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.

Pre-production: Make-up ('psycho-people'/ extras)

For the extras in my short film, I've decided on using purple, brown and red eye-shadow below the eyelids for the same reason I chose to do so for the Archans: to look antagonistic and psychotic. I then applied some white powder to the face along with a light grey tone to subtly make the skin pigment look unnatural. Although it's not clear in the pictures i've taken, I applied purple lipstick to the inner part of my lips to create the illusion that my lips would look thinner and closer to how films's present ghostly figures. When it comes to actually filming the characters I would need to make this more obvious. I'm thinking of adding some white powder on the edge of the characters' lips also.

As for hair, the characters would have hair styles similar to the protagonists but which is more controlled and neat. I don't think it will be necessary to picture this since it's easy enough to think of a balance between knotted hair and smooth hair.
