We had trouble with the sound of our original filming as one of our actors was quite quiet so we decided to get new actors to play the main characters.
We decided to ask a black British male to play the main role of Jared in our film as we thought it would add another dimension to the area of representation as we could make it look like we were following a typical stereotype of a black male smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs then at the end we would break it by showing that actually he was a nice guy and Carrie was just hallucinating, we're breaking the typical racial stereotype, like in the film attack the block.
We're making it clear at the end that the stereotype is broken by having a picture on the newspaper of Jared in smart neat clothing and having Carrie's mum say that Jared was never on drugs and look confused and horrified at Carrie's mention of it.
