Cast and Characters

Christian - Leon - Is a key character in the film opening. He creates a view of an antagonist. Although the audience do not know anything about him, his background, ethnicity even his appearance remains unseen throughout the film opening. However, the way he walks and the respect Tom's character shows him helps the audience to create a view of him, maybe even a fearful view. His costume is very casual and working class style. This helps connotate the genre and establish the setting of the film. Leon creates lots of enigma as nobody knows anything about him and you cannot even see his appearance which is vital in creating an enigmatic film opening. 

Anthony - Jay - Is another key character in the film opening. He has the most dialogue during the film opening but still his dialogue is relatively short consisting of 3 very short sentences during a phone call to an unknown ringer. Unlike Tom's character's dialogue, Jay's dialogue is very significant in creating a enigmatic scene within the opening of the film. Unlike Leon, the audience will see Jay's face multiple times throughout the film opening as there is no significance if the audience see or don't see his appearance. His costume consists of a very casual look but also a more middle class than a working class look. He acts very nervous throughout all of the film opening which may help create early views for the audience on the character. Jay does create enigma within the film opening and especially during the phone call.  

Tom Petty - Unknown character on lamp post - Tom plays a character who initially seems to be just a random person hanging around on the streets. However as Leon gets closer to Tom, Tom treats him with respect as if Leon owned the streets. He has a bit of dialogue that has no significance in the film opening. Tom's character's name is unknown to the audience. Tom's costume is not significant but what he is going to wear fits in with the genre and setting of the film opening. Enigma may be created as the audience do not know who this character is.

Ed Clixby - Unknown character opposite street of Jay and Leon meeting - Ed plays an impartial character who literally just stands opposite the street where Leon and Jay meet up. Ed is going to wear very casual clothing as just a normal civilian. He is unknown to both Leon and Jay, he has know dialogue. This may help create the enigma we were aiming for Ed's character to create. Nobody knows who he is and what he is doing there.
