As Lucy is being played by Jhean, Jhean asked some of her friends to play extras in her shots. They were happy to oblige. We thought it would be useful to use people Jhean knows well, as she could trust them to commit. We also considered the fact that Jhean would be comfortable and relaxed around them, making it easier to film 'looking natural' with them.

We wanted someone who also studies media to take part for this role, because they would understand the seriousness and commitment necessary to contribute. Rugile is also a media student, and was happy to act, too. She is considerably taller than Bethany, the actor of Astrid, which we thought would be useful for the 'bully' effect.

Again, we chose to stay within our group for this part. Jhean was happy to play any role, and she seemed to make a convincing Lucy when we asked her to impersonate the essence of the character. Jhean also has a lot of the kind of clothes Lucy would need at home, which was helpful.

We chose to pick this character for our group, too, for convenience. On top of this, Farhiya was happy to play the part. She wanted to contribute positively however she could, and she felt she could channel Tasneem easily because of her day-to-day optimistic attitude.

We chose one of our group members to play the main part because we thought it would be best to use someone with a full commitment to the group and who would be available all the times we were.
Bethany has over 10 years of experience with youth theatre, and enjoys acting, so she was happy to volunteer.
