Actors Profile

After casting the Actors (as stated in the previous blog post)

Josh Coe:



Date of Birth: 16th November 1998 (aged 17)

Height: 5'9"

Hair Colour: Brown

Gender: Male

Role: Tony

Reason for Hiring: We needed someone with a great deal of Film Noir knowledge to perfectly fulfil the needed role; I therefore decided that the leading role should go to either me or Joshua. After an informal audition, Josh suited the character's role better as he was able to be serious and portray emotion almost effortlessly.

Positives when filming: 

• Took directions well
• Acted with a straight face, never broke character
• Suited the clothing and props

Negatives when filming:

• Body position at times could have been more appropriate

Heather McDonald:

Date of Birth: 14th May 1999 (aged 16)

Height: 5'5"

Hair Colour: Brunette

Gender: Female

Role: Victoria

Reason for Hiring: As stated before, actors were needed with strong Film Noir knowledge to perfectly portray the characters. A female character was needed and Heather met the criteria we were looking for.

Positives when filming:

• Effectively used the props appropriately and realistically
• Took directions well
• Looked like a genuine Femme Fatale

Negatives when filming:

• Many scenes took more than one take to complete
