Actors

We have four character's in our opening so will would need four actors who would match the characters age and look:

 Ann Hayden as the mysterious person in the opening sequence (the hands). We chooser her because we needed someone who had old looking hands for the character.

Shara Hobbs who plays Ella Moore was chosen because she is the right age for the character and was could act the part well.

Jamie Magan and Adrian Moore who play the two man trying to evicted Ella in the opening scene were chosen because they were of the right age and both can look threatening plus they are capable to play their parts well.

Group Roles

Steven Kelly - Director
Kieran Hayden - Music
Charlie Hoxley - Camera work
Euan Davies - Editor

Story Board

Here are our first ideas of the the opening should look like.

schedule

This is the official schedule for our filming. We will try to have all the film done in these three days so we will have a good amount of time to edit but there will be room to go back and film more if we need to.

Iconography

The Iconography used in horror/thrillers are usually weapons or items that can be used to course harm to others e.g. a knife is a common prop seen in horror.


They will also use blade weapons in many horror films because it has become a horror stereotype. When people see a knife or blade weapon in a horror film they will often think of murder or death which will be unsettling and they can used just to set the mood of a scene and not be used as a weapon.

The Iconography of a horror set uses dirty or alien looking props to make the set seem uncomfortable and not somewhere were you would want to be.
