Casting for the Role of our Protagonist

Actor 1:

- subverts the stereotype of the main victim being female

- of a young adult age range

- more experienced acting skills

Actor 2:

- conforms to the convention of the main victim being a young female

- would allow us to experiment with innocent, natural-looking makeup as opposed to heavy makeup

- of a young adult age range which would appeal to our target audience

 Actor 3:

- again, conforms to the stereotype of the main protagonist being a female

- feminine features and long hair

- developed acting skills

 Actor 4

- subverts stereotypical feminine victim

- of a young adult age range

- limited acting skills

Conclusion

In conclusion, we as a group decided that actor 1 was going to be our actor of choice. The fact that he is a member of our group means that he will have a similar creative vision to us when acting and portraying his role. Although actor 2 was also a member of our group, we liked the fact that actor 1 subverted the stereotypical gender roles often displayed in horror.
