Talent sourcing

When it came to casting for our trailer, we had a very clear vision on what we wanted our characters to be like and the look we wanted. However, preferably, we needed our cast to be people we knew so they were reliable when it came to our multiple filming sessions. Therefore, we chose Jordan (someone in our group) to portray the character of George. We asked a boy we knew called Jack to portray the character of Archie. This was because he had the right look we were looking for, he was the right age and he also had acting experience. For the character of Robbie,  we used someone from our school who studied Theatre Studies at A-Level and also had external acting experience. He also had the right look for what we visioned.

Our Name

Our group had a discussion on what we could call our film. We found this quite a hard task because we wanted it to have name that met our genre, was easy to remember and also created suspense.

Here are some of our ideas below:

-White lies
-Take it's course
-A string of secrets
-The right one
-Maybe one day


After lots of consideration, we decided to name our film, 'The Deep End'. This relates to our underwater scenes and it also is a good metaphor for the situation the characters find themselves in.

Production Company Profile

This is the logo for our production company, 'Super 8 Productions.' In our trailer, we replaced the black with a transparent background, making it more aesthetically pleasing. We chose the name Super 8 Productions because we wanted to create a Super 8 Footage feel.
