Role Application and Casting

Role Application

Producer- They have overall control on every aspect of a film's production. They bring together and approve the whole production team. Their key responsibility is to create an environment where the talents of the cast and crew can flourish. 
Director- A film director controls a films artistic and dramatic aspects, and visualises the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in fulfilment of that vision. The director has a key role of choosing cast members, production design and the creative aspects of film making.
Writer- A person who writes the script for a film.
Editor- The film editor works with the raw footage, selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture.
Hair and Makeup Artist- Their job is creating make-ups and hairstyles to meet production requirements and overseeing make-up and hair continuity during filming. Kate did Ellie's (the victims) makeup before filming as we had a clear idea on what we wanted her to look like. 
Camera Operator- which are  also called a cameraman or a camerawoman, is a professional operator of a film or video camera.

Me and Kate are sharing the roles between us and will take it in turn to have a go at each role. We may find that one of us is better at a role than the other so the person who is better at that role will take more control of that area while the other one of us focuses on something else. 

Cast

The victim- we have chose one of our friends to play the part of the victim. She is 16 years old, which is the age of the victim in the film. She did drama at GCSE so we think that she will play the role effectively. Also for one of her GCSE drama exams she played a similar role as to the one she will be playing in our film, so she has had some experience on how to play the role and will be able to apply this to our film. 
The villain- This role will be played by one of our old high school teachers. He is around 35-40 years old which is around the age of the villain in the film. We chose him because he is quite intimidating and scary looking so we think that he will come across as scary in the scene, which is what we want.
The Police Officer- Although this is only a small role, we still wanted the role to be played effectively. We have again chosen a teacher from our old school, this time a female. We chose her because out of school she works with the police so she has knowledge on how an actual police officer behaves and she can apply this to our film scene.
