Who will be involved in the casting and be in role of the characters involved?

Kevin will be playing the role of the police officer.

James will be playing the role of the Freddie this person, is the antagonist that is focussed on within the opening sequence and stereotyped to be the ‘bad guy’.

Chanel will be the female character who is the innocent character and being chased by ‘Freddie’.

Kevin: Kevin will be performing the role of a police officer. He is a very mysterious and hidden character as he is presented throughout the opening sequence in the dark. This is very useful as is adds a lot of tension within the audience as they wonder and continue to wonder who this man is in the dark and when will he be revealed and why is he hidden. He wears normal formal clothes presenting him as a normal person just with a just to him as he is in the darkness. The police officer will be middle ages, so 30-40 to show that he is powerful and not old and vulnerable. Making the police a male enables him to be clearly more powerful than the girl being interviewed as men are stereotypically presented as the stronger gender. The only part of the his body that is revealed from the darkness is his hands which brings major relevance to the opening sequence.

James: Another unseen character which is mysteriously chasing Chanel leaving the audience in wonder as to why he is chasing her. he is quite an icon as it brings many questions to the audiences head as to why he is chasing her, what is he doing in the area at that time, who is he etc. 

Chanel: Chanel is the main character who is extremely vulnerable throughout the opening sequence. We chose to make the victim a female as females are stereotypically presented as the weaker gender and that males have more power over them and are more dominant as they are physically stronger, this is why the other two characters are males.
