Finding the right actors

-

 One of the biggest challenges in making my AICE Media Studies project feel authentic was finding actors with real Jamaican accents. Since my film has a strong Jamaican influence, I knew that the dialogue and delivery had to sound natural. Forced accents or unrealistic speech would take away from the story, so I made it a priority to cast the right people.

Getting the right actors with real Jamaican accents made a huge difference in the overall quality of my film. It brought authenticity to the story and made the characters feel more believable. Instead of just watching a movie, the audience will feel like they’re stepping into a real, lived-in world.


Now, with the right cast and powerful performances, my film has the voice it needs to leave an impact!

Now, with the dialogue locked in, the film feels even more real, and I can’t wait to see how audiences react to the way language...

We chose some decent sounds like the crowd going wild, aggressive grunting of the players playing, etc.
