Chosen actors for our trailer

The Secondary Protagonist.

For our trailer we have decided to use Katherine. We have chosen Katherine because she has previously acted in some of our media projects previously. Katherine lives locally so she would be able to attend the planned filming sessions. Katherine currently does not have a job so therefore she will not have as many commitments and will be available for us to use in our film. We have chosen Katherine because we feel that she is the correct age for a secondary protagonist in the Thriller genre. As Katherine is female and she is being targeted it will follow the thriller conventions more. Katherine is also a quite jumpy person therefore she will be able to portray fear easily. Katherine is also the right age for our target audience and will therefore know what appeals to this age range and could give us ideas on what would appeal.

Antagonist.

For our antagonist we have decided to use Alfie. As our Antagonist's identity will be concealed we don't need to worry and be concerned that Alfie is typically quite young for an antagonist. Alfie loves locally therefore he will find it easy to attend our filming sessions. As Alfie is also a media student there may be clashes when it comes to finding a time when he is not filming himself. The role of the antagonist will be easy to portray therefore Alfie does not need to be a very skilled in acting. As Alfie is a male he follows the conventions and stereotypes of an antagonist.

Protagonist.

For our film we have decided to use Natasha. We have chosen Natasha because she lives locally therefore it will be easier for her to travel to location. We have a similar class schedule therefore we will be able to film during frees. Natasha fits the conventions of a female protagonist in Thriller films. As she is a female we will be able to show the archetypes and stereotypes of females and how they
are supported or subverted by elements like mise en scene.
