Pre-production: Actors (Extras: stock characters)

The other actors that are involved in my short film are the 'psycho-people', otherwise known as the extras. I will have 4 extras whose main job is to stand around, smiling psychotically as I shoot the footage of Michael and Alicia walking through their group, before Michael gets into a fight with the 2 antagonists. There is only one extra who I can say is an important stock character and I labelled him 'extra 1' (male character in the middle of the document). This character watches as Michael dies and so he is an example of the heartless and stupid consciousness possessed by these individuals' personalities. The actor for the character was chosen because he is one of the few drama students who I have faith in with bringing this stock character to life. 

As an added note, the gender-ratio is equal in number for these range of characters and chosen so I can realistically reflect society through this small sample.
