Preliminary Task - Actor Bio's
Jake Baxter
Played the role of the Assassin Vincent Retegecho
Lives in Stilton
Telephone Number: 01733244571
Student at Sawtry Community College doing A-Levels
Aged 17
He is a quite unassuming charcter, however he played the role of our assain very well as he has roamed around our set very quitly, inocently and very unassumingly. However though when it got down to it he performed his role very assertivly and very confidently and he was very smooth and nimble in his approch.
Connor Nash
He played the role of our detective Ray Stoner
He lives in Yaxley
He is a student at Sawtry Community College studying for his A-Levels
Mobile Number: 07706429983
I had used Conor perviously in film called: The Transition
Connor has a quite and a very innconet personality, however he is very confident and very self assured. This is why I deemed him as the perfect candidate to play our very charsmatic detcive, who inevtably comes to our femme fetals rescue. I had knew of Connor's acting talents from my previous film and I knew he was very reliable and was confident in his ability to play this role.
Lorna Parmenter
She played the role of our flirtatious femme fatal, Venessa Poliavin
She is a year nine student at Sawtry Community College
She is Aaron Parmenters sister
Telephone Number: 01733243056
She was our third choice actor, behind Shannon Bott and Aryanna Wren
Lorna is kind, friendly girl who has a very strong mentality and is very strong willed. This is why I was quietly confident that she could perform the job, even though I did not identify her as a strong actor at first.
Considering she had approximately one hour notice, she performed reasonably well in her role and she had a strong and confident enough personality to deal with the role. The only problem that we had with her was that she struggled with the America accent and that she struggled with the flirtatious scene.

Similar Products - Film Noir Posters
Most Film Noir posters consist of a lot of vibrant colours although the film is in black and white. this is for advertisement purposes and so that it catches the viewers eye much easier as it stands out more. the backgrounds are quite often very dark with the main characters in the front of the image and dependant on the main character is a detective or journalist this will depend on whether he has a gun or not.
on just about very poster there will be the 'Femme Fatale', this is the seductive lady in the film who which is normally an evil character but turns good to help the detective/journalist. most of the time it is only the femme fatale and the main male character within the poster as these are the main two characters within the film.
the title font is bold and clear for the reader to see.
