Casting

CASTING

The characters in the opening scene are: Dominic, Aaron, Kate. Danny will be acting as ‘Dee’ who is a local person, he goes to secondary school and has been labelled a trouble maker by the police, the other character Aaron who will be played by me (Azzari) is DJ’s best friend who is also labelled by the police as a trouble maker, he goes to the same school as DJ and live on the same estate and both of the boys are in constant trouble with the law. 

There aren’t any older characters in the film so the casting is specific, if there is any older characters, they will b e included in the film as normal pedestrians getting on with their every day life.

DJ and Aaron will be wearing tracksuits which is relevant to their age (15-16), they will obviously not be wearing formal shoes because they are not that type of character, instead they’ll be wearing trainers which matches their light, fast and quick lifestyle. The appearance of the two main characters will not be scruffy, instead they’ll be clean but their attire may be a little dirty, maybe dirt stains on the knees, just to add it to the boyish effect.  Danny and Azzari will be playing the two 16-year-old boys which will be realistic as they are both sixteen years old in real life. This will increase the characters’ credibility and make our target audience, young adults, empathetic towards ‘Dee’ and ‘Aj’ (Dominic and Aaron). We then move on to the appearence of the murderer whos identity is kept secret however in terms of appearence the murderer will be wearing a big dark coat hat and black gloves to emphasis on the darkness of what he is doing as he is commiting a murder.

The performance of the two main characters will have to contrast, they go from being calm and collect while they are having a conversation and eating into being worried and anxious when they bump into the dead body and read what is on the phone.
