Actor: Ben

The actor I have chosen to use for the character of Ben is a 16 year-old boy called Scott. Although Ben is meant to be older than 16, Scott looks older than his age so this shall not pose a problem. He is also quite broad shouldered, which will be good as I want the character of Amy to appear quite petite to represent her vulnerability.

Scott lives very close to me so it will be easy to meet up for filming.

The look I have in mind for Ben is very casual and simple: jeans; trainers; tshirt; jumper; coat. The jeans are to be quite dark in colour but plain, and with grey trainers (most likely Nike or a similar brand). The tshirt should either be a polo or a standard plain white one, as it is only to be worn underneath a jumper. I have in mind a jumper which is dark blue, to be paired up with a grey hooded coat, cutting off at the hips and zipped up. I think his hair should be slightly gelled and his beard untrimmed.

My aim is to create a look for Ben which is casual and as one would expect of a typical teenage boy. It is also vital that his clothes are kept as simple as possible as in the opening scenes of Ben and Amy getting ready, one of the shots sees him putting on his jumper and coat.
