Who will be involved in the casting and be in role of the characters involved?

Kevin will be playing the role of the police officer.

James will be playing the role of the Freddie this person, is the antagonist that is focussed on within the opening sequence and stereotyped to be the ‘bad guy’.

Chanel will be the female character who is the innocent character and being chased by ‘Freddie’.

Kevin- The police officer

Kevin will be performing in the opening sequence of the police officer. This character is mysterious but also is questioning Chanel the innocent character. This character is conveyed as someone who is helpful and tries to get to the bottom of the situation. He wears formal clothing, to show that he is important, and has high authority.  He will be wearing black and white clothing to show and communicate what his type of job occupation is, so that it’s clear.  This police officer will be middle aged to show power, and that he’s experienced in the police force. This character will be male, because usually males are stereotyped to be the stronger gender and more powerful and dominant. In the opening sequence the police officer, won’t be shown much throughout only his hand for gesture purposes.

James- The mysterious character that chases Chanel, under the name of Mary Shaw.
James will be the mysterious male character that is chasing Mary. He wont be focused on a lot but he will be included in intense scenes within the opening sequence. 

By choosing the casting in advance allows us to choose the actors suited for the characters. For example, Chanel fits the character of Mary because of the similar appearances. This then gives us the time we need to help the actors choose how they want to develop their character to make it suit who they are preforming as.
