Picking our Actors


As previously mentioned we wanted our main protagonist to represent the 'everyman.' Our group all brainstormed who we thought would make a good protagonist. I believed Anthony Wilson would be great for the part as last year he was our best actor by far. I asked Anthony and he agreed to play the main protagonist. I believe this was a great choice as Anthony took Drama at GCSE which shows he has previous acting experience. This will make our character a lot more believable and will also make our film seem more professional.


One change we made to our film was to change how the Grim Reaper looked. We decided against the cliche Skeleton look and decided to make him look human. We also decided that his character will be mentally unstable and essentially be the one who turns the film into a 'Horror.' Anthony suggested I (Jack Windsor) should play this part and I agreed. However I believe we can find a better actor for the role but If we cannot then I will play it.

Update 13/12/10

After further discussion we decided to completely get rid of the Grim Reaper character in favour for another character who is also played by Anthony Wilson. Whilst It may sound ridiculous to have both of our main characters played by the same actor it is a crucially part of our new storyline as this other character serves as the main twist to our film.
