I'm working in a group of 3 with Ben Brearley and Dom Ellis on a slasher film opening with the working title of Black Nightmare, and on this blog you'll see all the research and planning behind our production.

Monday 28 January 2013

Casting

Casting:

. Killer- Ben Brearley
.Scream Queen- Lucy Johansson
.Scream Queen's Boyfriend- Will Coates
.Final Girl- Melissa Elam

Killer:
Needs a motive to kill and a story behind the mask, an example of this is Jason Voorhees' hockey mask in Friday the 13th as he breaks in to a store and picks up some clothes he discovers his iconic hockey mask and uses it in the rest of the Friday the 13th franchise, and we've chosen to go for the butcher look for our killer for the obsession with chopping meat, in this case human meat,

Scream Queen:

Black Nightmare's Scream Queen
Stereotypical Scream Queen

With our film we're going to go for the stereotypical scream queen instead being blond and sexually active, an example of a stereotypical scream queen is this one from Scream where she is blond and comes across as being sexually active. We've decided to not stray away from the common stereotypical scream queen so the audience can recognise our characters and so it's easier to follow.

Scream Queen's Boyfriend:

Steve
Jock
We're going to use the stereotypical jock of a boyfriend who isn't scared and can confront the killer but
results in being killed , to signify him being this stereotypical jock he'll be wearing an sportsman top/hood, and an example of the stereotypical 'Jock' boyfriend is Steve from Scream who only appears at the opening with his girlfriend not saying much as he's killed off but he's sporty, also this links with the narrative that our 'Jock' will have as he won't have much to say like Steve in Scream.


Laurie Strode , final girl.
Final Girl:
In our film the final girl will be a counter type to the normal stereotypical academic, sensible and brunette. Instead she'll be blond and less academic , this making the audience think she'll be the scream queen when in actual fact she'll be the final girl.
