Our Cast

The actress we chose to play the role of ‘Rosie’ in our trailer was a girl called ‘Rosie Goddard’. We chose her because we thought physically she fit the part, with long brown hair, quite pale skin and she is fairly innocent looking. This was essential as she was the vulnerable girl in the film, so we wanted her physicality’s to match her whole personality. However, she had the ability also to play the crazy lady which she later becomes as the film develops.

Our protagonist is an experienced actress as she has already starred in a film, ‘The Knife That Killed Me’. Therefore, we asked her if she would take part in our trailer as she has had experience in this field, and also proves she’s good at acting, which is essentially what we need as well to make our trailer more realistic.

However, it was harder to find someone to play the part of our antagonist. We wanted an older person initially, but we thought attempting to make one of our peers look like an older person would be a struggle. Therefore, we looked into it and contacted multiple local ‘Amateur Dramatic’ groups, requesting if there were any ladies that fit the criteria.

After little luck we decided we would have to slightly alter our expectations. We did have the idea of linking our antagonist to that of the grudge, with the young girl who is always present in the background. She has her hair all covering her face in order to look scary and mysterious.

We asked Megan Ashworth the play the part of the antagonist. She is 17 years old, and in our survey it became apparent that young people were scarier than old people, so we thought we’d adopt this idea.

We thought she would be ideal because we wanted quite a cold character, so we thought the pale face and really long blonde hair would fit well. We could put the long blonde hair covering her face to ensure the mystery and the whole initial idea of her being scary would be a key feature from the start.
