Cast, Costumes, Props and Locations

We used Adam Nixon as 'the victim' as he seems the most vulnerable and like an ordinary guy. He fits in well with the role due to skinny figure. His large coat helps enforce the view of him being an ordinary, everyday common person.

Max Lake is then used as the 'mastermind' behind the whole abduction and fits in well with his enigmatic role shrouded with mystery of who he is and what is he doing. Max is wearing a suit during our entire production connoting professionalism and that he is an intelligent man which helps enforce his 'mastermind' role. 

N.B. we kept Max's beard to firstly show he hasn't been taking care of himself, whilst also helping to get across the fragmented nature of the scenes like the non chronological narratives of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - this would only be obvious to the audience if they saw the whole film of course.

Kieran Brooks then is used as the 'brute' of the situation acting as Max's thug doing his dirty work. Kieran fits in well with this role because he is the biggest one of us and the most intimidating. During the film he wears all black, whilst wearing a hoody also to relate to 'gang culture' and the negative stereotypical view of hoodies and













We made some fake cocaine using flour, baking powder and sugar. This helps replicate the real thing without the illegal consequences and money problems. The use of cocaine during our film helps make an enigma surrounding everyone.

We also used a toy .38 revolver as it connotes danger and death. .38 revolvers are also really cheap to purchase and are a common weapon worldwide for civilians which makes the film seem more realistic as it would be harder for a group of young adult males to acquire armaments.






Max's Lounge

We used Max's house for one of the scenes within the film. His lounge helps show that he has a family or a history of one due to the number of pictures around the room, but as the house is empty apart from Max, it makes you wonder where they are or what happened to them. One of the other locations that we used is Max's bathroom. The reason we used the bathroom is because it is a common preparation area for people getting ready for work and it helps shroud him with enigma as he has a nice house but yet, he stores a pistol in his cabinet.

Max's Bathroom

 Another location which was used was the street outside of Max’s house. This provided an ideal location for our car following/chase scene due to the road being straight and very long. Not a lot of cars come past either as the house is at the end of the street providing us the ability to film undisturbed.

The main location was Max’s garage which we used for the interrogation scene of our opening. The room was very dark and was lit by one light which therefore made it chiaroscuro lighting. The fact that it went dark very quickly also added to the effect. The garage was also unsettling and made it seem like a thriller as it was filled with power tools which are possible items which are dangerous and could be used in an interrogation, reinforcing our reason for using the garage.
