There are 4 main characters in our trailer. these are their character profiles and what they will be doing in my trailer. Highlighting whether there convention or not and why we have chosen to do this.
Shria plays Sammy who is the final girl in the trailer
When deciding to use a final girl in our trailer it was important that we conformed to the rules of Mulvey's theory. We portrayed this through things like the mise en scene of the character. As you can tell in the picture above her costume is all white which represents purity - something a final girl character holds - which is why we made her wear all white. She also has a flowery headband - flowers are sometimes associated with children and innocence. We also made sure she wasn't wearing any heavy make up to comply with her being pure and innocent.
Her character is scared to go to the haunted house with the rest of her group but does in none the less as she needs to get a good grade on her assignment. All the way through the trailer she is the one most skeptical of the situation the other two girls get themselves into.
Beth plays Lara who is the friend that goes along with everything Kerri does as she wants to fit in.
Lara is the friend that goes along with the rest her group (particularly Kerri) as she just wants to fit in with them. she is dressed in ordinary clothes, however in most horror films, most of the cast die. Her character dies because she doesn't always follow the rules and wants to live care free. Similar to the friends of Laurie in Halloween, she dies because she is apart of that group and is not as pure as Sammy
Asha plays Kerri who is the promiscuous girl in the trailer.
Through the research of horror films such as Halloween and Carrie I realised that there is a reoccurring convention of a promiscuous/bully type of character. This is played through Kerri and the things we done to present this is though things like the Mise en scene. She wears medium to heavy make up, red lipstick and red/wine colour top, that is revealing and shows skin. Lives care free, has no repercussions and always up to try something new. Her character is one the to find the article on the computer and push her group to to go to the haunted house. She is attracted to the trill and the danger of the house that eventually gets her into trouble.
Jozefina plays Annabelle who is the suicidal teenager that is coming back to haunt the girls
Young and innocent girl who has committed suicide because of the ghost Guinevere who haunted her once her and her family moved into the house. She was told by the ghost that she wanted to be just friends, and when she told her parents, they didn't believe her. At the beginning of the trailer when the teenagers find the article about Annabelle, it is unclear of the reason she died. When they arrive she follows them around the house, until they find a diary, when Sammy finishes reading her last entry, chaos strikes.
