My Movie Trailer Characters

There are five characters which me and Izel used for our horror trailer. The first character was me. I wanted to be in the horror trailer as I was reliable due to it being my piece of coursework the we had to get completed. I also looked like a jock with the skinhead and one of these always gets killed in a horror trailer. I was initially the camera man but halfway through the filming though of the jock idea and we used it. This fitted the mise-en-scene of the trailer due to there always being a mixture of boy and girl getting killed. We couldn't just have girls.

Yasmin - is our classmate who also studies a level drama. Yasmin is the girl above in the blue top and the first reason we chose her was because she studies performing arts at a level and she was a convincing actor. She also fitted the stereo-typical blonde girl who always gets the chop in horror trailers. We knew that she would be available as she was in our classes and when we had a free lesson, so did she. This made her available to film whenever we was free making it easy for us to create our coursework.

Lauren - is the girl above wearing a black dress. She also fitted the blonde 'bimbo' character as there is usually the double act in most trailers. There are always two girls who are best friends in horror films and they usually both get killed. This fitted horror trailer conventions. She is also in all of our lessons so this made her available when we were and we knew that she would be reliable due to her being my team mate Izel's best-friend.

Mitchell - is one of my best-fiends which immediately told me that he would be reliable towards our trailer. This is the first reason that we chose him. He plays the killer within our trailer and his attitude made him very creepy once he had the mask on. Due to our story line being jealousy, he fitted in well with this kind of character. So the overall reasons we chose him was because he would be reliable and he really suited the character we was trying to create.

Izel - is my team mate who i am creating the horror trailer with. My reasons for making her the main characters were her being small and vulnerable and she also fitted in with the group of girls. She is also reliable as she is part of the group and if she didn't do well, we wouldn't do well overall. She fitted in as the main character with Mitchell as they also suited as best friends which is part of the story line.
