Character Casting and Justification

In our opening title sequence, we decide to have three main actors who play the antagonist and one minor who is the protagonist. There is also one final actor who has one shot within the scene.

The two main characters are female actors; we decided to have females playing the antagonists as it is something you wouldn’t stereotypically see in any film, especially not action. One of the female actors, who is myself, studies drama so I am used to being in front of the camera and it didn’t put me off being directed to do anything. Linking to this, we decided we wanted to use the countertype of the protagonist being a male as you wouldn’t expect the male to be hunted down by two females. We have done this as we believe it is quite original and we have used a flip story to make it that little bit more intriguing to watch.

The female character who only has one scene is also our film person for the majority of the sequence. This is because she studies photography and is familiar with the mechanics of the equipment and knows angles and shots that work well. However, we decided that it would be good if all of our group was involved in the opening sequence, but also because it then gave the rest of the group an opportunity to film.

Overall, we made the right decisions with what roles people play and everyone has an equal importance.
