As our main character is a college / university student studying politics and economics but finding out stuff he shouldn’t, we decided to make him look as casual as possible and as ordinary as we could.
Above is a picture of our actor Finlay and a character from the E4 show The Inbetweeners. Will (E4 character) is shown to be in a suit clutching a briefcase, whereas Andrew (Finlay) is shown to be in casual wear, jeans and jumper, with his hands in his pocket. The contrast between the two is important as some people see the university type to be very into their work and nothing else, but what we are trying to portray is that he enjoys what he does, but he also enjoys discovering secret, classified things about the government, which he is very secret about. We dressed him in very casual clothes, nothing that would make him stand out too much as his character wouldn’t want to be discovered. Will is known to stand out because of his dress sense which is the opposite of what Andrew would want. Andrew represents the “independent teenager” as he keeps to himself and likes to be alone with his studies and focuses on what he is passionate about, which is government conspiracies.
The media represent young people as violent youths. But we however have challenged this perception and showing the side of youths the media don’t show, the hard working focused on career types; even though our film is about a student finding out stuff they shouldn’t, it still shows that he is hard working and focused on what he is interested in.
