Our Main Characters Name

Although the main characters name is not used in our trailer, we have decided to name our main character Joseph as it links well to religion as in the bible it was one of Jesus' disiples. In our trailer we want to look at religious aspects because The Vatican is a main inspiration. We will look more into detail at his name when we create a character profile.

Casting

When we were looking at actors to be in our production we decided that the best option would be to use our group member 'Jack Barnes' as he would be able to really understand the character so therefore be able to get into role easily. This also meant that filming would be easier, as we would both be at location when filming is needed to be done, so there will be no time wasted if we used other people to be characters and also we divide each scene between to film.

Our Chosen Soundtrack

Here is the chosen soundtrack for our media project. We have edited the track by cutting it down to the right length so that it coincides with our product. We have chosen this soundtrack because it fits well with our chosen genre, particularly by creating a mysterious and dark tone to our piece, which is what we wanted to achieve as a group.
