Character's list
- Liam Westmoreland
Youngest of two brothers. Prior to the war he was weapons technician who invented the most devastating infantry weapon known to man. This leads to him being abducted and forced to make it by the main antagonist. He is portrayed in formal wear a shirt, glasses etc. His role in the trailer is very small only appearing for a few seconds.
Actor - Ben Wildsmith
Ben is a trusted friend who I feel can deliver a realistic and trusted performance. Furthermore Ben is enthusiastic and understands the type of trailer I want to create therefore can contribute any ideas, Ben is outgoing and fun guy who goes for anything he does with integrity and effort. Therefore I know I can get a well rehearsed and well thought out performance from Ben.
- Grey Westmoreland
Older brother of Liam. Was a private in the military and was based at the same facility as his younger brother for a time. He is more of a soldier then his brother. He is physically more superior yet some of his brother's intelligence has brushed off onto him, only beginning to understand what the fate of the world would look like if his brothers weapon is created and wielded by the bandits present for his brothers abduction he walks for days after the ambush and stumbles across potential allies ... or enemies. A roguish outfit with a undershirt vest boots and black trousers. occasionally wearing a hoodie or jacket.
Actor - Adam Tooley
I am, at the moment, playing this role myself whilst directing. Although he is one of the main characters I feel that there is more to focus on then just the main character himself. I do have acting experience as I do drama as another a-level However this decision of me playing the character may change.
- Jack ''Sheriff'' Sinclair
Was a police chief prior to the events of this trailer, Sinclair is a sophisticated individual who appears as one of the main characters. Being in the position he is in he becomes one of the characters with authority over the others, however this is challenged by Grey's obsessive need to find his brother leading to these two characters locking horns from time to time. He's a fair and just individual who treats everyone as equals however has times of uncontrolled aggression especially towards the enemy. Wears a Stetson, denim jacket, holster and pistol giving off a very cliché cowboy look to the audience. A scarf round his neck and a pair of eye goggles.
Actor - Harry Rose
Harry is a well experienced actor. He utilizes a range of impressive techniques to create a realistic characterisation. That's why I believe Harry would be perfect for a role such as this, as he can pull off many roles and make them his own. Being a well experienced actor means he can contribute to the other actors on this project and give advice to allow them to improve their own performance. Although Harry doesn't study media he has a common interest of film and can give suggests on how shots can be portrayed through camera angles and how scenes should be put together. Harry gives well rehearsed performances.
- Roman ''Hazmat'' Sionis
An expert on the harmful effects of the wasteland. Sionis was a hazmat scientist prior to the events which unfold. This makes him a valuable asset to anyone who comes across him as he knows how to survive in this harsh wilderness. Sionis' character is calm and not arrogant. He is the type of guy to pick water over a shot gun as he knows that's what will ensure his survival, yet will take up arms against foes if needs be. As a hazmat science he will be wearing a hazmat suit with a gas mask.
Actor - Hasib Rehman
Hasib is a well experienced actor as he did drama at GCSE level. I feel that this character is similar to Hasib meaning that Hasib should be able to slip right into the shoes of this character quite easily. Hasib also suggests good ideas to contribute to the production and has offered to help with costumes and camera work.
-Elizabeth ''Lizzy'' Newton
Prior to the events that unfold Elizabeth was known to be unpredictable and rolled with some of the most notorious gangs. Often she had many run in's with the law especially Chief Jack Sinclair's unit. Now she must survive the wasteland with a 'gang' led by the officer who apprehended her on more than one occasion. Elizabeth is a free spirit moving from place to place and therefore gang to gang. We learn that at some point she was part of the main antagonist's gang later moving on coming across Chief Jack Sinclair and his group. She is much like a Tomboy who wears leather jackets and bandanas and knows how to fight back, probably more so then the men.
Actor - Tilly Boe Farmer
Tilly is another experienced actor who can also contribute to this project as she herself is doing her own project. I feel this characters is suited for her and she can also slip right into Lizzy's shoes. She is also a make-up artist and has offered to use her skills to create realistic make-up effects. Tilly has helped me with the development of this project therefore she understands the concept of my ideas and therefore knows my aims. Furthermore can help with camera work.
-Dr.Edward George ''Sawbones'' Arrowsmith
The reason half the group are still alive and the doctor who treats Grey after his ambush, subsequently saving his life. Arrowsmith was a surgeon prior to the events which unfold. He does not dismay from action, keeping his father's pistol close by. He's a quirky and comedic individual yet often appears strict taking charge of the group from time to time. Arrowsmith keeps a picture of his wife and young son close by. For him this is a source of motivation, and gives him the will to carry on and survive. As a doctor he would also wear similar clothing to Liam Westmoreland.
Actor- Daniel Bryne
Daniel is someone who gives a 110% in everything he does. Although he doesn't have much acting experience, to my knowledge, I feel he could pull off this character rather effectively. Daniel is very funny and I feel will be the source of comedic moments for this trailer if there is a time for them. he is also creative and if he has any suggestions for my project then he will immediately speak up to pitch those ideas.
- Tennessee Rogers
The final character of the project is the main antagonist. Living in this dystopian society has led to Tennessee to become the leader of a band of cut-throats, bandits. He fought his way up the ranks and now is their leader. Prior to the events that unfold Rogers was a sergeant in the Army and fought alongside Grey Westmoreland. Therefore he knew of his brothers creation and wants to replicate it so he can command beyond his bandit hide out. Him and Grey are not so different in terms of personality. They have both know the horrors of war and both respect one another, yet is that enough for Grey to save his brother from his old twisted comrades grasp. Roger's believes in survival of the fittest therefore wouldn't hesitate to kill one of his enemies ... or one of his friends. He would have a similar out fir to Elizabeth Newton's character. Leather jacket etc.
Actor - Stephen Torrance
Has some acting experience and gives his all when it comes to a practical activity ;) he will also be able to come up with contribution for the characters and the project overall. He is outgoing and can easily play rogers well as the villain of the trailer.
These are the people who I trust to give an effective and realistic performance for my project. Although it appears there are too many characters some will only make brief appearances in the trailer. There will also be extras who will play Roger's bandits in various fight sequences
