Point 26 - Casting shots
Gordon Twiginam (Samuel Reid)
We've chosen this person as he takes A-Level Theatre Studies and so can act well and will be able to play the dorky character of Gordon Twiginam.
The Primary School Kids (Year 9 boys & girls)
We've chosen a group of year 9 boys and girls as these are the closest age to young primary school children.
Younger Gordon (Will Brockway)
This boy takes GCSE Drama and has a very bubbly personality and so loves to act and will be able to play this part well.
The Young Girl (Iona Simpson)
This girl has the characteristics of being very friendly so any boy would have a 'crush' on her and she is very innocent also.
The Secretary (Louisa Robertson)
This girl is very organised and polite and so would be ideal to play the role of a secretary.

Point 24 - Locations
Aberlour Playing Fields
The reason for choosing this location is because it's a big playing field with lots of room for the children to play around in and really act as if they are in their school playground playing.
The road from Chapel to G-House
This road is perfect for the character of Gordon to walk down because it's a long road and so we can use this to our advantage to have a long clip of him walking down trying to impress everyone while they look down at him and laugh. It is also the actual road leading to G-House and it can mimick the idea of a busy road in New York city.
Outside G-House (Zebra Crossing)
With the zebra crossing right outside G-House building we thought this was an ideal place for Gordon to fall flat on his face as a zebra crossing can represent a busy street and people will be walking by when he falls as this is the location everybody uses when walking across a busy road.
Inside G-House (Reception area, CB Staircase and Mrs Hawksley's Office)
G-House has the perfect staircase that we need in order to represent an office and the office in G-House looks rather like an office that a secretary would use in our film before you walk into the 'main' office (Mr Barton's).
