Actors

For our Thriller we only needed 2 actors.
Jordan Howes - Main Character
Tosh Goldspink - Debt collector


We needed the main character in the first part of the opening to be clean cut and look like a person of authority. Jordan's voice will be used in the voice over. The voice over helps tell more information on the main character.

Although his hair is messy in the photo we actually did some alterations and made him look like a typical business man. The suit helps create this affect. We thought thatJordan would be a good actor because he showed that he could play both parts of this character and show the meaning behind the story.

This is what the main character looks like in the second part of the opening. We thought that having Jordan in ripped jeans would help create the feeling of him loosing everything and that he has to deal with what he has. This will help to create engima because the audience willl be wondering what happened to make him end up like this from being a highly respected man.

We dresses the debt collector in all black to help symbolies the characters sophistication and bring deeper mystery to him. The debt collector is wearing suit trousers to emply he is a man that takes things seriously. The over coat helps show that he is a practical thinker. So he is likely to think practically where the man character would hide. We thought that Tosh would be a good actor for this part because he has played similar characters in plays and we thought he could use his experience to make the character better.

Treatment

The subgenre is British Gangster and is inspired by ‘Layer Cake’ with the use of voiceover by the main character and contrast between smartly dressed characters and non-smartly dressed characters. In the opening there is a man who talks about his amazing life using a voiceover and the camera shows his life and family but then he goes into the bathroom and washes his face and when he looks up he’s changed and the tone of the voiceover changes with him, he walks out of the bathroom and the scene changes to an abandoned house where he is hiding from a debt collector. The character is now scruffily dressed and the debt collector is smartly dressed which creates a contrast between them. The character hides from the debt collector (no running or chase scenes) and he finds him and shines a light at his face and the picture freezes, although the voiceover continues for a few seconds before the scene ends. The location’s we are going to use are an abandoned house, a bathroom and a field. The abandoned house gives an eerie feeling and sets the atmosphere, the bathroom contrasts with the dark house and acts as a link between the characters new and old life. The field is an open but deserted space which implies the characters loneliness. The scene creates an enigma as the audience is left wondering why the character is being chased and why his life changed so much, if the film continued it would tell the characters story of why he changed and what happened between the two scenes shown in the opening.
