Character roles within our Trailer

The Clown (Antagonist)- Played by Katy
The clown character within our trailer stands as the sole scare factor within our trailer, so in this case we needed to make sure we used the right actor that would effectively portray the terrifying, psychotic clown that we needed. So due to the fact that Katy was tall and slender, it seemed like visually the right type to play the antagonist as both due to her height she appears very intimidating, but also her frame makes her appear as able to chase and over power three young teenage girls.

The clown as a character we wanted to come across as very mysterious, and leave a lot to the imagination and to the receiving audience's wonder, as we believe that revealing too much about the clowns, reasons and intentions on the three girls wouldn't be how a professional film trailers plot would be structured.

Jennifer (Protagonist)- Played by Myself
As one of the three young teenagers, I felt that both due to our project being different to our as production, we decided we wanted to change the type of roles we were used to, and due to last year, and me playing the antagonist, I wanted to challenge myself into a protagonist role and due to the fact that we are true friends in real life, we believed that i would have good on screen chemistry with the other two protagonists.

The character them self, shows to have  similar interests to her friends, but we also want to draw differences between the group, we believe that their way of thinking when it comes to overcoming the clown, Jennifer will be stronger and have different opinions to her friends, which will possibly cause problems when trying to overcome the psychotic clown.

Mae(Protagonist)-Played by Mae
Our second protagonist, Mae, would be more of a shy character in contrast to Jennifer's character, although will voice her opinion within the group, and often finds herself in the middle of the two other protagonists, Jennifer and Molly.

Mae believed that due to her success as a protagonist last year, she would be more comfortable returning to a protagonist role within our production this year. Our group agreed as we believed that she would be very well suited to the role due to her appearance as innocent and calm looking

Molly(protagonist)- Played by Nadiye
Our final protagonist Molly, is shown as a very domineering character within the friendship group, constantly bickering with the fellow protagonist,Jennifer,  She voices her opinion very often within the group, which we wanted to involve as to have a character that would be frantically panicking within the scary situation of being followed by a malicious clown.

Lat year Nadiye played the main protagonist in our production very successfully, and again our group as a whole felt that Nadiye's skills very much suit the role of a protagonist and therefore we felt she would work best within her role as Molly.
