CASTING DECISIONS
The main premise of the trailer is that our protagonist is being blackmailed to kill people he knows. Therefore it makes sense the vast majority of our cast are of a similar age.
The Protagonist - Jamie Hopkins
Our main character while being a killer is not a typical violent person, as the trailer consists of him being blackmailed to kill people. Therefore we chose Jamie as he does not look conventionally threatening or like a killer, but looks somewhat capable. This also lends itself to the fact the protagonist's appearance changes as he has to kill more and more people.

The Victims - Josh Chapman, Bobby Hopkins, Aaron Lawrenson, Willem Fox, Alex Duncan.
All of our victims have some degree of similarity between them, in order to make it believable they are all people our protagonist knows. They are of a similar age and background in some form as a result.
