Task Nine: Casting Shots

Below are the profiles for our characters:

Name: Michael Nyame
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5"8
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Brown
Preferred Hand: Right
Character(s): Reaper

We have chosen to cast Michael as the character 'Reaper' because of his sarcastic personality and dry humour. Moreover, his overall deadpan facial expression, posture and physique fits well with the idea of a stereotypical sarcastic person, as his character generally has the stance and face of someone who will not easily crack a smile. We want the character of Reaper to be someone that is quick on his feet, and easy to act stealthily with during missions. When choosing the characters for our opening sequence, we concluded that Michael best suited this character.


Name: Charlie Netherclift
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5"9.5
Hair Colour: Dark Brown
Eye Colour: Blue/grey
Preferred Hand: Right
Character(s): Odin

The character of 'Odin' portrays the stereotypical leader of an army or militia, as he is bossy, but always has the best interests for him and his team. We have chosen Charlie for this character because he gives a sense of a leadership, and we feel that the character of 'Odin' somewhat reflects Charlie's confident yet laid back personality.


Name: Yassir Elbashir
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5"11
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Brown
Preferred Hand: Ambidextrous 
Character(s): Oracle/Hades

Yassir's Characters, 'Oracle' and 'Hades' are contrasting characters. Oracle is the 'eye in the sky' for the rebel squad, and is a computer whiz which is similar to Yassir's traits as he is knowledgeable with a computer. On the other hand is 'Hades' who is the commander of the enemy group that the KVA are at war with. Hades was a good role for Yassir as he has the serious look on his face and fits in with the type of clothing we want him to wear. Yassir did not chose the role, the role chose Yassir.


Name: George Skeet
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 6"3
Hair Colour: Dirty Blonde
Preferred Hand: Right
Character(s): Hulk

We chose George for the role of 'Hulk', plainly because of his size. 'Hulk' is the strongest member of the group. However, his mentality lets him down, due to the fact that he is not that intelligent, however, due to his size and strength, he is a valuable member of the unit.
