Chloe StreetAS Media Coursework Pre Production

COSTUMES, ACTORS AND PROPS

Jack – “Toby” I will be using my cousin Jack to play the role of Toby, the child in my film.I believe that Jack is the best person to play this role as I know him very well so co-operation will be extremely easy and he has the perfect look for thecharacter I imagined when creating Toby. In the first two minutes of my film I have decided that Jack will wear this “onesie” and this is mainly because of the colour. I really like how it was red to resemble the danger that he is creating and the “Angry Birds”can create the childish spin in the anger and danger that he makes/creates but it’s alsovery childlike and could come across as a playfulchilds “onesie”.

ACTORS AND COSTUMES

Sarah – Sarah “Mum” I have chosen Sarah Hearn to play the role of the mother in my

film. This is because Jack has known her for a long time and is comfortable around which will make the filming process a lot easier. She is also an A-Level Drama student making her acting more believable to the audience.

For Sarah's costume, I have chosen a purple jumper as typically purple has positive connotations for example: Loyalty and nurturing which is what I want my audience to see in Sarah’s character. The jumper shows she is casual like a typical mother would be.

I have also worked with Sarah before on my GCSE Media project so I know how she works, her limitations and her strengths and weaknesses before we begin filming.

ACTORS AND COSTUMES

Alex – “School Teacher” I have chosen Alex James to be the school teacher in

my film. I have not had to think about his relationship with Jack as they barely film a full scene together.

I’ve chosen Alex because I believe that he has the look to be a teacher and would be very believable to the audience. I have also worked with him before so I will know his strengths and weaknesses before we begin production.

I have chosen for him to wear a suit as typically teachers are dressed smart.

ACTORS AND COSTUMES

I imagine his costume being similar to this one.

The main props I will be using in my film are toy trains. This is for Jack “Toby” to play with and are the reason for the events to follow. Without the toy trains I wouldn’t be able to shoot my film.

I also need a toy car for the toy trains to crash into them as this is the main storyline for the firs two minutes of my film
