Both Robert and I have recently been researching and planning our main scene which we are being very precise about the conventions including props, costumes and locations. The following presentation shows evidence of our planning:
   

Zeb, who is a high ranked employee of Igor (the main antagonist character), from Syndicate International. Zab and Igor are the ones who tracked down and captured 'Jack Morgan' for interrogation. Like in many action/adventure films, many antagonist characters have 'sidekicks' which is what the role of Zeb is (a sidekick villain.) Zebs matching physical build makes him appear more superior and threatening towards Jack the main protagonist.

The moodpboard above is what Robert and I have made to illustrate what we want Zeb's character to appear as. Zeb will wear an incredibly similar suit to Igor's so the audience can identify they are together. He will be ordered around by Igor which Zeb will obey and take control of the interrogation until Igor arrives from starting out in the city.

Robert and myself have decided who will be playing the role of this character called Zeb. This actor is called 'Luke Dix' who is a friend of Harry Cockayne (actor of Igor). Luke and Harry have very similar strong physical builds which fit the exact stereotypes off super athletic agents in action films.

Jack Morgan, is the name for our main protagonist character. His character background includes being a worker for a secret organisation called 'Syndicate International'. He was an ex-moilitary soldier before he joined Syndicate International and then left to 'seek peace'. Jack has been tracked down by the main antagonist and his men. Jack has experienced the worst in his past, after the death defying 'Crimson' murdered Jacks family. Jack now fights to gain revenge from the main antagonists gang including Crimson.

Robert and I have decided who is now going to play the character for our short film, his name is 'Morgan Taverner' who is going to play Jack Morgan as our previous actor who was going to play this role 'James McCullin' is unable to give up his time to play the character. Morgan is determined to do a good job of the role and is very excited to get on with the filming.

Igor is the character name our main superior antagonist (who is played by Harry Cockayne). Igor is a superior high ranking member of Syndicate International. Igor is on the hunt for Jack Morgan (our main protagonist character) Jack possesses a Swiss vault which Igor wants in order to conqeur. A bounty hunter called 'Crimson' is hired by Igor to hunt down Jack and to bring him to a rural location isolated from everything where Igor's sidekick 'Zeb' interrogates Jack for the Swiss Vault. Just like in most action/adventure films, Igor is played as the superior, powerful villain.


The moodboard above is made by Robert and myself that illustrates what we want our character Igor to look like. We want him to look intimidating, superior and villainous. The suit he will wear is also a typical convention/stereotype of sophisticated criminals in action films such as Agent 47.

Harry Cockayne is our actor for the role of Igor as his physical appearance is perfect for the role (large and intimidating.) He also looks older than he looks (he is currently 16) even though he looks like an 18 year old at least. Harry played a great role in our AS media studies opening sequence so we wanted to use him again for an even more key character in this years A2 media short film.
