Cast, Props and Setting

Cast:

• Ria Harrison - The girl attacked by the unkown.

• Alice Fews - Friend of Ria.

• Hannah Smith - Other friend of Ria.

We asked our actors to wear clothes that they wear on a day-to-day basis because we wanted everything to seem completely natural and normal so the impact of something going wrong is much greater because the audience wouldn't expect it. Also we chose to use actors aged 16 - 17 so that the audience could connect better because we had chosen the target audience to be between the ages of 15 - 25.

When Ria becomes possessed we put pale make-up on her face to give an effect of the life being drained from her. Also very dark eye make-up and fake blood to look like she had been attacked.

Props:

We didn't use many props because we kept it very natural and simple. We used mobile phones to emphasise the fact that something is wrong when Ria doesn't answer it and did a close up shot of her phone ringing on it's own. There were two mobile phone, one was an iPhone and the other was a BlackBerry. We chose these phones instead of normal house phones to represent younger people because lots of people have those phones.
The only other props we used were things in Ria's bedroom to make it seem realistic. She had text books and other types of notebooks for when she is revising. Also when we use an over the shoulder shot when she is applying normal make-up she has her make-up bag and make-up set out on her desk.

Setting:

We asked Ria Harrison's permission to use her house for the setting and she kindly agreed.



Woodland Road, "Woodside House", Portishead, BS20.
This is was the perfect setting for our film opening because it is an isolated area right next to the woods. This is a common horror film convention; being set in the woods and involving normal teenagers.
