This is Alissa, she plays Katie our main character in the film. We choose to use Alissa as she is a young attractive girl with long blonde hair. This fits the stereotype for girls in thriller films, as the long blonde hair connotes femininity and innocence. She also looks like 17 years old, which is the age we wanted our main character to be. She also comes across as a normal British everyday teenager, this is important as the female audience members will be able to relate to this.
Alissa is part of drama groups outside of school, studies A-level drama and is often in theatre shows. This allowed us to be sure that she would be professional and believable when in our production and also would be understanding to how long it may take to film the whole trailer, and do as many retakes as needed.
These are Katies two best friends who are also shown in the trailer. Having these two in the trailer shows that Katie is sociable and popular, this highlights how she has a social life inside and outside of school which helps the audience get to know her more. If the audience feel like they know her well then they are more likely to feel sympathy for her when she is attacker.
The antagonist in our film is not shown, however is played by Peter, who is in our group. We tried to keep him hidden and completely out of shot as our USP is that our film comes from the attackers point of view. In the shots that he is shown we tried to keep him hidden in the shadows or in the background so it can not be seen who he is. This creates mystery in our film which will scare the audience more.
