 CASTING

Figure 1

Figure 2

We have decided that our protagonist will be played by me (Sean Oyebanjo), There are many reasons why we have opted for this as a group. Firstly we are obviously going to be heavily reliant on our protagonist when we are recording scenes as he will be in nearly every scene. Therefore we need someone who we can rely on, and as it is coming up to christmas and there are mock exams also coming up a lot of our prospective actors are going to be very busy revising and doing academic activities.

As a result we have decided that I will take on the main role because not only will I be available but more importantly I have a vision on how the character should be portrayed and I think it will be easier for me to portray the character than another actor. 

Also I am currently studying Drama and so I have experience in acting, this should help me as I should have the required skills/knowledge to portray the character effectively.

On the right and left are some shots we have taken of my character's two main costumes. We plan to emphasise the fact that he has a drastic change from being a fashionable young man(Figure 1) to becoming a stereotypical representation of young black men in London(Figure 2).

Furthermore we have also casted our second main character (Lorenzo). In our trailer Lorenzo plays a key role as the story revolves around him. As a result he will be needed for many shots as well and so we needed someone who we could rely on . For the same aforementioned reasons , we have decided to go for someone from our group just because it makes filming a lot easier to manager and control. As a group we decided that our Audio Engineer (Enzo) will play the character of Lorenzo because we believe he will suit the role. Figure 3 shows Enzo in his costume

Finally we wanted to all be involved in acting and so our cameraman, who will obviously be recording most of the scenes will still have a role. He will play one of the people who Sean sells drugs to. The reason why we have chose to cast our Cameraman is because we believe he will suit the role and it allows us all to be involved in the trailer, in terms of acting.
