Planning: Casting for out opening

For our opening 2 minutes of our Horror film, we currently have 4 actors which are needed but we have considered a range of different people who can play these roles. The roles which are needed to be acted are the victim, the mysterious killer, Jordan and Jordan's friend.

The most important role in the opening 2 minutes will be Jordan as he is the main character and the camera is mostly on him, we are hoping we get an actor which can show fear and can stay serious throughout filming. The least important role is the part of Jordan's friend, his/her part will be around 5 seconds long and consists of making Jordan scared. This role can be practically played by anyone but we will make sure we pick a person who can act professionally through filming.the other two characters who we will need to find is a killer whose face wont be shown but his movements will be needed to be shown also a victim will need a lot of facial features as they need to put off a scared image.


The following people are those which we are considering to play these roles...

Jordan Bignell 
Sex - Male

Age - 17

Acting history - Small part in christmas play 2005.

He is most likely to get of Jordan as not a lot of skills to do with acting will be needed as he will just be walking home he will just need to give of facial expressions and hardly any speech is needed, and he will most likely have a lot of free time which would be useful and he is easily accessible 

Josh Luthayi
Sex: Male

Age; 16

Acting history: Played in small play at primary schools also took Drama as one of his GCSE options.


Josh is most likely to get the victim role as he has had drama experiences and they will defiantly be needed especially facial features as he will be bound and something around his face to stop him speaking also he is also easily accessible 

George Hopkins

Sex: Male

Age:  17

Acting history:   Studied Drama in GCSE and currently studies it for A-Level.
George is possibly available for the friend role as it is a very short part also he is not that accessible also he has acting experience. 












Mariella Ralph

Sex: Female

Age: 16

Mariella does't have any acting history but is also very accessible and could be the role for Jordan friend also as there is basically no experience needed

Thomas Bates
Sex:  Male

Age: 16

Acting history: Studied Drama in GCSE and currently studies it for A-Level.
Tom would be available for the role of the killer or the victim because of his acting experience also he is quite accessible  

Lisa Eady
sex: female 

Age: 17

Acting history: Studied Drama in GCSE and currently studies it for A-Level.
Lisa would be good for either the victims role because of her acting experience also she could be jordans friend as its a small role for anyone really plus she is easily accessible 

Becca Jane Payne

sex: female 

Age: 16

Becca would be good for Jordan's friend as its a small role for anyone really plus she is easily accessible.
