CASTING FOR OUR OPENING SEQUNCE

In this post I will be talking about our decisions on the actors and actresses for our opening sequnce, firstly our main protagonist the stalker we chose a member of our group to be the actor for this because we know he will be fully committed to acting and he would be willing to do anything. We chose him out of our group because of his stature of how tall he is and how mascalling he is, having a butch manly protagonist works because it shows his power and Braun over the vulnerable girls who are being stalked. The character Rhys our actor will be playing has a story behind it , the stalker is a paranoid psychopath who has an obsession about following vulnerable teenage girls to train stations and from there house not to kill them but to take a locket of their hair to cherish as if they are his loved ones. Next, when it came to deciding on the actresses for our film we stayed inside our media class and chose the four girls who are working on their own films, we have 4 girls who will be in the film, Caitlin, Hannah, jasmine and jade. The characters they will be playing are themselves because they don't have to change themselves in anyway, the characters are normal stereotypical teenage girls who go to school and go out with their friends but they are misfortunate in the fact that they have attracted a stalker who a taken a powerful fond towards them, all the 4 girls are linked through friendship in the film which makes it easier for the stalker to go after them. These are the only characters in our film and who acts them, there aren't many characters but they are very effective to the audience.

WORKING ON OUR SCRIPT

In this post I will be talking about our decision to not have a script in our opening sequence, we have chosen to do this because we think that not having any speach or narration in our film creates a modity of suspense for the audience and the background music we have chosen can help to tell the story, in the past there has been very few thriller movies that do not need speach to tell the story so we have gone against the theory of you need to tell the story through dialog, this gives our film its own unique attribute because of the fact we don't have dialog. So with our planning for the opening sequence we do not need to make a script because of the detail on our story board and shot list.
