Actor

For our opening sequence we need someone who isn't necessarily a professional boxer but has a good, strong build and will suit the part well. The character of Owen Haynes will need to have some sort of body which will show the audience that he cares about what his body looks like, for example having bigger Pecs and/or a Six Pack. It is a very steriotypical view of what we are doing but we think that this sort of character, who grew up on an urban estate would have these features. Also his face would preferably need to be quite stern and serious he can't have baby face because it will not look intimidating enough, so the audience will lose the sense of focus for the character. As we don't see his face til towards the end of the sequence, it is possible to have two actors, one for his body and muscle, which we will not see his face, and the second for his stern face. As we do not have the whole film it isn't essential to have the same actor and his body, we can use two. However this is still under working process. We can still only use the one actor who has it all.

As we have a voice over at the end of the sequence we would like to have someone who has a London sort of accent, which we thought would suit him best. Again it may be another steriotypical view but it shot straight to mind. Simular to the actor, we could use another person's voice which isn't the actor on screen because we arn't finishing the film so the audience will not know that the actor hasn't got the accent. However we may just find an actor who has got it all and would solve our problems, this is all under construction and will be 100% decided soon.
