Characters and Castings

Archie
Archie is going to be the main character in our thriller opening scene. This character was part of a gang with friends until the murder of his brother. This character is 19 years old and had a bad reputation. But since his close brothers murder he has turned his back on his gang because a member of the gang was the reason for his borthers death. The beginning of the film is a slow start as this will show how hurt and lonely he is without his brother and this will set the scene for the thriller opening.

Nathan
Nathan is the main characters brother who is his twin brother. He was the newsest member to the gang and the most naive and innocent, but this didn't always mean he ended up in the right situations. Being the newest to the gang always made him do their dirty work and he didn't always feel comfortable about with these decisions but his brother was always there to try and help him out. When Nathan refused to do a job that was given to him by the gang leader it resulted in death.

Gang Leader/Murderer 
He is a very sly and serious character when it comes the gang and their jobs, the gang is the most important thing is his eyes and when it comes to crime and jobs they do, he will do anything to make sure they are completed. He is the murderer of Nathan and the fact that he is the gang leader it gives him higher status and authority over all of the gang members and definitely Nathan.

Castings

We decided to use Jack (Hattie's brother) to play Archie and Nathan as the characters are twins. He was a good candidate because he around the correct age of what we were looking for. Also he was convenient as he was able to help us out at any time. Unfortunately this was a problem as it wasn't completely obvious that he was supposed to be acting two people not just one. We used Martin (Hattie's Dad) as he was around at the time we wanted to film also the we were filming in his house so it was convenient to use him. He is going to play the part of the murderer/gang leader as he needed to be older so it looked like he had more experience leading gangs. He was maybe a bit older than we anticipated, but it wasn't much of a problem once we dress him correctly.
