Cast + Characters

We will be using our friends as the cast members. Several of our close friends have experience in the acting industry and have featured as extras on hit dramas on national television which credits our production very well. As they are close friends we can trust them and they will be reliable, which is an important factor when filming as they will listen to us, be on time and follow instructions as well as giving their own input.

We will be casting:
2 Gangster characters
1 Victim
5 friends
As a group we will be getting involved as characters, editors, cameramen and directors.

Costume

In terms of costume we planned out two ideas for the two different concepts we came up with, one modern and one ‘retro’ and ‘old-skool’.

Modern:
-‘Gangsters’ will wear formal "gangster coats"
-Victim will be a smart casual male in a pair of chino trousers, checkered shirt and Harrington style jacket. This dress code is identifiable with the mod revival/skinhead youth subcultures of England in the 1980's. British viewers will be able to identify this, and this further reinforces the British feel of our trailer. Also the fact that he is dressed in such a manner reflects his studious nature of the teenage character

‘Retro/Old-Skool’
-‘Gangsters’ will be identifiable with retro style tracksuits and large logos on t-shirts, bright colours will also be apparent in trainers and maybe on some of the clothing detail. They will still have an essence of smartness and wealth about them.
-Victim will be in jeans and a shirt or retro styled coat/jacket.
-Fake facial hair to comply with the 90’s cop image.
