Character Profiles

In the opening of our film, only two characters are involved. Here are their character profiles:

Hannah, is playing the role of our female in the opening of the film.
Playing the young, and in her position, vulnerable girl.
Having a sense of weakness and defencelessness, but adapting this to be more contemporary with the fact she put up a struggle in the situation. That she's powerful and determined enough to attempt escape than accept defeat.

Hannah was brilliant in her willingness to listen to what we wanted to create and help with shaping her movements to appear natural while the lighting and camera angle still worked in the shot.
Being a friend of ours, Hannah was someone we could easily get hold of and was reliable in terms of fitting in with the filming time schedule we had.

In the opening to our short film, Robert played the role of the male character.
For costume; able to supply us with a business-like shirt, tie, shoes, trousers and suit-coat.
The look created with the costume is just what we wanted. Even the small, specific details of the shoes creating the right diegetic sound when we recorded down the alleyway.
We had easy access to all the locations; it was easy to match our schedule with Roberts. Ensuring we had enough time to do run-throughs; testing everything out before filming properly, in the daylight. Then arranging to film with darker lighting, before it got too dark for the cameras.
As Robert is my Father, he was a reliable member of the cast. It was also easy to explain and run him through our ideas before commencing filming.
