Role during filming- Director

Names of all the actors:
James Davies, Jodie Neighbour, Mohamed Ali, Brandon Coomes, Sam Casse, Ilhan Mohamed, Bianca Daniel-Roberts, Riannah Linton-David, Rohit Paul, Natasha swan, Tanisha Sharma, Kevin Ramkalawon and Patrick Rai



Both I and Mikaela Lawrence took our cast's contact details, so that any problems and conflicts such as attendance can be dealt with by one of us.



We each gave the crew members the shooting schedule, a copy of the storyboard and informed them of the possible risks that they may encounter, this is so that they can be informed and be organised in time for the filming.

Why James, Jodie and Mohamed play the main characters:

James Davies 
James fits in with Richard-Henry's physical character description. He is tall and wears his hair in a smart jelled quiff - very much like how we envisioned Richard-Henry's hair to be. He walks in a slow, somehow noble way. He has an excellent drama background, as he attends weekly private drama classes in Pinewoods Studios, he previously attended TheatreTrain, performing locally, he also gained an A grade in AS Drama, James recently applied for NYT (national youth theatre) as he wants to go in the acting route later in life.






















Jodie Neighbour   
Jodie is well suited to play the character of Louise, she is confident when acting in front of a huge crowd and doesn't mind being filmed. She is also currently taking AS Drama and wants to go in the performing arts route. Her physical features (dark eyes and curly hair) makes her the best candidate to play Louise.

























Mohamed Ali 
Mohamed is tall and has a bold personality, he looks strong which fits in well with Ben's physical character description.























Those who auditioned to play the main characters but were unsuitable: 





Patrick Rai
Patrick originally auditioned for the role of Richard-Henry but because he didn't look convincing as Richard-Henry I decided to cast him as one of the gang members instead, this is because he is confident in front of the camera and posses a tough look, perfect for the role of being one of the gang members.






















Rohit Paul 
Rohit auditioned for the role of Ben, as he didn't fit in with the character's physical description we decided to give him the role of a gang member. This is because he has a bold and somewhat daring posture. He is also camera confident and plays the role of an arrogant character well.




















Equipment to be used during filming: 

Iphone 5 and its charger 
Sony camera and its charger
Memory stick for the camera

We used an Iphone 5 and a Sony camera, because one of the conventions of social realism films is to use handheld cameras. I felt that by using handheld cameras, viewers can bond with the storyline more, as the video clips are rough and look as if taken from another character's view point.
They are devices which are simple to function and operate, allowing users to easily film clips without hesitation and any further practice.
We also bought a memory stick for the camera, to provide us with more camera memory, to record clips.











More info on our target audience;

 I have learned that our target audience as already stated on previous posts, are both genders and are young people age 16 - 21 years old.
This particular age group have good experiences with new media technologies, as they were born during the decade in which the world experienced great technology advancement, they are digital natives; anyone born earlier than them are digital migrants who had to first familiarise and adjust their lives to these new technologies.

The 16 - 21 years old age group has had the benefit of living with economically advantageous parents living a good luxurious middle income life, whose parents were the ones that first had the good economic opportunity. Mechanisation throughout the years has enabled these families to have more free time as machines grew more efficient and sustainable throughout the years.

Young people during the sixties however, had a different lifestyle as they already worked since they were 13 years old, they also supported their family with the money they received. They had a limited amount of leisure time as their time was taken mostly up by school work and work.

The young people that I am targeting (aged 16 - 21 years old) on the other hand, are required to attain employment at an older age of sixteen years old, any persons working below this minimum age are considered to be working illegally. They undoubtedly have more free time, hence why crime rates have risen staggeringly high than previous levels.  They were born during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

My target audience would typically dine in fast food cheap restaurants such as Mcdonalds and KFC, this is because they may still be in higher/further education and are in part time jobs hence they may have to save a considerably high amount of money in order to live a decent lifestyle.

They would typically shop in low budget clothing shops such as Primark and H&M. Other stores include HMV and  CEX where they can buy DVDs, CDs and gadgets.

Their favourite programmes include shows such as Eastenders and Waterloo road - both shows  focuses on young people, they watch these programmes as they can relate to the dilemmas that the characters face. 

They're music taste would typically be mainstream music such as dance, pop and R&B were they can hear it play on the radio everyday. This includes artists such as Rihana, Chris Brown, Katy Perry and Avicii.
