casting decision
We chose Emily to be the Yurei as she was similar in size, she also has a very youthful look. As well as having the long black hair which is one of the yurei's defining features and therefore was essential to the her casting. This role was probably the most essential in casting as it was the most iconic role within the entire trailer.
We chose Jacob as our main protagonist as he looks like Leonardo Dicaprio and we thought that his similarities in appearance would some how transcend into his acting talent therefore making him a more effective protagonist. We also chose Jacob as he gave the impression to us that he could pull of the look off an emotionally frail and innocent at the same time.
We chose Cameron for the role of the therapist as he looks like Mel Gibson, we felt this was a good casting choice as like Mel Gibson, the therapist is emotionally insane. Though it is not the most important casting choice as the character's face is never seen but the therapist is just supposed to represent a different part of the protagonists mind.
We considered Harrison for the role of the protagonist as he looks like Johnny Depp and seemed able to give of an emotional display and appear emotionally vulnerable. However in the end we chose against him as we felt his tall and strong stature would give the impression of a strong and emotionally stern individual.
