Planning For Final Film: Actors

For this task we have had to decide what actors that we want to be starring in our final preliminary film, actors serve a very crucial role to a film because the right actor can really help to make an opening scene a more gripping and suspenseful experience for the audience and to make that the opening scene flows and has the correct effect that we intended it to have on the audience. 

For actors, we needed people to fill 3 roles: we decided to have a young male lead role, a older male as a speaking part only to depict a telephone conversation and someone who would have a small part of retrieving the bag in the elevator when our protagonists gives it to him. For the lead part it meant we had to find someone who would be able to adapt easily to playing the part of someone who was both doing something severely wrong as well as wanting to only do good. Someone who was struggling to find out the truth about his current situation, We wanted him to be interesting looking with a natural sense of good style and confidence this was more important than having someone who was full of experience in performing. We decided it would be best to find someone who at least one of us knew well, this meant that it would be more easy for them to perform in front of our small team and in front of cameras and would mean they didn't have any reluctance throughout the filming process, We also needed someone who was going to add a unique and strange sense of dislocation to the opening scene.
