Casting
Casting was a real issues for this project like I've stated in previous posts. Eventually we went with a middle aged man to play both the elderly man and the younger man and our reasoning for this is because he fit the part perfectly. With a beard he looked far older than he actually was, because of this we didn't record the intro in chronological order. We filmed the 1950's parts first where he had a beard, once we did this he then shaved it and we moved on to record the flash backs.
As for the son we had a few ideas and initially had a different actor who then was unable to act in the end causing us to use our other actors son which worked out very well as they look similar.
Overall casting took a very long time to decide as we wanted this to be perfect which meant perfect casting.
