Actor Profiles

Name: Brook Keelan McGechie 

Age: 17

Occupation: Full time Education

Bio: Mani is another unemployed, 19 year old who keeps himself on edge by committing crimes daily. After finding out that his dad beats his mum he also turned into a life of drugs and crime with a hatred for his dad. Don and Mani both became close when they admitted there troubles but they also never fail to hurt the ones they love the most. Mani is the more involved of the two and does not care about consequences. As mentioned in my other character profile they are both into hardcore drugs and do not seem to worry about how bad things could turn for them.

Appearance: Wears baggy jeans, hoodies and thick trainers.

Personality: Mani is a crime loving teen who doesnt hesitate to star a fight on anyone who looks at him funny.

Him and Don (Donald)are seen as partners in crime due to there outgoing attitude and the fact that they barely ever leave each others side... but when he does, things go bad.

The image on the right is of one of our main characters Mani (Emmanuel) played by Brook McGechie. We have chosen him as he attends the same school as us and is in our media class therefore it isnt hard to get hold of him if we need to film. Another reason of which we chose Brook is because he has a 'teenage crime life' look about him, this should also add to how believable it is.

Name: Samuel Northmore

Age: 17

Occupation: Submarine Engineer/Part time farmer.

Bio: Don is an unemployed, 19 year old crimester who is always up to no good. When his parents split up when he was 12 he turned into a life of drugs and crime. When 'hanging' with Emmanuel (Mani) they never fail to cause trouble and get on the bad side of the whole city. With both of them into hardcore drugs he isn't the usual teenager you would think to see on the streets.

Appearance: Tends to wear tracksuit bottoms, Hoodies, Flat caps and Adidas trainers.

Personality: Don goes at life with a 'do what you like' attitude and has an hatred towards everyone bar Mani. He sees life as a joke and doesnt care about what people thinks about him.

The image on the right is of one of our main actors Sam Northmore. He will be playing the character Don (Donald) who is 'partners in crime' with Mani (Emmanuel). We have chosen Sam to be one of the characters in our film as he fills the role very well and is also reliable, this is very important to our film as we will need to have actors ready to be filmed when we need them. With the intimidating look Sam can give off he fills the roll well as it will make it more believable, keeping the audience 'in the moment' all throughout the film.

Script

It is set around the back of a abandoned building.


Mani comes around the corner in his baggy jeans, with his hood up. Hes holding a gun, checks the ammo and places it in the back of his trousers. He walks up to the corner of the building and peaks around the corner to see whats happenning.


When looking around the corner he sees Don, hes standing outside some doors which have been grafiti'd upon. Don is wearing jeans, a hoodie and a flat peak cap with his hood up and is sparking up a spliff.


As Mani turns back from looking at Don he takes his phone out of his pocket and sends Don a text to take his attention away from the surroundings, as he looks down and reads the text Mani walks over to Don and Don realises.

Don: ''Wassup Mani, where you been at bro?''

Mani: ''Dont worry about that man''

Don: ''Ah, alright... Wha'son?''

Mani attacks Don and puts him to the ground, as he pulls him back up Mani pins Don up again grafiti'd upon double doors.

Mani: ''You shouldn't have got us into this shit man, this is too far''

Don: ''What the fuck are you talking about Mani''

Mani: ''You should have just given him the money, now i've got to do this!''

As Mani struggles to hold back tears of anger Don apologises whilst crying.

Don: ''Please Mani, Im sorry''

Mani pulls the gun from the back of his trousers out and places it to the side of Dons head.

Mani: ''Im sorry Don, goodbye''

Mani pulls the trigger and leaves Don  in a puddle of his own blood whilst crying on the step beside him.

As time goes back it shows Don and Mani meeting under a subway.

Mani: ''Wha'son blad, ive got a job for us''

Don: ''Count me in man''

What can I include on my film?

The mass media in the UK is regulated. This means that legal bodies have been set up to tell you what age certification your film is and what attributes consist to have this certification. These are set up, usually by the government, to protect the public and avoid them seeing abusive and harmful footage.

In my film I may include minor drug use, but i do know that i must not promote drugs or encourage drug use, i shall not do this as it will increase the certification of my film to an 18 rating. Other things such as misuse of easily accessible substances such as aerosols and solvents are unlikely to be acceptable as it can encourage people to do this.

I also found out that Strong language in a 15 certification film may be frequently used. 'The strongest terms (for example, ‘cunt') is acceptable if justified by the context' according to the BBFC guidelines. This is good for our film as we do not use the strongest of terms in our film only strong language such as 'fuck'.

'Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.' W also found this on the BBFC guidelines page, this shows that we can have strong violence throughout our film but we shall not dwell on violence (basically meaning no torture). These guidelines help us to create an image of what we can and cant have in our film due to the certification restrictions.
