Actors: updated

In our film, we have four characters. Our protagonist is a male character, and a female character features at the end of our opening. Our male characters are played is played by Thomas Keeble and Laurie Taylor. Although both young so they do not have much experience our target audience will engage with young actors more than say someone who is in their thirties. Physically both of our actors fit their role requirements very well. For the protagonist, played by Laurie, some may say he stands out. This is because of his red hair and punk style. Our other actor, Thomas Keeble, is tall with a broad build, therefore in dark lighting he appears to be quite menacing and threatening.

One of our characters, although not featuring a lot in our opening, was important when considering physical aspects such as height. We decided on Caitlin Mapes, a college student who was formerly a drama student and has had experience with playing other female flirtatious characters such as Audrey in a Little Shop of Horrors stage production. We have decided to put a modern twist on the classic femme fatal, red is commonly used in Film Noir to connote danger, love, and passion to the audience, this is either done through a classic red lipstick, lighting or clothing. Red clothing can also convey a sense of seductiveness about the femme fatal. Catlin, one of our actors, has red hair. We are taking the usual film noir conventions and applying it to a modern day situation.
 Isabella Hurren and Lucy Hiscox feature in the very first scenes our our opening, neither have had acting experience however physically they fit the part of our characters.
