Hi, this is my AS Media blog. It contains research and planning for my coursework production (slasher opening) and media exam. I'm in a group with Kate and Poppy. The working title of our production is Camp Ivy. Our production is strongly influenced by films such as Friday the 13th, and its set in a rural location like in Eden Lake.

PP - Actors and Casting


Actors and Casting

Sydney Prescott - Scream



Alys
We cast Alys as the final girl as she has dark brown hair which is comparable to final girls from a lot of slasher films. She also has done a lot of drama which meant we could trust her to act well and work well when given direction.

Ben (middle)


Ben
We cast Ben as the outsider of the group as he was willing to play this part and when asked to found it easy to portray this character. 





Danny
 
jock (Dylan) from All the Boys love Mandy Lane

We cast Danny as the Jock of the group as he also has had some experience with acting and found it easy to switch into the role of a Jock. Being good friends with people in the group meant he was very willing to participate and like Ben and Alys listened to our direction well and understood what we wanted to achieve.

Poppy
 
scream queens
Poppy played the part of the scream queen as she is blonde (fitting the scream queen stereotype) and the opening to our film was based around the scream queen being the victim it made it a lot quicker and more productive to shoot when i knew exactly what we wanted to achieve and what shot variety was needed. It also made it easier if anything needed to be reshot as we would just need me and not have to ask everybody else to give up free time and volunteer again.
