Costume, Cast and Props



I was cast as the 'victim' as I am 6' 3" and skinny, making me appear the most vulnerable out of the three of us.











Kieran Brooks plays the 'brute' of the situation acting as Max's thug doing his dirty work. He fits in well with this role because he is the biggest one of us and the most intimidating. During the film he wears all black, whilst wearing a hoody to relate to 'gang culture' and the negative stereotypical view of hoodies.

 Max Lake plays the 'mastermind' behind the whole abduction and fits in well with his enigmatic role shrouded with mystery regarding who he is and what is he doing. Max is wearing a suit during our entire production connoting professionalism and that he is an intelligent man which helps enforce his 'mastermind' role.




  
As we couldn't obtain cocaine due to financial and legal restictions, we made a mixture of flour, baking soda and sugar. Glucose powder and powdered milk is often used in Hollywood films, but as it wasn't being snorted it in our production it didn't reallymatter what it was made from.









We also used a toy .38 revolver as it connotes danger and death. .38 revolvers are also really cheap to purchase and are a common weapon worldwide for civilians which makes the film seem more realistic as it would be harder for a group of young adult males to acquire armaments.

 As the revolver was blue so therefore obviously didn't fit our production, we used a more realistic  black M9 Raffica BB gun in the re-shot bathroom scene.
