Thriller Cast!

The cast starring in our thriller are:
CHARACTER'S NAME / ACTORS:

Simon ---------------------- Ben Jones
Reason: We experienced a problem with our casting, someone dropped out at the last minute so we asked Ben to play Simon. He had the suitable look for the role so therefore we were pleased with our choice. He has an innocent face which Simon needs, as he was initially a good, hard working boy (at school). The way he dresses is influenced by the gang, for instance, whilst shooting our film, he wore a coat which was similar to the coat in the prop list. He was wearing a hat- like the one in the picture- which helps to hide his face, therefore hiding his identity. This is appropriate to the story, as they are going to be committing a crime.









Jitmal ---------------------- Mark Wright Premachandra
Reason: Mark had the appearance and attitude to suit the character. At first we did not think he would be able to play the role, so we prepared for Jakob to play both roles, as the older guy wasnt going to show his face. Mark suited the role well as he smokes, has darker skin- which will help appeal the film to a wider audience. Mark wears more brighter colours (red) in the film, as we thought he was appropriately dressed in the scenes he was in. The group of young men are all quite unprofessional so this helps by Mark wearing usual and casual wear.











Older guy -------------------- Jakob Montagu-Shaw

Reason: He's tall (which fits the character profile) and we generally thought he would be a good person for this role as he was willing to be in the film- acting and it was a good chance for him to mulit-task. The outfit which we thought of the man wearing was mostly to hide away any thing was most identfiable, for example, his face. We didn't give any information for the description for this character because it gave the character even more mystery- which we wanted to make clear. The questions created by this decision helps add to the sense of the film introduction being a thriller, as mystery is one of the main signifiers in thrillers. Even more, as the character is wearing dark clothes (hiding his identity), these adds to the mysterious.
