Casting and Costumes.

Jess Lax (Mysterious Assasin)- When thinking of the idea for our film and scripting the opening we had the look in mind for our women assasin. We were looking for someone who could pull of a mysterious look preferably with a fringe to cover the eyes and someone who had has some acting experience. Jess having been in all the school productions and being my girlfriend too was an easy option to rope in for the filming process. The costume we thought of a month ago when starting the concept phase as a group was her in a black dress and heels (the heels are important as her feet are planned to be in full shot for a substantial time of the shot including her).  Another aspect of her outfit is the neckscarf we have chosen to add to the effect of her mysterious personaliy as it is the film opening we are hoping to create some retardation as to Jess's characters act and presence in the film.

Jake Seymour (Business Man)- Jake again is one of our friends and is up for volunteering to play a part in our opening. he has less acting experience than Jess but is playing an easier part. He is working late night in his home office and hears a bang at the door when he looks out the door comes back to realist that his tea is vibrating suggesting movement in the room he then steps forward to reveal the main character Charlie the Assasin. Jakes outfit is meant to represent his destress at the situation but still keeping in mind the verisimilitude of him being a businessman. His open collar shirt will give the image that he is working out of hours.

Charlie Rix (The Assasin)- Charlie is an extremely good actor and him being in our group is a real plus side. He is going to play the main assasin and me and George have full confidence in him making the part beliavable. His costume and gun are obviously very important for the versimilitude of the film. The gun we are going to borrow from our friend and is a BB gun but very realistic especilly when you are not to close up to it. And Charlie is going to wear a biege zip up jacket done all the way up with his colllar up to boost his secretive personality and to almost replicate a football hooligans violence. The rest of his outfit for our opening is just going to be a black pair of jeans and black shoes to try and represent as best we can an assasin and his mysterious start to the film as a character.

Jack Reynolds (Victim in the car)- My character is a lowlife and is going to be represented in this way with a hoody and jeans etc his hair is going to be out of place and he should act as if he knows he has donr something which may come back on him at night ( and it does in the dark car park).
