In our film opening, we are going to be shooting at two different locations. Those locations are at the Furze Platt train station and the second one is at Punt Hill in the park, both in Maidenhead. As we are filming a lot of our footage at the train station, as a group, we need to get a permit signed so we have permission to film there as well as the park.
Cast Research
In our film opening, we need about 4 people overall as actors/actresses. We need 3 teenage girls and 1 person who will be wearing a mask so it’s identity will not be revealed. Our aim is to find someone who preferably does/did drama and someone who is available most days. We didn’t go through the process of auditioning because we have in mind which people want to star in our film. The 4 girls in our film have to act rather naturally throughout the first couple of scenes - just like they're having a normal conversation. The first person we have picked to play one of our girls in Shania Zaman. We chose her because she did drama back in GCSE so she has some experience in it. We also chose Sam Khan because she likes to act and play different roles and she is comfortable when put in front of a camera. For the role of our last character, we had chosen someone who is also in our media group, Siarah Rana. She had volunteered last minute as many other people were not willing to do it and she is not that camera shy and can speak clearly. I, myself, was also in this short film opening as the man dressed in all black. I decided to play this role as we were in need of someone and I was comfortable playing it as I didn't have any lines and my face was not visibly revealed.
All 3 girls will be dressed in modern day clothing which is in fashion as it is set in the present time. These types of clothing consists of: jeans, trainers, jumpers etc. The way the girls dress are shown as very stereotypically as that's the way most girls in this generation dress now-a-days. They will all be wearing make - up but one of the girls will be wearing more than others which shows she has an interest in make-up. They will all be wearing limited jewellery and two girls will have their hair down and the other girl will have her hair styled up. Lastly, we have the character who plays the man following them. He will have no identity revealed as he will be wearing all black with a mask, similar characteristics to ‘Slender man’.
