We used Emily Dutton as a casting lookalike of Chloe Mortetz an 18 year old American actress. We used Emily because there is a resemblance within her hair and smile. Emily is a good individual to use for the role of the victim in our OTS because the stereotype for a young girl with blonde hair is stereotypically innocent, vulnerable girl who is usually either being stalked or harassed, but then becomes evil after being possessed.
We have chosen a character out of American Horror Story to play the role of the possessed stalker because it is a reasonably tall and handsome/built person that could intimidate some people. This is good to use in the OTS because it is stereotypical that this type of person is intimidated and could be seen as quite a dangerous person depending on the location and where they are. Ryan will play the possessed character that will follow Emily and possess her.
We have chosen another character out of American Horror Story to play Charlie Martin who in our OTS is playing the cameraman, filming a documentary. We used Charlie Martin to play this role as he is a casual, friendly looking individual who would typically be intimidated by a possessed character , therefore would prefer to be as distant as possible. This is why we chose him to play the cameraman.
We used Jamie Beardsley as the TV presenter, Ben Wright for a news show called 'The Wright Files'. Jamie is a good actor to use for this role because he has a big build of 6 ft 5 which helps his capability of protecting himself from the 'mystery' which we are trying to discover, as he is the most significant person in the situation. As a drama student Jamie is also able to create a realistic facial expressions showing fear, which are needed to persuade the audience that our trailer is frightening enough.
