Group Meeting 2

In this group meeting we have discussed mainly the storyline and the costumes. As we are doing a psychological horror we have came up with something to make the audience think. We have decided to make the storyline a bit complicated so the audience will always trying to figure out what is happening.
For the storyline we have decided to start off with our actor walking in a corridor into a mental hospital and then show them in there room which will be mainly white. She will be rocking whilst looking agitated and uncomfortable.
Whilst she is in this mental hospital she will have a flashback of herself and her sister playing on the swings as children and then suddenly there will be a scary character standing behind them holding a weapon. Then when the flashback has ended she will be in a lot of distress and anger. From this the character will escape and start walking down a road where she will be skipping and pulling down her own wanted posters.
During this trailer we will make it clear that her sister in the flashback has been murdered and now the sister how is the mental patient will be looking for revenge.
We have decided that the woman in the flashback near the start of the trailer will end up being the mental patient who was the one to murdered the sister at the swings yet she does not realise this until the end of the film.

The actor will be a member of my group who is a seventeen year old girl. To come to this decision we took auditions for the person who would be best suited for the role. We auditioned two young girls for the role. They are both seventeen years old and both have blonde hair and are quite small. These two girls were asked to do a scene that we prepared for the trailer and they were asked to be as scary as they could. In the end we came to the decision that we would give the part to the girl who had longer hair and who appeared to look younger because we think she was what we imagined for the role of both the innocent girl and then turn into the more scary character.

She will be playing the woman who is the murderer who is the mental patient. Her costumes will be a long white dress/ gown as when she thinks she is the mental patient. For when she is the murderer she will be in a long black dress and in high heeled shoes.We have brought the white dress/ gown from a vintage store so that it will look like a classic gown for a mental person. It is very basic and goes down over the actress's knees yet not fall length as hospital gowns dont go all the way down to the floor. The black dress is a combination of a black lace dress and a long black skirt which looks very spooky.

We also discussed the hair and makeup in this meeting. We have decided for the character in the black dress will be having lots of dramatic makeup on especially around her eyes. This is because we want the focus to be on this certain characters eyes so the audience can see that she is both characters. This is so people will understand that she is the mental patient and the murderer. We also want the woman with the black dress to have a very curly and crazy hair style so that it looks messy and looks as if she doesn't care about her appearance as she is just thinking about her murders.
The character with the white dress/gown will be having very straight hair to make her look more scary. Also we want her to look possessed and creepy. This girls makeup will make her look very pale and drained and we may consider putting mascara down her face so it looks as if she has been crying at certain points in the trailer. We may do this just before or after a flashback of her sister.

The actor who will be playing the sister in the trailer will be another member of my group and we will discuss there apperance and costume at a later date.
