The actors we used in our film were well thought out and followed our genre, we had a clear idea of the types of characters we wanted (on the left) this was from the mood boards we made at the planning stage of the film making and we then searched and managed to get the same types of characters for our film (on the right).
Our first actors are Matt Champion and Jake Lanigan who play the roles of Government Agents, we chose these as they have a close friendship in real life and work well together as a team. This is reflected in our film as they are always close. We chose to have two government agents like in "Men In Black" as this is stereotypical for a action film. We decided they had to be young adults aged 17-19 and Matt and Jake are 18 and 17 so fit our criteria perfectly.
Our second actor is Pete Collins and he plays the role of "Agent Blake" we chose Mr Collins as he was keen and interested in being in our action trailer and we thought his looks and build matched the examples we came up with in our mood boards from various other action films. We wanted a character between the age of 30-40 and we feel we have achieved this well.
Overall I think our actors match their characters and examples from the research of action films and that is why our trailer is so believable and real.
