Conor Tottenham is the actor that will be playing our main "Ghost Hunter" character, Darius. He is well built and fairly tall. He is only 17 years old but we think he could play a slightly older male fairly well as he doesn't look too young. He has the same style and personality as Darius and could pull of the character well. He looks good in the costume we have chosen and is pictured to the left, with a similar costume.
Michael Baxter is the actor we have chosen to play our jogger. He is thin and looks fit enough to fit the stereotypical jogger. The age of this particular character doesn't matter too much and the fact he looks quite young could work to our advantage as it could make the audience feel more sympathy for him when he dies.
Will Mayes is an actor we've chosen to play one of the extra boys. He looks a little older than the typical 17 year old and looks completely different to most of our other actors, giving us a big contrast, and defining the characters more, like they do in the typical horror film. Will could be defined as one of the "Jock" type characters.
Teresa Rendell is the actress we've chosen to play our main girl, Kate. She looks innocent, like a main girl in a horror film would be and so the audience can relate to her. Her look is fairly young but this again could work to our advantage to let the audience relate to her more and feel sympathy for her. She doesn't look too young however, and can still fit into the teenage feel we're going for. Our side plot of romance between Kate and Darius will work well with both our actors as they look a similar sort of age, maybe with Darius looking slightly older, fitting our character descriptions.
Aurelius Noble is an actor we've chosen to be an extra teenage boy. He'll also be the boy at the end who gets dragged away for the final shot. We think he's perfect for this role because he looks innocent and young so the audience will feel sympathy for him.
Zoe Macleod is another actress we've chosen to be an extra teenager. We don't need to focus much on her as she won't be a huge role but she looks old enough to fit in with the group and doesn't look similar to the rest of our cast and so gives our characters more definition.
Gulnar Mimaroglu is another actress we've chosen to be an extra teenager. Again she's not a huge role in the film so we don't need to focus much on her. However she has a distinct different look from the rest of the cast, giving our characters a more defined feel.
Maddy is an extra girl we've chosen to be in our film. She looks around the same age as the rest of our cast and has a completely different look as well. She's not a huge role and so not much thought went into her but we think she'll look good in the film.
Lou is an extra boy we've chosen for our film as he's quite old looking and looks different to most of our other cast members. Again he's not a huge role and so we didn't put much thought into choosing him but we think he'll look good on camera and will cooperate well.
All of the cast have been selected carefully so that none of them are similar at all and so the trailer, like most horror trailers, lets you see that each character is very much seperate and fall into certain categories. They're all sensible people and are more than willing to help out, so we can film with them very easily. They're also all free during the first week of christmas holidays which is when we've decided to film.
