Comparing Main Actress

Dakota Fanning:

Dakota Fanning is a very popular and very wellknown actress.  She started acting when she was very young and has continued to carry on her career as she got older.  In our film we need a actress that is just like her when she was younger as she showed real emotion which was very believable.  She played a very convincing role in a film call 'I am Sam' (2001) she played a 7 year old girl with a Dad who was
mantally handicapped, had to look after herself and to a degree after her Father from a very young age. 
In our film we need a young actress who can show raw emotion just like this.  We need her to look realistic and believable and for the audience to connect with her.

Dakota not only connected with the audience but connected really well with her fellow actors for example in 'I am Sam' Dakota co-starred with Sean Penn who was her on screen Father.  Through the way they both acted it was believale that they were related.  She also acted in 'War of the Worlds'(2005) and was the daugther of Tom Cruise, just as in 'I am Sam' she related really well to Tom Cruise and it was totally believable that he was her Father.

Just as Dakota can show real emothion she can also be really hard faced if required when acting. For example in the 'Twilight Saga' she plays a villain vampire and we see a different side to her acting skill from the innocent young girl to the unemotional, hard villain vampire.

In our film the young girl will need to display many emotions, at the beginning of the film she is a normal happy child but as the film continues she has to show that she is frightned and her emotions will change throughout the film.
