For the role of Bloody Mary I have narrowed down two possible actors to play her character, (there images are below). Whoever I chose to play Bloody Mary needs to be able to but in contacts as I want my main character to have white eyes with the use of contacts, they also have to have a fairly slim figure in order to fit into the clothes I have bought for Bloody Mary to wear.
To the left is Paige Ward and to the right is Amy Groom. I have chosen these two to possibly play my main role as I feel they would both suit my main character for different reasons. The reason for considering Paige to play Bloody Mary is because she has long straight hair that (when down) I could pull across a little bit of her face in order to create a scary look (sort of like the grudge but without all her hair in her face). She would also fit into the clothing I have bought and she is able to put in contacts. My second option, Amy, has been considered because she has wild curly hair which would look good and could connote my killers wild/crazy side. She too will also fit into the clothing bought but I have yet to ask her if she will be able to wear contacts.
In order to check their availability and whether they are willing to play the role of Bloody Mary in my horror teaser trailer I have contacted both Paige and Amy and asked them if they would like to be in my horror teaser trailer, whether they will be free, and if they can wear contacts. Paige said she would happily play the role of Bloody Mary. She also stated that she will be free for the filming and she can also wear contacts ticking all the boxes needed to be able to play the role of Bloody Mary. Amy also said she would love to play the role of Bloody Mary, but she would not be available when I am filming and she can not wear contacts so unfortunately that has ruled Amy out from being in my horror teaser trailer leaving Paige Ward to play my lead role.
I have four other roles to be filled of the victims in my teaser trailer and they are for the characters of Alison, Kate, Tricia and Nadi. I have five possible candidates to consider for this role (as shown below). The people who play this role must take it seriously and can not be allergic to fake blood or fake blood capsules. In order to play Alison the actor must not mind being tied up and having masking tape ripped off her face and having to use a fake blood capsule to spit of blood. Kate must not mind having to fall down the stairs (safely of course) and have fake blood on her hand. Tricia will have to be played by someone who can hold their breathe long enough to film them "drowned" in the bath tub and must not mind being dragged along carpet. and Lastly Nadi must not mind using a blood capsule to spit out fake blood.
Starting from the top left we have Chanika Hikkaduwage, (top right) Banita Sharma, (middle left) Georgia Coan, (middle right) Gwynneth Gordon and (bottom) Gill Ingram. The reason for considering these five people to play a part in my trailer as one of my four victims is because I can trust these people to take a part in my trailer seriously helping me produce a more believable teaser trailer.
I have contacted all five possible actors and asked them if they would be availible to take part in my teaser trailer which all but one replied yes, Georgia unfortunatley wouldn't be availible on the dates I plan on filming, leaving me with my four chosen actors. In order to decide who would play who I told Gill, Chanika, Gwynneth and Banita what each character involves and Gill (having been in plays) was fine with me assigning her the character of Alison who does the most speaking and requires the most acting, she also said that she wouldn't mind beinging tied up and having masking tape ripped off her lips. Chanika wanted the character which required the least amount of talking and acting so I assigned her with the character of Nadi and double checked that she doesn't mind having a blood capsule in her mouth and isn't allergic to fake blood, which she isn't. I asked if Banita and Gwynneth would mind "falling down the stairs" or holding there breathe under water, Banita offered to be the character who drowns in the bath tub which is Tricia, and said she wouldn't mind being dragged on carpet, plus she also has long nails which will help make a creepy scratching noise as shes dragged across the carpet. Gwynneth offered to be Kate who falls down the stairs and she isnt illergic to fake blood which is also good news.
I now have all my characters ready and just have to sort out the props and costumes and then im ready to film.
