PRE: Roles of the Actors

Throughout our whole teaser trailer we have 3 concrete characters:
  • Victim Number 1 is Eilish who is part of our team, this means that she will be available for practise shots and to also come to the studio and film. She plays the role of the main character who has a strange phobia of meat.
  • Victim Number 2 is Ti who is a fellow student who enjoys acting, she will play the role of a second protagonist as she has a strange fear of plastic bags. Ti will be available to come to the studio with us although she is unable to remain all day which means that we have adapted the 'Shooting Script in order to suit Ti leaving earlier than us which was not a problem.
  • Antagonist will be played by Ryan, one of the boys in our team. All we need to see of the villain is his hands, feet and silhouette throughout the majority of the teaser as his identity is never given away. This also means that his availability will be much more reliable suchlike Eilish.

There is also the possibility that we may have another actor in order to change up our teaser trailer and confuse the whole concept even more by implying that our antagonist is a serial killer of some kind. Although our 2 previous victims will be female with the antagonist being male which highlights the convention of 'Male Gaze' and to bring in a third victim who is male, it might confuse the storyline making it ineffective. This will still be a possibility if we have enough time to film the footage and see what it looks like within the final piece.
