Preliminary Task - Actors

Actors

In terms of acting, we, as a group, decided that to make the film as good a quality as we could, we needed actors that made the narrative believable. This being said, we decided to use A Level drama students to capture the realism and bring the script to life. Mattie is an A Level drama student, and by recruiting her to help shoot our film, we had a good actress who could show emotion and who was comfortable in front of the camera. She has played a range of roles, and talking to Mattie as a group, we decided she would be best suited to the role of the Inspector, as she could use her acting qualities to portray this character in the best way.

As an A Level drama student, I also acted in our piece, I played the role of the defendant. In terms of character, I decided to use a range of emotions as the Inspector continued to break down my character's resolve, the intensity was matched with shot's getting shot and snappy to show the impatience and uncomfortableness of my character.

I think our choices of character enhanced our film as it made the narrative more believable but also easier to watch as it was less cringy and arguably more professional.
