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.
