For this character we wanted her to be beautiful and have an innocent and naive persona, as then it would make sense how she is lured into the trap. Her innocence being taken advantage of by Scott could also make the audience feel sympathy for Layla's character and almost be fearful for her as she is unaware of the trouble that lies ahead creating dramatic irony. Again, we wanted her to be relatable and likeable for the audience so they can relate to her and make the situation that more tragic.
We wanted to cast a dark hair and dark eyed girl for her character to perhaps present piercing features of her face and adds mystery to her character which adds to Scott's confusion of why she wont love him back, we also wanted her to contrast with Scott (having light hair and light eyes) so Scott's appearance would make him seem more like the angelic character to make the audience feel sympathy for Scott at the beginning, being rejected by Layla.
We also felt she should be quite seductive so the audience can see the temptation to Scott and presents sexual tension. In the trailer she would be wearing different outfits to show time passing but she would wear prevocative colours such as black and red which could contrast with her innocent persona.
Inspired by Kristen Stewart, dark hair, dark eyes and pale complexion.
