Cast and Costumes

Eve
We decided to have the main character, Eve as an 18 year old. Our reasons for this is because this particular age distinguishes between a 'teenager' and an 'adult', and legally, eighteen is a permissive age whereby a person has far more freedom and life changing choices to make, hence our decision to cast our main character as an 18 year old who does make wrong decisions, but initially choses the right one before it's too late.

We also decided to cast Eve as a slender girl of average height with a pale skin and mousy hair colour, light blue eyes, quite plain coloured and ordinary clothing for a teenager, contrasting with the extraordinary situations she finds herself in within the film; clothing such as jeans, trainers and single coloured tops which become more dirty and dishevelled as the film progresses due to her lifestyle of poverty.

Jermaine
We decided to cast the role of Jermaine as a gaunt-looking 19 year old of average height, with dark skin and black hair. We wanted this character to be more advanced than Eve both through age and through experience with illegal drugs. We also wanted him to be attractive in a charming and unobvious way so that his character becomes more interesting for an audience and the relationship between Jermaine and Eve becomes more obscure and intense.

In terms of costume, we wanted Jermaine to look lethargic by dressing dishevelled and disolute, such as dark colours, denim, and casual t-shirts.

Eve's Dad
We decided to cast Eve's Dad as a stocky man of a height that's slightly below average. Our reasons for this are to to show the difference between the physical appearance of Father and Daughter, and also the emotional by directing him to act agressively towards her as a small child, then later when he smacks her across the face.

We wanted to show the conservative nature of Eve's whole family through this one man, therefore the costume we chose for him is smart/casual, for example, jeans and a collared shirt.
