Casting calls

1. Casting Calls
Done by: Roxy Sega

3. The of the casting call is so that we can see who
would suit which role and if they meet the
character profiles that the group has created. We
were not only looking to see if the people who
were auditioning were good actors, we were
mostly focusing on the characteristics that they
had which would enable the audience to identify
them easier. For example the first girl is usually
blond and skinny, therefore the person who
ended up being the final girl would have to
convey those characteristics to the audience so
that they would have been able to realise the role
that she would play in the movie.

4. Collin
William Lewis was chosen to be our killer because his characteristics would point
out to the audience that he could have the role of a benefactor, when in reality he
is the one person who cannot be trusted. Another reason to why he was chosen
was because his facial characteristics would mislead the audience and make them
believe that he is a good person who is trying to help the others, and therefore
once the audience finds out that he is a killer then they may end up being
unsettled and re-think about who they trust and if they let looks cloud their
judgement of people.

5. Gerri
Emma Bernstein was chosen to be the final girl because of her facial characteristics
but also the sense in fashion. She is wearing glasses which could point out her
intellectual side and therefore makes her look like she is more interested in school
rather than parties or anything else. Her hair colour has the tendency to be dark
pointing out that she likes to be who she is and doesn’t want to change that by dying
her hair. Lastly I have mentioned the sense in clothing style. In slasher movies, the final
girl tends to wear clothes which or more boyish and don’t ‘show-off’ her body. The
clothes that Emma wears which are the hoodies, t-shirts and tracksuit bottoms which
would suit the stereotype of her character.

6. Lucinda
Roxy Sega was chosen to be the first girl because in comparison to the rest of the
people who have auditioned she fitted the character profile the best. The first girl
tends to be more rebellious which her green hair points that out. Also underneath the
scarf the clothes that she wears are tight in order to convey to the audience that she is
confident with her body. First girls in slasher films are also sexually active which is
what makes them more likely to be the first ones to be killed off.

7. Hassan
Hassan Deen and Hanna Deen were the first victims to be killed off in the movie. The
reason to this is because of their ethnicity background. Hanna is killed when she was only
10, however the audience cannot really tell her ethnicity because her face is never really
shown. But we are trying to show that other ethnicities do not have much power within
society these days. On the other hand when Hassan is killed we can see that the killer is
approaching him slowly rather than chasing him as to point out that there will be no way
out. The way that Hassan is represented is like the stereotypical teenager who hangs
around the alley way listening to loud music and looking threatening.
