Cast and Characters

The actress playing Karen will be Emma Bailey. We decided on using Emma due to her having some past experience of being behind the camera, so Emma was confident enough to play the role of the woman. We decided to use someone inside our crew because it was much more convenient for filming and Emma fits the role of the blonde, fulfilling the feminine stereotype we were looking to broadcast with this character.

The actor playing Joe will be Alex Hetherington.  We have chosen this because he is in the group and has some experience in front of the camera.  Also, he fits the stereotype of the male character we wanted to portray to juxtapose the ‘damsel in distress’ stereotype; the woman should be killed first, not the man.  We decided to choose Alex for this because we didn’t have a confident enough friend who could play the part who we could get to the filming easily to act in our production, and it was a good opportunity for Alex to be in a film.

We won’t see the villain character, except for in shadow and silhouette form, so there is no actor for this part.  This is because we think that the ambiguity of the character will make them more threatening.
