Casting and Costume.
Casting was not a Major issue as we only have 3 Characters.
We casted Danny as the victim who is shot and hit by a car.
The Hitman was harder to cast as the person who played him would have to be able to drive so we found a friend who was willing to play the role so we casted Dean as the Hitman.
The passer by was decided Oscar was the better actor of the group so he was given the role
Victim - Danny Moesley
Hitman - Dean
Passer by - Oscar Russell
Myself and Aymen Fahmi took all behind the scenes duties such as filming and directing traffic etc..

Risk Assessment
Before even going in to finding our location we had 3 things in mind.
1) It needed to be a quite and out of the way road
2) It was crucial that the flow of traffic though the area was small as we were using a Fake gun.
3) The location needed to be as un-populated as possible
Because in our intro we have danny our victim being shot whilst laying on the floor in a pool of blood there are certain procedures that we needed to make sure were closely regulated. We contacted the local police station about getting permission to film the fake shooting on the Wednesday of filming. They gave us the number of the local officer who was directly integrated within windsor boys. He then gave us a written letter saying that we had permission to film in public with a replica firearm.
What this means is that if any calls came in from the general public saying that there is a man with a gun in the particular area we were filming the call would not be sent to the local authorities so that they could intervene. We made sure that all crew and cameramen had high visibility jackets on we did this so we could guide traffic. This was because Danny was lying in the middle of the road for a very large percentage of time so there was a danger of him being in harms way of a passing vehicle, but with us guiding the traffic there was no danger of this.

Target Audience and Demographics.
When looking at our film we came to a group conclusion about the Target Audience we looked at a few films that were very similar to ours. We really focused on the James Bond films, they are very similar to the kind of plot and characters that we feature in our intro. In terms of Percentages and Demographics Casino Royal in Particular was a 60% Male viewing audience and a 40% Female viewing audience. The 60% male audience are very much drawn into the cars the guns and the women, its a typical male fantasy to drive beautifully crafted cars with stunning women in the car with you, so james bond does wonders for the male viewers. The appeal for 40% women is majorly Daniel Craig who is the attractive male lead who draws a large female gathering. For our intro we are using the same demographics 60M/40F our film is definitely more male orientated however its not all action and is driven by a story line that is alluring to both Males and Females. Our Film is not targeted at a niche Audience its is geared towards appealing to the masses. However our main audience age boundaries are 16 to 45 year olds. Its very action packed so would automatically appeal to the younger members of the spectrum, but as audience grow older they start to look for more in a film rather than just an action packed thrill ride. This is why the older members will appreciate the more intricate plot behind the action.
