Casting and Role Allocation

Our group of 3 consisted of:
Sam Walker (Me) - Acting as the “scared guy” character.
Alex Hawkesford - Acting as the “leader” character.
Jamal Leigh-Hanson - Acting as the “tech-guy” character.

Jack Harrison also helped with filming some shots and acting, and we did the same for him.

The plot for the story was created between all three of us, and is a result of our combined ideas; from this we developed our storyboard and Jamal created a script. Alex was the cameraman for most of the shots, except for those in which he was acting, in which case the cameraperson would be me. For the shots where all three of us had to be on screen, we had an off-screen helper. The responsibilities of the director were split between Alex, Jamal and I, and we used a storyboard to plan out the shots. Alex and Jamal worked collaboratively on the titles, whilst I scouted out potential locations for our filming. I proposed several soundtracks for the film, which we then voted on and chose our favourite. Editing was a joint effort of Alex and I, as I have done previous work with editing videos, and Alex had a decent knowledge of the editing application. All of us acted in our movie to ensure a concise filming schedule.
