Casting Notes
For The Full Movie:   Scarlett Cole
                                         Tommy Cole (not actually shown)
                                         Florence Cole

Scarlett Cole: Comfort Gathoni 
This is our main character. The audience will view this character, first of all, when she is 16 and pregnant. She will be the mother of Raymond, the child who will haunt her in her dreams as she believes he is dead; she later then meets him in the orphanage, without knowing its her actual son. This will create a dramatic irony as the audience will be aware its her son but she wont.

Scarlett's character is very vulrable, but tries to keep peace with her evil mother, she is sweet and still very innocent and wants to do the best for her child. We want the audience to really emphasise with her. Playing this character will be Comfort Gathoni.

The main reason why we selected Comfort Gathoni is because she’s a drama student. I am also a drama student so i've been able to see her work of acting, which is very effective. She will be able to do this role because she has done roles like this in drama productions before hand. She is very good at what she does and she will be able to get the characterisation of the character, Scarlett.


Florence cole: Jessica Ansah
This is another main character in this film. This is Scarlett Cole’s mother. If Scarlett Cole was the protagonist, Florence Cole would be the antagonist. She did not approve of Scarlett’s decision to keep her baby when she found out she was pregnant as she has a very old fashioned mind set of teenage pregnancies. She is the one who mysteriously tells her daughter that her baby is dead.

Florence's character is very evil, she is old fashioned so when she found out her daughter was pregnant she was very ashamed as she felt her family would be look upon. Jessica Ansah will be playing the role of Florence Cole.

The reason why we have selected Jessica Ansah is because she is also a drama student and is capable of doing the role of an old woman,  as she has taken roles like this in the past. She has had the potential to do any of these roles before hand.
