New Cast List

When doing our story board we found that the story line for the trailer did not need as many characters as it over complicated things, we also slightly changed the doctors role to a nurse role that instead of diagnosing Elton with schizophrenia, gave him coulselling for it.

Nurse grey played by Samantha Urry	Gives Elton Counselling for his schizophrenia
Schizophrenic person played by Elton Urry	This is the main character, he has been having nightmares for some time now about a clown. This clown soon becomes a hallucination and tells him hes going to hurt his family and to kill the ones he loves. The bad hallucination of the clown does horrible things and hurts people around Elton little does he know the actions that the clown makes are actually being done by himself.
Younger Brother played by Kurtis Urry	Kurt is Eltons younger brother, he is close to Elton but recently Eltons actions toward Kurt seem out of character and threatening as of late

Prop List

Created with Padlet


After designing the prop and costume list we decided to change Eltons Costume slightly, we will have him wear a band T-Shirt because we feel that it is important for Elton to express himself as the young adult that he is that listens to rock and metal music because this makes him someone that our target audicence can relate to as he is part of a social group that would ideally watch a horror film or trailer.

Auditions

Part of our task was to do audition in order for us to choose our characters, however because we had a specific idea of who we wanted in our trailer we decided not to have audition and choose the characters straight away. This is because:


* We chose Samantha Urry as our nurse that give Elton counseling because she has a lot of experience as in real life she is a nurse. We thought that due to her having those skills already it would be easier for us as we will not have to tell her how to act or what to say to her patient.


* Elton Urry was then chosen as our main character so the individual that has schizophrenia because he  is the same age as our target audience so he would appeal to them and furthermore he is the right age range for someone who has schizophrenia and this makes our trailer even more realistic.

* We then chose Kurt Urry as the young brother because as you can see from the surname his Elton little brother in real life and their is a relationship already built between those two so we thought that having him played the little brother in our trailer would make it easier for Elton to act just as he would in normal life. In addition to this we are trying to make our trailer as realistic as possible and having members of the family play together is a good way of doing that. This is because the audience might be able to recognize some similarities between them which could create tension as they might think that this is their normal life.


* Our last character was the clown who is played by Elton. This is because we wanted to have a sort of twisted end as our audience may not be expecting him the be the clown. It also makes the trailer even more interesting as it might raise questions among the audience such as Why did this happen? Why did he portray himself as a clown?
