Casting

Afshana Aktar

1.

Isabelle Fuhrman

This actress has starred in the popular films: Orphan and Hunger Games. She would be the perfect actress to play our character ‘Aracelia’ as she has a young looking face so she could play off a young aged character (she is currently 17 years old). Even though the film Hunger Games is not from the horror genre it has aspects of thriller and Isabelle Fuhrman has shown that’s capable of adapting into different characters of whatever genre is suited for. Hunger Games has aspects of thriller which this actress shows how dangerous she can be. In Orphan Isabelle Fuhrman made outstanding performance when being the protagonist in Orphan and won best actress from the Fright Meter Awards.

2.

Patrick Wilson

Patrick Wilson is 41 years old and has acted in The Conjuring and Insidious. His role in Insidious was a father which he did a brilliant performance of. In insidious he had to act the protective father role by trying to save his son when doing so he was able to portray that important parent-child bond this quality would be essential for our trailer. He also became the victim in insidious which is very much like our father character in our trailer. He would be best suited to play the father role in my film as it is fairly similar.

3.

Lin Shaye

For her age Lin Shaye has much experience in acting and is most recognised for being in Insidious. She has also recently starred in Ouija. Her roles in both films are quite the opposite. In one she is the helper and in the second she is the saboteur. She would be great to play the elderly woman in my film trailer as the character is mysterious and acts upon a role of something that is not what it seems. Her role from Ouija would come similar for the role we have.

Casting for our trailer• Shahid Islam; RickShahid’s personality is very sensible and has experience with children as he has a big family. This experience can be used as an advantage when acting as he can show how behaviour from an adult to child should be.• Afshana Aktar; AraceliaAfshana babysits part time as well as in school mentoring and can adapt and recognise childish behaviour. Her young looking face will come in handy to play a young aged character yet be serious when appropriate. • Stefan Eric; JeffIn his free time Stefan likes to spend time with friends by going to social gatherings. He is well known to many people and knows how to build friendships easily. His persona will come hand in hand when acting the “good friend” role in our trailer.• Shenaz Yasmin; Old womanShenaz takes Drama and has experience in acting out various types of characters for school plays. For our old woman in the trailer there isn’t much vocals. The character is discrete and silent to be mysterious so not much skill is needed.
