Actors And Props-

For our trailer, we all have an acting role whether it's a main character or someone in the background of scenes.

ACTORS:
Katy- The Clown. We decided that Katy should play The Clown as she was the only one who  volunteered to do so as well as being tall. We want the clown to wear a black and white jumpsuit subverting to the ordinary costume of a clown which includes red, orange and yellow tones. We will also be purchasing a mask to cover Katy's face so it appears far more scary. We chose The Clown idea as we have had many inspirations including the 1990 film 'IT'. We want to put a bit of a spin on it though, this is why we are using different colours for the costume including a mask.
Nadiye- The endangered victim who gets bullied by the two other characters. We chose Nadiye as she is the smallest and most vulnerable. The Clown becomes her friend whereby it gets revenge on the two bullies. We will begin to see Nadiye acting fairly weird and suspicious due to interacting with a 'Psycho' and 'Possessed' character.
Mae(Me)- One of the bullies who targets Nadiye and gets her comeuppance when she comes in contact with The Clown. We chose Mae for the bully as the two main leads had been taken and we needed two characters to portray the bullies. I will be dressed in dark colours to conform to the horror genre.
Chloe- The other bully who targets Nadiye, also getting her comeuppance. We chose Chloe as the two main leads had been taken and we needed two characters to portray the bullies. Chloe will be dressed in dark colours to conform to the horror genre.

PROPS:

The main prop we have for our trailer is the red balloon which is found in the title of our trailer as well as in the clowns hands at all time. We feel this balloon will be successful in positioning the audience to understand the clown is luring in children. It's also something which you see many clowns have and helps make the trailer appear more real. Balloons usually have happy and joyful meanings, however, as its used in our horror trailer it gives a spooky and mysterious effect. I will it will look really successful with the clown as when we are panning the camera and suddenly the clown is there, the balloon will give a much freakier effect.


We may also include a doorbell shot, this will be effective when showing the bullies are home alone and they get a mysterious nock at the door. It will create a tense atmosphere and position the audience to feel slightly uneasy. This isn't completely agreed on yet, although I believe it would be quite successful when portraying the bullies as frightened and overall making the film appear scarier. Many horror films include the unexplainable nock at the door whereby none knows who it is, I feel we could recreate this at our advantage.
