Cast

Casting was not something that was heavily focused on, but we realised that it was important to choose someone who many people (in this case our audience) would be able to somewhat relate to - this is called identification.

We initially chose Xenia Peter as our protagonist. The main reason was initially due to the colour of her eyes:

We wanted to really focus on the closeup of the eyes, as we felt there was a lot of significance in this shot for the opening. We also wanted to choose Xenia due to her eye colour mainly, as we saw felt that the opening was more of an art piece, rather than just a product.

We ran through difficulty in arranging dates for filming with Xenia however, and with the only possible plan with her, we would not have enough time to edit the footage and meet the deadline.

We decided on choosing someone for the role - Tanya Pongkanta.

The reason why I personally wanted to choose Tanya for the role was mainly ambiguity in ethnicity. Tanya's ethnicity is mixed, and it is not obvious. I felt that this ambiguity would help in the audience being able to relate with the protagonist.
