Cast Plan and research

Now our ideas are laid out we went about the casting of our production.

We wanted a young little girl to play the ghost/dead person character so we did some research.

'The Exorcist"

Characteristics: 

•   young girl aged 12
• messy long straw like hair 
• white skin
• scars and cuts on the skin 
• menacing eyes 
• bags under the eyes
• unclean mouth, with cuts and scars 
• dirty broken teeth
• white innocent like clothing, like night wear
• blood on clothing
• smiley expression

' The Ring '

Characteristics

• young girl 
• old looking face on a young girl
• scars and cuts
• white skin 
• dirty skin / skin with mud on 
• dark long wet looking stringy hair
• manacing evil eyes
• evil expression 
• bags under eyes
• innocent white clothing like night clothing 

'The Exorcism of Emily rose'

Characteristics

• older looking teenage girl
• short messy hair 
• looks more human like 
• angry expression
• menacing eyes
• innocent night time looking clothing

We then researched horror films with a young female heroin. 

' The House at the end of the street' 

characteristics: 

• Teenager aged around 17-19
• casual everyday clothing
• innocent looking 
• blonde hair 
• blue eyes 

' The pact '

characteristics:

• Teenager aged around 17-19
• blonde hair 
• blue eyes 
• black leather clothing 
• looks brave and strong 

'The last house on the left'

Characteristics :

• Teenager aged around 15-18
• blonde hair 
• blue eyes 
• scared expression 
• looks innocent 
• looks weak (damsel in distress ) 

After research, we concluded these theories about our characters. 

Ghost/Dead girl 

Our character is going to be a young girl aged around 12, with long hair and pale skin and we are going to dress her in innocent looking clothing e.g a nightgown type dress. We are also going to use clever makeup techniques to make her face look older with wrinkles with additional cuts and scars.

Victim Girl

We have concluded on the theory of the damsel in distress, and the stereo-typical blonde character; blonde hair blue eyes. 
The reason we are going for the stereotypical blonde is because their characteristics are usually innocent, yet dumb we want the character to be "dumb" because we want to portray that she is stupid enough to call for the spirit to be awakened purely out of her own boredom.
