As we have decided to focus our trailer on a paranormal theme we have decided to keep the victim and the killer to be both female. This allows us to be more conventional with our trailer and conform to the tropes of a main female victim and use the effects of isolation and fear to drive the same feelings and effect into our target audience.
The cast:
Victim - Gabriella Marriott:
We chose Gabi as our primary victim because she has the appearance of the typical female victim seen in horror and therefore allows us to conform to the convention of having a good-looking female as the lead.

Victims Boyfriend - Aaron Hutton :
We decided that our victim should have a relationship in our film, to add another dynamic to our trailer. We used Aaron as he was actually the boyfriend of our chosen victim in real life.

Killer (the soul taker) - Clara Dailey:
We decided to use clara as our main antagonist as she, was the one who had all the props and makeup that would fit our killers role and was a good actress.

Doctor Branning (voice over) - Matthew Stevens:
In terms of the role of Dr. Branning, we asked Matt Stevens to provide a scottish accent in order to create animation and impale fear and emotion vocally.

Sub-victim - James Marshall:
James can be seen yelling "STOP!" in the scene where Gabriella is about to take a photo. We used James because he seemed to fit the stereotype of s teenager the most suitable for our trailer.

Victims mother (voice over) - Leanna Mays:
We chose Mrs Mays as she was the only adult that had a good voice to fit the role of our victims mother, and she has some acting experience, so using her voice will make it seem more realistic.

DNA Experts - Jacob Lawrenson and Samuel Gabb
We picked Jacob ad Sam as they both had deep voices and they delivered the lines we gave them perfectly and their voices suited the atmosphere.
