Joseph Murray
Due to logistical problems, Joe Murray was a very helpful, replacement actor, suiting the role of 'Damien Crowe' perfectly. Visually, Joe suits 'Damien's' character profile; smart with a modern dress sense, with a strong sense of ambiguity, especially with his hood up, to which Joe cleverly suggested. Joe portrayed great emotion within close ups, strongly influenced by those in 'Casino Royale' (before the flashbacks). His input and ideas were very well received, as well as his flexibility and reliability.

'Iga'
Iga Madejowska
A fellow group member and actress, Iga's role was quite literally 'written' for her. After a few costume adjustments, Iga's visual profile was perfect to the character. After deliberation, we decided that red high heels were not right logistically, for the cold and cobbled streets of Norwich, despite their great connotations. However, the connotations of the red shoes are still in place, with Iga's input of wearing pinky-red lipstick and coincidently, red hair. 'Iga's' statement leggings and bowler hat make her a very recognisable character also. Iga was extremely professional, constructing Polish dialogue as well as clearly understanding the direction we wanted to go down with this character. Her versatility and emotion portrayal was great, especially within the flashbacks.
Alicia Arnold
Alicia Arnold studied Drama for GCSE as well as Media Studies, continuing Media Studies in particular, through to A-level. Because of this, Alicia had a great understanding of the 'Thriller' concept and therefore, the 'Femme Fatale' role she was asked to play. Alicia's costume was very successful, with a lustrous fur coat, black trousers and high heels. Along with her long blonde hair, Alicia very much reminded me of Lynn Bracken in 'L.A. Confidential'. Like Joe, her close ups were fantastic, portraying great and authority and emotion. Alicia was very reliable and hard working, taking direction from us, as well as adding her own inputs with props such as jewellery.
'Veronica'
Megan Edwards
An extremely small role, I myself, took on the role of 'Veronica'. There was no need for much direction or emotion, just simply there to exchange the letter with 'Iga' (on the other end of the phone at the start of the opening). With a coat, with hood up (in the scenes) and a scarf on, 'Veronica' is very much secretive character, and small connection to 'Iga'.
