Actors

For my characters I stuck to friends that I knew and could get in easy contact with and organise to film with reliably, I also chose them based on previous acting experience and I feel

confident in their acting abilities.

Character 1 – Played by Chris Gray, I chose Chris for this role as the character is a mature businessman and so to play the rolecorrectly required and mature look and ability to play out a serious role without laughing or smiling.

Character 2 –

This was played by James Verran this role was very minimal and only required a couple of seconds of film

time. James offered to play this role enthusiastically and

maintained good facial expression during the filming.

He was reliable and did a good job of laying this role.
