Casting Shots

We had to get casting shots to make sure that our actors fitted the characters that were required in our film; through aspects such as age, gender etc.


Name: Umed Islam
Character Name: Carmen Requeza
Actor age: 18

Umed would be the best person to play the cold and merciless character of Carmen Requeza. We believed Umed would be the best for this part as he created the character of Carmen Requeza and would be able to portray him perfectly and exactly as the way we wanted Requeza to be protrayed. Umed knows the way to behave and what emotions to show whilst playing the part of Requeza.









Name: Naiem Ahmed
Character Name: Al Ciento
Age: 17

We decided to let Naiem play the role off Al Ciento similarly due to the fact Naiem had alot of input when createing Al Cientos character. Naiem decided on many f Al Ciento's characteristics and came up with some of the scenes Al Ciento would be in. He was very particular on how he wanted Al Ciento to act so we felt best he would the perfect person to play Al Ciento.





Name: Dean Langran
Character Name: N/A (Motorbike Man, Ciento's Henchman)
Age: 17

We really wanted to cast Dean in our film, mainly due to the reason he rides a motorbike! We used a lot of vehicles in our film and wanted to use a motorbike so we could get a scene where there would be a shooting from someone in a motorbike. We also needed him to be one of Al Ciento's henchmen. Dean was more than happy to help out and be apart of our media.







Name: Jamal Adomako
Character name: Requeza Henchmen/ Traitor
Age: 17

We needed many people in our film as we needed to show the different crime syndicates (which are usually have many people in them). We asked Jamal f he would be in our film and he agreed to play the part of a Requeza Henchmen betrays him and gets burnt alive by Requeza.




Name: Niyaz Islam
Character Name: Requeza Henchmen
Age: 17

We used Niyaz in the scene where Requeza burn the traitor in his faction alive. Niyaz's character is there to assist Requeza. Filming with Niyaz had to be done at specific times due to the reason that unlike the rest of our cast he does not go the the same sixth form as us.








Name: Theo Ross
Character Name: Ciento Victim
Age: 17

We asked Theo to star in our media and be a victim of Al Ciento. He happily agreed and we were able to film with him in school as he shares the same free periods as we did.




Name: Scott Campbell
Character Name: Requeza Henchmen
Age: 17

We needed many people to be in the briefcase exchange scene and asked Scott a few minutes before filming if he wanted to be in it. One of the actors that were going to be in the scene dropped out as they were not feeling well and went home, luckily Scott was available and was more than happy to be in it.


Name: CJ Anosike
Character Name: Ciento Henchmen/ Requeza Victim
Age: 17

We asked CJ to be in the briefcase exchange scene and also the scene where Requeza strangles him in the car. We asked CJ to do this more complex scene of being strangled as he had drama experience outside of school and did Drama as a GCSE. We believed he would be able to get the choking and dying effects right.
