Male actor number 2

Name: Kingsley Zachariah Ben-Adir

Age: 22

Height: 6ft?

Role: Man 1 (name tbc)

As mentionned before, King is an actual actor, so we are going to use this to our full potential and give him most of the lines.

Male Actor number 1

Name: Rick Allen

Age: 53

Height: 6ft

Role: Man 2 (name tbc)

This is my dad, who has graciously stepped in to be one of our male actors, alongside Kingsley Zachariah Ben-Adir (a.k.a King). He won't have to do much as he will just be sharpening the knives and filling the briefcase, with one line of dialogue (as he's not an actor).

Possible Victim

We've decided that either Laura or Amelia, who both do drama and want to be in it, should play the girl in our sequence. This will make things much easier - we know they will turn up to shoots, will actually care and can be in constant contact with them.



Name: Amelia Conway

Age: 16

Height: 5 foot 7



Amelia looks like a typical quirky, pretty teenager, and would work well in this role. Her screen test will determine whether she gets the part or not.

Possible Victim




Name : Laura Allen

Age : 17

Height : 5"6 ish??

Possible Role : Victim Girl


I am one of the possibilities, as I do drama and wouldn't mind doing it. This should've been done before the screen test, but it doesn't really matter because everyone in my group knows my name, age and estimated height..

The Villains

We have not really researched/decided what the two villains in our sequence will be like, so I've looked at how male murders of the same sort have been portrayed in these films. We need to decide on dress, make-up, voice, body language and personality.


Male murders in Films


1) Jules and Vincent from Pulp Fiction

Although these hitmen are a pair like in our story, the characters are too cool and too funny - although they are murderers, there is no enigma about their personalities or characters that scares the audience, which is what we want.

TO BE CONTINUED........

Possible Villain

Before we screen test the two men for our sequence, I thought I'd post a picture of my dad (a potential actor) just to mark the fact that we've thought of someone.



Name: Bill Thicknes
Age: 44
Height: 6 foot 1


We need the two men to be stocky, tall and menacing. Although this picture is friendly, when we screen test him we will try out different expressions, shot lengths and sample scripts. I think he will work well at this stage, and we know he will be reliable for the shoot.
