I have already cast the person for my short film, Helena is 18 and has the right look for the part required for the film. She has pales skin and dark brown hair with a colour streak in it, linking loosely into the 'emo' stereotype. I have used Helena already in my short art film earlier on in the year and she has been a model for many of my photos for art so I already know what she can do; her strengths and weaknesses. I have also loosely based this character on Effie from the teen drama skins as she also drinks, smokes and takes drugs.
For the role of her sister will be casting my own sister as she has a similar look to helena, the same hair colour, this hopefully will provide anchorage to the audience that she is related. She also is 15 and looks much younger and smaller than helena, so she already fits into the role of the younger sister. She does not have any lines so it will not be a challenging role.
Costume wise it is not that challenging to find costumes for the character the main protagonist is playing is her age in the same time period, so jeans and converse trainers, a t-shirt, possibly with a band logo on and a dark jumper and also lots of wristbands. She will be wearing this outfit through out the film so there will be no change of outfit.
