CASTING

Initial Thoughts on Casting
Throughout the film we will be needing two separate actors to play the two characters in our short film. So that we can get the best actors possible we will be turning to the drama department in our school and asking one of them to play the main character. This main character will need to be an average looking teenage boy, most preferably with dark hair other than this there is no set template for this character.

The other character will be the person tied to the chair. For this character we would preferably have a girl with blonde-ish hair to fit in with the scream queen stereotype but this may change to a boy depending on the availability of actors/actresses. This part is quite a small part, only 5-10 seconds and no talking is involved so instead of an actor from the drama department we may just ask a close friend to play this part.
I will update this post later when the actors are finalized.


*UPDATE*
Central Protagonist (Norman)
We have cast Olivier Trouille as Norman as he has starred in other media productions at school and is able to pull good faces to show emotion. Its also convenient as he's making our soundtrack so he can understand more fully what it should be like due to the fact he is more immersed in the whole filming process.

The Victim
Due to the nature of this part when we asked girls if they would play the part they were very reluctant to except even after we told them that we wouldn't endanger them at all.
We managed to persuade Brooke Shipley to play the part with a little help from Olivier. She has also starred in some of the other media productions so she has experience and she fits the stereotypes and look for the victim in our short film.
