Our actors were two of our media teachers. We were supposed to have a drama teacher of ours being one of the submersible men, but unfortunately he was ill so we couldn’t use him. Instead one of the media teachers was happy to step in, and it worked out pretty well because he did exactly what we directed him to do. I think that they would appeal to our target audience – which is I would say males of the age range 14 and above. The reason that I think that they would appeal for the target audience is because they are both young-ish, normal, decent guys. I think that they had to right look for the film because they looked quite good with technology (not geeky, but not thick). We wanted to create suspense in the lighting. The way we did this was that it was quite dark, yet you could see the details of their expressions. Also to create tension when one of the men put on the ‘reds’ we used red lights to create this affect. However they were going to be flashing red lights which would create more tension for inside the submersible, but due to technical faults this could not be done. I wouldn’t change our lighting because I feel that the low-key lighting made there a bigger impact in how small the submersible was and also how deep they were under the sea.
Here is an image showing the when the lights turned to 'red'. By it being red it connotes danger, and death which is one thing that we want the audience to fear. By them seeing the two men react we wanted the audience to have a slight connection with the characters so that when something were to happen to them they were scared for their safety.
