character profile - Callum West

One of the characters in our film is a male called Leo Hardwin. This is one of the main characters in the film as he is the second person in the fight for the love of a womenThis is the man who ,in the end, steals the girl from another girl , who just so happens to be the fiancee of his best friend Jade Wilson, which then causes everything to fall apart and sets in motion a series of events that destroy life as we know it. However in the film he is just a man who is fighting with his emotions.

For this role we need someone who is able to portray his emotions on camera and really be able to engage with his character so that it makes it look more believable. For this role we have decided to to cast Callum West. He is apart of the crew already as he is the stage director and and in charge of site management, as well as being one of the creators of the story. This means that he will play the role well as he knows and understands the story and characters in the film. Also he has done a 2 month drama course as well as a leading role in a short film 'God save the Queen'. This is good as it means has he knows how to play to the role in a short film and will be able to adapt to his character well.

The other female character is called Jade Wilson. She is a focused character who's life revolves around her profession, which could be one of the reasons why her fiancee has left her. On the outside it seems like nothing effects her yet on the inside all her feelings are being held in until an event, like being cheated on, gives her the opportunity to release all of her feelings which could have bad outcomes.

Name and Creators

Our film is called Omnishambles. Its a dramatic thriller with a non linear story line. The creators of this film idea are Charlie Hudson (me), Nathan Denny and Callum West. Collectively we have created and moulded an idea into the film that we will be creating. Also, together we make up our production team. I will have the role of camera man, in charge of lighting and casting. Nathan Denny is our props organizer and main editor. Callum West is organizing the stage management and site locator. We are all overseeing the film as directors and all have an equal say in what happens for the good of the film.

extras

For our film we need extras so that we can control the atmosphere and the way life would work around our main characters. For this we have enrolled a series of people, some with a qualification in acting and some without. Yet all are capable of what we need them to do. Some of the people we have got to play extras are; Olivia Courtney, Jack Smith, Elizabeth Harrison, Thomas Cheeseman, Abigail Maddison and many others. Also, we need them because when we are filming on sites ,such as the coffee shop, it will be closed for customers. Therefor it means we will need to set the scene and make it look realistic.

character profile: Naomi Cunningham

Another character in our film is a women called Natalie Richardson. She is the person who is seeing Leo Hardwin behind the back of her fiancee, Jade Wilson. She, as a result, is one of the main factors for the events that occur which led to the apocalypse. Her character is more free than the others as she is looking for happiness which causes her to go behind her fiancees back to find it because she feels trapped with her, yet she doesn't want to hurt her former lover so she keeps her feelings for Leo Hardwin a secret.
The actor who we need for this part will have to be able to be in-tuned with there emotions and be able to portray them, which will allow the audience to see what she is feeling at any given point of time during the film. Because of this, i felt that we would need someone with past acting experience, therefor we got Naomi Margaret Cunningham. She has qualifications in GCSE and A-level drama and she is an experienced actor with her performances in theatre productions such as 'Oliver', 'Bugsy Malone', 'Grease' and many more. Due to the fact that she has played a vast amount of roles, it is a good choice to have her play the role of 'Natalie Richardson' as the role demands a high level of acting which Naomi would be able to give.

character profile: Sarah Wright

One of the other characters in our film is the fiancee of Natalie Richardson, Jade Wilson. She is the main scientist in a big corporation called Gene co., which run by Nathan Denny character 'Morgan Phoenix'. Jade Wilson has access to all the facilities in the corporation which means it is the perfect position to cause a word wide pandemic if he was to be made angry or vengeful.

The actor who plays this should be able to show her anger when she is cheated on by the character Natalie Richardson. However she should also have the look of a scientist as well as sound like the sort of person who would be a scientist. Therefor we have chosen Sarah Wright  as our actor. She has the look of a girl who is smart and has a good speaking voice which will go well with her character. Also, she has a qualification in the Arts with a GCSE. This means she will be able to contribute to the artistic side of the film and help with props and set design.

character profile: Nathan Denny

One of the characters in our film 'Omnishambles' is a man who has survived the apocalypse, called 'Morgan Phoenix'. He is made out to be a man who was successful before the apocalypse happened, we do this by saying he ran a large corporation called Gene Co.,  yet loses everything after the apocalypse, this is to show how much this person has lost as he was a successful man but now he is forced to sleep outside in the ruins of  the London streets. This character then carries on to be the main narrator of the film. At the beginning he is a vibrant character with confidence with a very loud personality. However this changes after the apocalypse as he turns in to a quite and solitude character who starts to brake down as you see in the film.

Because of the role the actor would have to play we need someone with some acting background to deal with the dramatic change in characteristics of the character. also, they need to have a good speaking voice to fit the role of the narrator. Therefor the for this role in our film is Nathan Stephen Denny. He is a qualified actor with a Drama GCSE. He has been in many performances, such as 'The Island', 'Shot at Dawn' and 'Art'. He is good at  improvisation which means that ,if he needs to, he can bend the script to fit the role he is playing. This is why we chose him as he has a strong attitude to committing to his role. This is why he will be good  for the role of the survivor. Also, he will then become the main narrator throughout the film whilst staying in the character of the survivor. We thought he would be good for this role as he has a good speaking voice which makes him suitable for the role narrator and it also gives him the opportunity to develop his role as the survivor.

25 word pitch

This is my 25 word pitch. to do my 25 word pitch i thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a shot trailer for the film with pictures that further explain what is being said about the film. Also, the music in the trailer gives across the atmosphere of the film and lets the audience know what they are in for when they go to watch our film.
