Actors, Outfits and Significant Props

We carefully chose our actors and outfits as these are key to creating a character. The actor will have to capture the personality and lifestyle of the character to help create a more convincing character for the audience to connect with. The outfit of the character and the appearance of the character gives an instant perception to the audience. The actors who will be representing each character are (In order of appearance):
      • Postman - Alex Williams
      • Wilf - Joe Pike
      • Ziek - Rowan Penn-Williams
      • Noah - Luke Parkin
We also chose the basic outlines for the outfits with room to maneouvre depending on how we feel they fit into the scene:
  • Postman
    • Polo Shirt, Tracksuit Bottoms, Newspaper bag
We chose this as this is how you would typically expect as postman or teenage delivery boy to be dressed as they deliver letters.
  • Wilf
    • Plain Pajamas (when going downstairs)
    • Plain Shirt, Jeans (living room scene)
We chose this as it fits under the smart casual dress sense of today that is considered trendy. This makes the character look reasonable responsible as well as modern and youthful, which is how we want the character's personality to come across.
  • Ziek
    • T-shirt, Boxers (bedroom)
    • Buttoned shirt, Jeans (living room scene)
We chose this as it makes the character seem modern with a rockstar edge as well as seeming to have no responsibility and self pride about his image, proven by his nightwear. We want the character to come across as careless and lazy, which is what the bedroom outfit portrays. The living room outfit gives him the rockstar look as well as an image of independency and self chosen fashion, as if he cares little of what other people think and is prideful of his own fashion.
  • Noah
    • Shirt, Jeans (outside)
    • T-shirt, Jeans (living room scene)
We chose these outfits as they also give a touch of modern day trend as well as a bit of the rockstar image. The shirt and jeans he wears in the field shows he's been out partying for the night and has gone woken up with little sense of where he is. The outfit looks smart but will be scruffy and messy to show he started with the sense of being trendy but ended up going ove the top. The outfit in the living room shows a more casual and laid back side to the character, showing he just chills out and does nothing in his spare time. It also gives the idea he stays indoors a lot if he's not out partying.


We will also have to arrange certain props for a scene to add to the storyline or effect;
  • Outside Front Door Scene
    • Paperbag
    • Letter
  • Inside Front Door Scene
    • Letter
  • Bedroom Scene
    • Pizza and Pizza Box
    • Clothes (Scattered on Floor)
    • Magazines
  • Outside Scene
    • Plantpot
  • Living Room Scene
    • Guitar Hero
    • Console
    • TV
