Actors

This is our main actor Jordan Howes, the image above shows Jordan before the transformation from being a successful businessman with a family to being a moneyless scrounging scumbag. The suit gives Jordan the sense of authority and formality that the character needs in this scene. He will also have and expensive phone that he will be using to reinforce the sense of successfulness that is needed in this scene. In the photo above he has curly untouched hair, in the actual filming he had combed back hair to make him seem more professional less causal and scruffy. The main point of the slicked back hair, suit, expensive gadgets and smart shoes is to contrast as much as possible to the second scene in which Jordan is dressed completely oppositely to the first scene.

In the second scene Jordan is meant to be a homeless penniless scumbag. We told Jordan what we wanted in his costume and he came along to the shoot in this, after a few adjustments to the cloths (such as ripping the jeans and rolling down a muddy hill) we took the picture. We wanted to show the characters gradual decline into the sate he is now in by his cloths. We also asked him not to brush his hair as he did in the first scene; this was to create the rough look that we wanted fro him. We also asked him not to shave for a week, but this didn’t show out that much in the filming sadly. The main objective in this character was to strongly contrast the same character in the first scene and show the decline of the character just by his costume and look.

The last character is played by Tosh Goldspink; he does A level theatre studies so he was perfect. He also had all the correct attire for the part (the jacket, shoes, trousers and shirt). We didn’t really need to worry about what he looked like to much because we were not showing his face to create the sense on mystery and enigma. He does need to look a little build up. But we could just pad out his jacket more. The reason we want him to wear the expensive smart cloths is to create the look of him looking like he earns a lot of money but from something sinister. I think his jacket and his stance reinforce this idea.
