Redherring Film

This by far I think was the most challenging film for me this year as I had gotten the role of the schitzophrenic detective. My main problem was how I was going to portray the descent into madness which in the end in my opinion you don't really see the change as much it just explodes towards the end but still makes for an amazing finale. The film follows a group of people who wake up in a room with a dead body and a detective (who is fake) there is a conspiracy board on one of the walls and the door is padlocked from the inside which the detective finds and figures out that the person who locked the door and probably killed the man has to be in the room with them. The detective also has voices in his head which end up being the hat, glasses, tie and the gun which was first of all cigerettes but they couldn't get any for the film. For my costume I had my suit trousers and shirt, with some nice brown shoes and an brown overcoat and hat courtesy of Robert (the director).  Wednesda

The Tree Film

Image
'The Tree' is a short film about two people who wake up chained to a tree with a walkie talkie taped above their heads. The character I play is a lad called Kyle who at a party had previously accidentally killed someone due to a drug overdose. Charley plays Eleanor another teen at the party who was present at time of the murder and was kidnapped due to the masked man thinking it was one of us. Mark played the masked man who was heavily inspired from John Kramer and even referenced in the script, since he chains us to the train and gets us to play a game so that he can find out who killed the guy at the party so he can then kill them. For Kyles costume I was told to wear an old tracksuit so I wore my blue tracksuit with a grey coloured shirt.  Thursday 18th May We made our way to Preston Park where we find a tree with a new beautiful view with a river in the background. We got straight to me and Charley getting chained to the tree and did the scenes in chronological order as tha

Football Till I Die Film

'Football till I die' is a mockumentary in the style of the office following a manager of the worst team in the league 'Stockton FC'. It is the final game of the season and they haven't won a single game so far, so the manager tells his team at half time that he is going to be leaving which gives the team (full of wacky individuals ) the motivation they need to overcome and win there first game.  In tis film I had been told by Kelly that Kane had his eye on wanting me to be in the film, which I said I would be ok with. I had been given the role of Chris who is part of a trio called the three stooges, who are the midfielders of the team. The other two stooges are played by Jack (who is Ben) and Aiden (who is Alan). Everything we do is over the top but to the point where its funny and not annoying to watch. My costume for this film was black shorts and a red football top with the number 4 on the back and the name Chris.  Thursday 11th May Today we had to be in for 11:

Weight of the World Film

 Weight of the World is a film about an ex proffesional competitive eater (called Doug who is played by Aiden) who now owns a fat camp helping children lose weight. The problem Doug runs into is that the one thing he has sworn to destroy and overcome has suddenly bought land and is planning on destroying his camp and building a new fast food restaurant there, this fast food chain wanting to destroy all his work is Mc'Donald's. He gets help from a sleazy overconfident Lawyer by the name of Mike Schwipps (played by me) who explains the situation to him and aids him in giving him options to wich Doug finds a leaflet to win exactly the amount of money to pay Mc'Donald's off from building on his land. The competition he has to partake in though is going back to his roots of proffesional competitive eating.  For this film I was given the role of Mike the lawyer who I had auditioned for but alot had been changed, instead of having in everything that was in the script before wh
