→Henry Dalrymple- He is going to play our main character role, as the mentally ill person who wants to be loved, after a hard child hood of domestic violence and bullying. Developing this character was a complicated procedure, we wanted to portray the character as dominant and patriarchal, but with a soft side to girls. It was decided that he would go unnamed to add mystery to the character. This will engage the audience and it will make sure they are thinking ahead, and also trying to solve the puzzle with the type of character he is. He is a violent individual and often out lashes at people due to his inadequate upbringing and socialisation because of moving to many different foster homes.
→Shania Conway- Shania does not live near us, so the first challenge we experienced was trying to provide transportation for her in order to take part in our film. However, she did make it and her character was to be a young innocent teen, the stereotypical smart school girl who loves girly things such as the colour pink. It was decided that her character name would be Rosey as this name connotes peace and love which conforms to the stereotypes that we want to include in our film and trailer. This would make her the perfect target for our antagonist shown above. During the film, she is kidnapped, but is no way physically harmed. On the other hand, it is more of a psychological pain as she is forced to love Henry's character and has to be submissive to his commands.
→Isa Cusick-Knight- She like Shania, lives in a different location to our group. But, through various transport options she was able to make it on the same day which made it significantly easier to film. She plays a character named Daniella that does not get kidnapped, but is the only eye witness that was involved when it happened. She played an archetype of a loyal friend. Throughout the film, she plays a key part in finding Rosey. She has the responsibility to report everything and use the police and other detectives to track down Rosey.
→Aaron Hayes- I was not so much a character, but I was the car driver that would be shown in the film and trailer. Unfortunately, Henry Dalrymple does not drive, so it was necessary for me to play this part in order to get the shots we wanted. Also, my character is to play the detective in the trailer, but it might be a problem that I do not look old enough to play off a intellectual character who has had previous experience in detective work. However, we plan to see how the shots turn out and if they do not fit with the theme of the trailer, we will try to come up with a solution such as getting an older person to play the character or to not include it in the trailer.
→ Elizabeth and Scarlett Dalrymple- They made it clear that they are more than willing to get involved with the production of the film trailer as some of the locations are situated around their home. Furthermore, this led to having both Elizabeth and Scarlett Dalrymple being shot as Rosey's mother and sister. This would be used when the detective comes in and tells them the bad news.
