Auditions

Myself and Dean held auditions for our movie and we had many applicants and they where all brilliant and put so much effort into it all. We obviously don't have that many people in our productios but we did need a very attractive girl for our main character who was murdered. We also need a boy to play her boyfriend who we can see she is having a conversation with at the begin of the movie. We also needed someone to be the killer although we do only see his hands as we have all the POV shots from his eyes.





















Here is a picture of some of the applicants acting out the murder scene, Dean is watching them and making notes, I was taking pictures but also watching. As you can see we have a girl playing the dead body but during the actual movie we do have a plastic head and body bag that we will stuff with pillows to look like a body.
This is the fake head, we will apply makeup to make her look more dead, and dirty and we will make her hair more messy, you won't see a lot of her face though.


During the flash back we can see a young boy and 4 young girls which we have chosen and they are all very committed to their roles. We will also have to ensure we have a picture of the 4 girls when they are younger as there will be crosses on two of the girls faces, a circle on the next victim which is who we will be filming and another girl with nothing - yet. This will show the audience that the storyline is clearly going to be about the next victim.
Below is the picture we will be using, that the victim will find next to the dead body.


After our auditions we did make a decision on who we wanted to play our characters. Below are their names and pictures so that you can know who they are;

Amber Tweddle: Playing our main girl - Jess





Brett Denton: Playing the boyfriend - Darrell and he will also play the killer as we only see his hands in gloves.

  1. Why did you choose these actors? What do they bring to the roles they will play?

  2. I wanted to make sure I was only taking on people that would take the acting seriously and who had previous experience of working in front of a camera. Both Brett and Amber have worked in front of cameras as they both took part in A-Level Drama, they where both attractive, young people which is a common convention of a horror movie. We wanted to break out of the common blonde victim and muscly boyfriend and create our own look and our own idea and have a brunette and a more thin boyfriend.
