Casting Difficulties

The stalker in our film is supposed to be a middle aged man as this age group is more likely to be seen as creepy, as in a 'creepy old man'. However the stalker in our film is played by Charlie who is much younger than the character he is playing. We don't feel this made any significant change to our film though because the stalker is masked so you cant actually see how old or young looking his face is.

Our actors had to be happy with what we were going to ask them to do. Charlie was happy enough to wear the mask so it was an easy choice to pick him as our stalker for the film. Lucy was our second choice to play the victim character, but she was willing to be in the film for us and did exactly what we needed her to do and it worked out well in the end.
