Casting

Casting:

In our media opening scene we only have 3 characters. This is due to it being a hostage scene and doesn't need to many people to film the scene. Little speech is said to make the scene intense and get the audience to engage in trying to figure out how Joel Beckford ended up there. 

Jack Rundle- Joel Beckford

Jack will play the main character being held hostage. This is feedback taken from our focus group on making the main character male. Jack is very confident in himself meaning it will be easy for him to take up the main role and adapt it as his own. 

Josh Worrall- Bodyguard 

Josh will play a bodyguards keeping Joel Beckford hostage. We picked Josh to play the bodyguard as he is very tall and his will make the villain be very intimidating. Josh is very serious meaning he will stick to his role. Josh will be wearing a pair of sunglasses in order to stick to the convention of a bodyguard as well as being bulky unit.

Luke McKendry- Villain

I will be playing the villain interrogating Joel Beckford and in charge of the bodyguard. I will be wearing a suit to show my importance and dominance as well as a main speaking role. i am the perfect fit as my contrast in height to the bodyguard is a convention from the genre as well as  being very confident to play the role.

Jack Davenport- Camera man/By stander

Jack will be the main camera man rotating around the cast not in the scene so everyone can say they recorded a part of the opening sequence. Jack was assigned this role based on knowledge of camera shots, angles and movements. We also assigned him a by stander role just so we could add another character to help improve our narrative.
