed for this role. I also believe the fact we're using me, a young stereotypical teenager, to be the drug addict links to real media stereotypes about how the youth are portrayed. This links to Stanley Halls' "Storm and Stress" which is seen in most adolescents today, and the perception that young people are emotional volcanoes ready to explode.
