When coming up with our characters, we originally decided we wanted our friends Kasey Butler and Callum Morris to play our two main characters, which was how we named the characters. This was due to the fact that their image fit our expectations how we imagined the two characters to look.
However, when it came down to actually filming, it proved very difficult to get both Kasey and Callum together at the same time as they both had very busy schedules. In order to still continue with out project, we had to recast our characters. Although not our original choice of actors, Laura Hanley and Joe Portway were chosen to play the parts of Kasey and Callum.
We decided to keep Kasey Butler and Callum Morris as our character names. This was because we knew they were normal teenage names and also it ended up creating an identity for the characters, rather than the actors and the characters being the same. In addition, it makes our appear more professional as it is extremely rare that the character has the same name as the actor.
