Test shots & casting

LucyThis person was chosen for this role because as Lucy is the protagonist we needed someone who could actually act and take it seriously. This person also suits the required criteria of being the correct age (not too old and not too young). This person can also do the time frame we plan on filming and is unlikely to cancel.

Damien RidgewayJacob was chosen to play the main protagonist Damien Ridgeway. This is because the character is an older male and Jacob looks a lot older mainly due to his beard. The beard is a massive factor into Jacobs role as it looks menacing and as in the trailer the character ages we can create this illusion by shaving the beard.

Sergeant GreenI was chosen for this role as the role required someone who can play an authority figure. I was also chosen for this role as we a short staffed and everyone needed a role.

Sergeant MillerBen was chosen for this role as the character has minimal screen time, and ben prefers to edit. Ben was also chosen for this role as Sergeant Miller is an older man and we needed someone who looks older and looks like an authority figure.

Detective Inspector ConnorBen was chosen for this role as the character has minimal screen time, and ben prefers to edit. Ben was also chosen for this role as Detective Inspector Conner is an older man and we needed someone who looks older and looks like an authority figure.

Front of school

• The front of the school was chosen as we needed to identify the protagonist as someone still in school, so we have the protagonist walking home. It was also chosen as we needed the antagonist to choose the protagonist and as we are in school it was an obvious setting due to availability and the fact that we’re already here to do the filming.

Police station

• The police station was chosen as for one of the scenes we needed the antagonist to be going to jail, therefore the police station was a obvious choice for the location. There is also only one police station in town so this location was the only place we could do it. The courthouse was also another option however was not chosen due to the legal reasons.

My house

• Most of the trailer will be shot in this location, and as my house is in a village and suits the secluded criteria we went for this. We also chose my house as it allows us to film inside and uses ever available space where as with other locations we could not be able to utilise all of the location. Also as it is my house we can use it pretty much when ever we want with no select time meaning if needed we can go back and do more filming if something is wrong. My house also a suitable location for the scenes meaning we can actually do what we wanted without many changes.

MotherMy mother was chosen to play the role of the mother in the trailer as we needed someone who was older and actually looked like they were a mother. It was easier just to have my mother play the part due to convenience of her actually being my mother. This way it saves us time and effort having to find someone else to play the role. As the scenes are set at my house it also means that she will not need to travel.

FatherMy Father was chosen to play the role of the Father in the trailer as we needed someone who was older and actually looked like they were a father. It was easier just to have my father play the part due to convenience of him actually being my father. This way it saves us time and effort having to find someone else to play the role. As the scenes are set at my house it also means that he will not need to travel.
