Once we had decided on
the plot, storyboard, and casting for our film we were able to create avatars
for each character.
The avatars were
created by our group on the software called ‘pickaface’. They are what we
created once we had casted actors for each of our roles in our horror. These
avatars created helped us gain an image of what each character would look like
and give a clear representation of each character.
Lucy is one of the
main characters in our film ‘The Collection Day’ as she is the one who falls
victim to the killer.
Played by: Emily Driscoll. Emily is another group member.
We felt it was best to cast her in this role as she was part of the production
team so knew what we wanted to achieve out of the role.
Role: The role we
wanted ‘Lucy’ to portray was a seventeen year old teenager who was the older siblings
of her brother aged eleven called ‘Josh’. She was the character who would fall
victim to our killer ‘The Child Collector’ after trying to save her younger siblings
‘Josh’.
Costume: Average
seventeen year olds girls’ clothing as we wanted her to be relatable to the audience.
She also wore a red scarf as we knew this bright colour is a convention of a
horror genre. This was incidental prop was used as most victims have
associations with the colour red due to it being associated with the colour of
blood and danger.
Character younger ‘Josh’:
‘Josh’ is a young male
aged eleven who is the younger sibling of ‘Lucy’.
Played by: Matthew
Driscoll. We wanted Matthew to play this role as we knew he would believable to
this role as he is the same age of our character.
Role: The role we wanted
‘Josh’ to play was to be the younger version of the brother of the victim ‘Lucy’
who witnesses the attack from ‘The Child Collector’ to ‘Lucy’.
Costume: Average
teenage male clothing as we wanted him to be relatable to the audience.
Main character ‘The
Child Collector’:
‘The Child Collector’
is the killer of this horror opening.
Played by: Renya Szczodrak, she was another member of our
group. We wanted another group member to play the role as she understood the brief
of how we wanted the character to be portrayed. In addition, her physique was
suitable as she is tall and slim meaning her exterior wouldn’t give anything
away to the identity of the killer as no indications are supposed to be given
away about the killer.
Costume: Clothing is
very plain and minimalistic as it wouldn’t give any indications away to the identity
of the killer.
Character older ‘Josh’:
Played by: Ryan
Spencer. We wanted Ryan to be cast in this role as he has some similar characteristics
to the younger ‘Josh’ meaning he would look believable to be an older version.
Older ‘Josh’ is the
role of the seventeen year old teenager at the start of the opening who is the
older version of the younger ‘Josh’
Role: The role of
older ‘Josh’ was to be the older version of ‘Josh’ who is experiencing
flashbacks from the night when his sister ‘Lucy’ is attacked by ‘The Child
Collector’ but escapes.
Costume: Average
clothing of teenagers so he would be more relatable to the audience adding to
the realism element of horror films that they are supposed to have.
Character ‘girl 1’:
Played by: Abi Nash. We
as a group wanted me to play the role as I would be able to play the role realistically
and how we desired, in addition I am the same age of the character.
Female friend of the
older ‘Josh’.
Role: Female friend of
the older Josh at the beginning of the opening sequence.
Costume: average clothing
of female teenagers to make her more relatable to the audience.
Character ‘girl 2’:
Played by: Renya Szczodrak.
. we as a group wanted a member to play this role as she is the same age as the
charcter and knew how we wanted the character to be played to make it believable.
Female friend of the
older ‘Josh’.
Role: Female friend of
the older Josh at the beginning of the opening sequence.
Costume: average
clothing of female teenagers to make her more relatable to the audience.
