Casting

We need to cast young actors of the age of 16-18 years old. We will do this by putting posters up around the school aswell as asking students from the creative arts departments such as Theatre Studies.
The cast needs to be 16 to 18 years old as these will appeal to the age group we are targeting with our film. Also the storyline fits in with people are age, as certain things such as getting drunk at a house and going out to an abandoned hospital is more teenage behaviour rather than adults.



Our cast...
We needed a girl to represent a blonde haired, sexually active female, a stereotype in many American slasher movies. Aswell we need to create a 'male gaze'. We feel the girl who would best fit the role would be Sophie Brear.

Another stereotype in American slasher movies is a good looking, inteligent female and not sexually active and made to look a bit 'nerdish' and pure(virgin). We feel the girl who would be ideal for this part is Sophie Gannon. Her dark brown hair would also provide anchorage for the audience that maybe she is evil.

To add a touch and go against ideologies and conventions of the norm and stereotypes of typical American slasher films, we added another character with dark brown hair. However, this character isnt a 'nerd', shes actually a party girl providing a 'male gaze'. Emiy outterside will play the part of 'Charlotte'. This is also to help confuse the audience throughout the film.
