Casting, Locations and Settings

The location we have filmed at for the slasher film is Dom Ellis' and at Ben Brearley' houses where we have found a few great spots to shoot what we believe would be a good opening to a slasher film it has all the right credentials such as a long road coming down a hill and a two floor house where it would be ideal to shoot it due to it being a confined space and also a basement area for the brutal killing scenes

Cast
1 main killer dressed up in an iconic set of clothing maybe a uniform of some such
1 Final girl who is a typical final girl with brown hair and is very academic also she does not take part in the sins which lead to the death of the scream queen
1 scream queen who is also a typical scream queen where by she is blonde and sexually active

Killer:
Is a man who is hidden from the audience in the starting scene due to narrative enigma being a key concept to our film opening. We choose a weapon to focus on for example the classic knife however we have gone with the idea of a butchers cleaver due to the killer's occupation being a butcher

Boyfriend:
Scream Queen Sterotype
Big bulky lad who isnt afraid of a lot of things just the typical jock lad who plays or is team captain of the rugby team at collage or high school. Does not show much emotion to his girlfriend however.

Scream Queen:
This would be done as the classic stereotype of a scream queen where as the character is a busty blonde female who is not very intelligent and does a lot of stupid things and shows that she is very vulnerable, the clothing that we coose for the scream queen was a move of a seductive way with revealing clothing and acts in a more sexual manner

Final Girl:
The final girl is the classic final girl for example she is a brunette who if a very intelligent girl and shows that she isnt very sinful by not doing anything in terms of drugs and taking alcohol at the party or gathering that is held at the start of the film. The clothing selected for this character was done so that she looked intelligent and academic where by she is wearing a school uniform or collage uniform.
