Casting

In my film I have decide to chose, two people for my roles in my opening. These two people are Jamie McGregor and Grace Peirson.
I chose these two because I thought that looked they right age. The suit my character chose and personality.
Typical characters in a horror film should have a frighten and unusual look, this adds to the genre of creepiness and fear in the horror genre. Sometimes in horror the characters behave in an unrealistic manner as this helps the plot more forward and the violence to happen. For example the character usually try a figure out strange happening by them selves rather than the realistic idea to call the police or they friends. Directors chose to do this to help the violence happen.



Grace has a the ideal creepy doll like face, to suit the horror genre, she is also quite young looking which would suit the false innocence's I want to portray. Horror females stereotypically look a little  innocent to create a creepy atmosphere when they are on screen.







While Jamie would be right as he has a quite determined face which would suit my characters personality, as well as being a stark contrast from Grace. He also looks the right age, 16 which would fit the character.











I also auditioned two other people two others to be in my film:
Charlie Woodrow and Becca Stimpson:


   
However I felt that they didn't feel right for the horror setting, as well as looking a lot older then my characters.
