Description
Duct Tape: The duct tape was an obvious prop, that we should have realized when we were producing the prop list. As well as having rope wrapped round the wrists of the hostage, to tie him to the chair, he shall have duct tape taped to his mouth to silence him. Only murmurs of speech, will be the dialogue for the hostage character.
Knife: There is still debate but I think as a group we have now come to the conclusion that instead of a gun, a knife will be implied. If we do still stick to the guns, the knife will be used in the fight scene or even to slit the throat of the hostage.
Walkie Talkies: The walkie talkies, will act as little radios. When the protagonist arrives outside the building, this is when the walkie talkies come into action, as they will be used so that the criminal in Lyle announces the news of "the protagonist has arrived," He will see him through the window of the green screen room.

No Longer Ex Policeman...
This decision came from having a review of my Weebly site with tutor Simon. When we discussing about this part of the page, he mentioned "it is best you change the ex policeman, to a protagonist or some similar hero kind of character". Reason being is because, if you face the reality I am only 18 and I am just starting out with work/job life, so there is no possible way the audience are going to believe I am some retired or ex 45 year old policeman.
A name for the new character title of 'protagonist' had to be made also because it was dull to think he is just a protagonist with no name. Thanks to website, 'name generator' we found the name 'Spencer Riley'.

Why These Actors???
Alex -------> Protagonist ---------> Why??? --------> Due to previous shoots we've have done like "The A Team" back in September, I was the 'Ladies Man' character and thanks to the 'swagger' I had in that sequence. I was given the privilege to have a 'cool' appearance again. This is where the sunglasses from the costume play a part. As well due to my smiling/happy appearance, I had to only be the good guy.
Darius---------> Hostage----->Why??? ------> Again linking with other films we have done "the interrogation scene", I was the hostage and Darius was the protagonist but thanks to inspiration from this, we swapped me into Darius and Darius into me. This sequence sort of links in how we want our film to end up like Due to Justin's camera fright a new actor had to be enforced.
Lyle ----------> Criminal ------> Why??? -----> Before we made a decision on what character Lyle would be, we had a quick glimpse of every sequence we have done so far. Mostly all the unit 9 projects and Lyle has been a regular in being the bad character. Over the reflection part of the videos in those weeks, Lyle has been described as the 'brilliant' actor. Experience in the bad guy field couldn't be ignored and handed over to Lyle.

Parts to ignore...
As stated before in the blog, or even in the costume list section, I (Alex) will be no longer a ex policeman character but I shall be a protagonist, as it is more realistic to believe as a viewer. Where it says "ex policeman" as a heading for the costume, it is now PROTAGONIST!
Other little changes to mention, due to Justin not willing to act no more, we are minus one in hostages but that doesn't matter now. Darius is the last remaining hostage, so he has the choice of wearing beige jeans or blue jeans for the shoot. The choice is down to him.
