Cast list

I have decided to add what each individual character would bring to the trailer, the original cast list would have featured:

Jodie Braithwaite - Jodie would have played the outgoing character in the group, from research I have come to realise that there is always a strong, confident individual who often makes the decisions!
Elizabeth Morgan - Elizabeth would have played the 'geeky' friend, who is fairly quiet however makes valid points when needed.

Kaylee Murphy - The loyal friend, I have noticed that in many horror films there is a character who is the friend who always plays safely.

Holly Robinson - As i am blonde haired, I would have played the stereotypical 'dumb blonde' member in the friendship group. This would have featured myself being killed off first, as this would have been viewed as stereotypically correct.

Both Elisha Stewart and Hannah Mason I would have used to make up numbers in the group, as they would have made the group look strong and all good friends.

The stalker will not be revealed! As this is a teaser trailer I think this adds extra tension and suspense to the trailer, the stalker will be created by the use of point of view shots.

However as I have adjusted the plot of my trailer to just one main character better known as Ellie who will be played by myself Holly Robinson, this will be the only character featured in the trailer.
Ellie will be featured having blonde hair so that it projects to the audience her stereotypical image of being naive, my reasons for choosing my main character to have these characteristics is that by analysing other horror genre trailers and also by watching several horror films many of the leading characters are blonde and they are perceived in this way, therefore I have put these ideas into use for my final production.
