Our opening consists only of one character (or two if you consider the speaker on the news). This characters identity is also kept from the audience and they do not see the characters face. We needed a male character for this piece that would be able to physically act and be able to carry out the sequence in the scene. Our actor must be able to fit our chosen costumes as well. A shot towards the end of the sequence sees our character from behind as he leaves the room, he will be in view fully. We want him to have a traditional short haircut to match the traditional and old fashioned atmosphere of the film. The character has no dialogue and therefore his voice does not need to meet any certain criteria.
As for the speaker on the television, we would preferably want a female speaker who would be able to speak in a formal, 'posh' British accent as they are representing the state and bourgeoisie
