Actors: I have one teenager who will be the star of the movie that will be dressed like a typical teenager and preferably of a BAME background as this will emphasise what I aspired to do in my statement of intent  Make-up: No makeup would be required for my trailer as I wish for it to have a realistic feel so it would make the movie seem fictionalised.
