Actors

Main actor:

For my main actor I am going to cast my father as he is an adult, so it would make my product more realistic as my main character is supposed to be a soldier experienced in combat, so it would be unrealistic to have a younger person because it would be highly unlikely that they would have much combat experience. With my father being an actor it also means that I will be able to talk to him more about the plot of the film and what his character is like to make it more convincing, also it means he will be familiar with the props and how to use them, making it more realistic than having someone who is not experienced with a gun because it would not look right and would also make my film unrealistic. 

'German' actors:

For my 'German' actors I am going to see if I am able to ask some airsoft re-enactors to take part, as they will have all of he correct equipment and hopefully there will be quite a lot of them, which will allow me to make my film more realistic. If I am able to cast airsoft re-enactors it will mean they will have experience with a weapon and will be able to handle it more realistically, making my film more authentic, and also their weapons will be realistic, meaning that it will make my film look real than if I was using toy guns or ones that are brightly coloured.

If I am unable to cast some airsoft re-enactors I will have to look around and see if anyone else would be willing to play a German, I may not be able to have as many but I will be able to find someone.
I asked about possible actors to play German troop, and got a response from someone who is involved in a WW2 German reenactment group of about 260 people. He said that he would be in touch with possible actors to take part in my film.
