Task 9: Casting Shots

For our casting shots, we chose to create 2 or 3 shots that reflected the thriller genre. In order to make them appear professional we took several shots and angles to give us a better idea of our characters. For example, the character Kali played by Annabel was instructed to channel her soft and shy side for the images whereas for Damien and Lilith's characters, we wanted to be able to reference their more aggressive personalities in their images,  so we had them reflect that by crossing their arms or placing their hands in their pockets.

Damien Walker played by Elliott Jackson

For Damien we chose Chioma's friend, Elliott this was because we felt that he could pull off how we wanted Damien to look and behave. We felt that his height contributed to his character as we can manipulate camera angles to make him seem stronger and more powerful than the other characters. Damien is very popular so he dresses with the typical cool look, ripped jeans and black t-shirt. As he is popular he acts very arrogantly which is reflected in his posture and the way he walks. 

Lara Hunt played by Samantha Jolliffe

Samantha was chosen due to the fact that she has an acting background and suited the personality that lara has such as confident and friendly, however, in the opening sequence, we will focus on the contrasting side to Lara, which is desperate and nervous when she wakes up in the field. A variety of different camera angles are used to portray her shy and nervous character.
