Actor Profiles

For our final piece, we have decided to only include two actors: a villain and a victim. For these roles we have chosen to use Lucy Armstrong and Josh Kamara from our coursework group as they both know the story-line very well, are reliable and know how the acting should look, therefore it will be easier to film and quicker.

Lucy Armstrong

Lucy will be the victim in our final piece as she is a teenage girl, which conforms to common conventions of victims in all genres of Horror films. She can also sing, which is useful for one of the shots in our opening scene and she also does A-Level Drama so she is comfortable with being in front of a camera and acting to a good standard.

Josh Kamara

Josh will play the villain in our opening scene as he is male, which was the most popular 'killer' character choice in our survey. Although Josh is still a teenager, you won't see all of him, only the back of him and from the waist down as we have decided to keep the killer anonymous to increase tension and to make the opening scene seem more tense and sinister. Josh also does A-Level drama so he is comfortable in front of a camera and getting into character.
