Organisation of actors, props and costumes

Actors

Film casting;

We wanted the best and most capable actors and actresses that we could acquire for our trailer production. We wanted to have seemingly professional actors and actresses who would give our film the more professional touch. Therefore we held a series of auditions for young and talented actors and actresses from our area who wanted to take part in our filming. 

We held these auditions in our local theatre in Burnham on Sea called the Princess Theatre. Where myself and the other 3 members of my group had a list of attributes and qualities that we wanted our applicants to have. We were searching for two girls and a tall boy. We wanted two girls as we are following the story of conventional old horror films with the stereotypical girls getting savaged by a murderer. We also needed a tall boy who will look good in all black, has acting skills which means they can easily act for the trailer and finally we wanted him to be attractive so that it could confuse the viewer as they would not want to see him as a murder as they would have a deep lust for him.

The selection process was an easy one. We only had to have a small discussion in our group to then narrow down the candidates to a shortlist. From the shortlist of we selected our main actors and got the best actors and actresses possible. The two girls look like innocent young girls. This is what we wanted as we wanted the audience watching the trailer to get gripped to the film. We also had to take into consideration what the girls were going to wear for filming. We needed them to not have strong accents so that viewers with all different dialects will understand what they are saying. 

Choosing the right male actor was a bit harder as we had a lot of applicants, however we knew we specifically wanted a tall actor who would fit the stereotypical idea of our antagonist. The actor we chose was a lot taller than all of the other applicant which we desired.  We finally had a discussion as a team and spoke to the candidates that we selected for our film.

Props

The reasons why we have chosen our particular props and why we haven't used others:

This is a screen shot of the oder that we have placed for the mask that we need for our antagonist.Between the 4 of us we are all going to bring in candles that we own, the reason for this is because we do not have a big budget to allow us to buy everything. Once again with the knife's we are going to films ones that we already have as we already have then and we don't want to waste our budget.

Costume

Our costumes that we want to use for our actors. For organising what we want them to wear we gave them a description of what we wanted, we did this because we once again don't have a big budget to get people costumes. However luckily they did have what we wanted them to wear.
