Protagonist Actor - Aaron Mays

Due to the limited amount of people available for our film, even though we are

 considered to be the next big thing coming out of London, we have had to

 choose an older looking fellow student of ours instead of a more adult actor to play

 the protagonist of a policeman. The reason for this is because due to the 

narrative, a tale of revenge from some years ago, the actor needs to look like 

he has had enough experience at the job to have a position in the force such as 

this as well as being taken seriously. Strange as it sounds, the criteria we were

 mainly looking at were build and whether a beard was possible, which for our final 

choice, it was. Below are two images, both from before 6 months ago, showing how even 

then he would have been a relatively safe choice for the part.

Gabriel (Pictured above) was the easiest and most practical choice for the part, especially 

considering he is not going away during the Christmas holidays when we wish to get 

the majority of our filming done. He is also considered good looking, so the implied 

relationship with the girl which is first established in act two is also not so farfetched/has 

some tangibility. With quite a muscular build and a decent height he does not look too 

scrawny or short to play the part, and would gain support from our piers for the play due 

to being well known throughout other schools. A sort of South East London 

Ryan Reynolds. More posts are to come showing him in costume, with any props needed. 

Costume:

There will be various costumes and props which will be needed during the production of our film,

 especially for the protagonist. In the opening scenes of act 1, being inside school, we will use 

Gabriel's school uniform as it looks smart and resembles that of an office situation. This 

means that when it comes to filming in central London for the opening shots we must have

 him wearing the same things. Images of this costume are shown below. 

After this, during the raid scene, he will be wearing all black as is typical among films of the genre. 

This includes black jeans, a black crew neck with a black or white shirt underneath and possibly

 a bullet proof vest if we can get a hold of one. This will be constant among the next few scenes

 where he is on the run as he would not have gone home. 

In terms of props, the idea of having a gun is essential for the film, however with the 

majority of filming being done on the south bank this may be difficult due to ethical 

and practical issues. Because of this we will attempt to do the majority of filming in 

relatively empty areas, as well as taking shots both without guns and with to keep the 

narrative consistent. This decision also came about because of how tacky some student films 

can look when using a pistol.
