I decided to chose my friend Grainne for this role because, as i based parts of my project on Scream, I thought that she would be best to portray the role of Casey (Drew Barrymore) as they are both young and innocent. They are both stereotypical young adults who are easy targets for stalkers/killers.
They both share many similarities, such as their age and how they are both seen to be home alone on a dark night. Even these two images are very similar, as they are both filmed close to windows/mirrors, just to show the audience the surroundings, and to increase intensity, always wondering if something or someone will appear out of no where. They share similar facial expressions once they know they're trapped and have to fight for survival.
However, they have some differences: notice how Drew is seen to be wearing all white and creme colours, and the phone is white, the walls and window/door panels are white? This is to make the blood that will appear more noticeable. The blood will show up more when applied on white colours. This makes blood seem even more scary and dramatic as white emphasizes the colour contrast. Whereas Grainne, my main character has been put in darker colours, has a black phone in her hand, has dark surroundings, and is in a kitchen with dark materials. This is to show that there won't be any gory moments in the first two minutes, as it only illustrates that someone is in the house. What happens next, we don't know...
