Chloe- played by Sophie Jones (me)

I will be playing the twin girl in our trailer. I put myself forward to

play this character as I will be available to do filming whenever we

need to and I have also acted for other media projects previously.

My character will be presented as the perfect, happy popular girl at

school but will show other sides as the trailer unfolds.

For this reason, I will be dressed in various outfits for the different

scenes shown in the trailer.

Here are examples of the types of clothes I will wear throughout:

Jason- played by Adam Fowler

We chose Adam to play the twin brother because he is the same age as me (Sophie) and he goes to the sixth form with us all so will be available to film when we need him to. Also, Adam did GCSE drama so he’s good act acting.

His character (Jason), will be presented as misunderstood and the audience will end up feeling sorry for him, even though he’s portrayed to be a challenging teenager.

As shown in the picture of him, he will wear causal, but dark clothes (this is for the drug dealing scene)

Here is the outfit he will wear for the prison scene:

-we will also get a yellow prison band for Adam to wear to make it more realistic and show that he’s in prison.

Younger Chloe- played by Amy Jones

Amy will be playing the younger version of the girl twin (Chloe). She will feature in the flashback scene. We chose Amy for this character because she is my younger sister therefore we look similar. As a group we thought about it and agreed that by using her as the younger version of me (Chloe), people will have a clearer understanding about the flashback and wont be as confused.

Here is an outfit similar to the one she will be wearing:

Younger Jason- played by Daniel DavisDaniel will be playing the younger version of

Jason. We chose someone who had brown hair like Adam to make it clear that he’s playing the young version of Jason. Daniel will also feature in the flashback alongside Amy. He will also be dressed in casual clothes- clothes which a 10 year-old boy would usually wear.

Here is an outfit similar to the one he will be wearing:

Jimmy (Jason’s friend)- played by Daryl Naidoo

Daryl will be playing the role of Jimmy, Jason’s friend. He will be the one who visits Jason in prison. Daryl will wear similar clothes to Jason as they are close friends and hang around together meaning they are both involved with drug dealing and getting up to no good. He will wear casual clothes but they will be dark (e.g. a black hoodie).

Here is the full outfit that Daryl will wear:

Dead mother & father-played by Lisa Hickey &

Kevin Hickey

Ellie’s mum and dad will

be playing the dead parents of the twins. They will be dressed in casual clothes (tops with leggings/ jeans) when they’re found in the house. We may include some fake blood in this scene to make the murder scene look more realistic which will be either put on their necks or faces.

Policeman- played by Mr Stent

We have chosen Mr Stent to play the

role of the policeman in our trailer. He works at our school therefore he is easily available to film and he is also a drama teacher. He is a strong, important character and features in various scenes throughout the trailer.

He will be dressed in a smart uniform with a police badge as we want it to be obvious that he is a policeman so the audience doesn’t get confused.

Here is the outfit Mr Stent will be wearing:

Councillor- played by Miss Turner

The councillor will be played by Miss Turner. We decided to chose Miss Turner for this character because she is a confident speaker and will be available to film whenever we need her to. She will feature in Chloe’s counselling sessions by asking her questions to do with how she feels and what her brother is like.

Miss Turner will be dressed in smart-looking clothes to make her look professional.

This is the look in which we want Miss Turner to have:

Journalist- played by Miss Horton

Miss Horton will be playing the journalist in our trailer. Her character is one of the main ones and will appear in many of the scenes included in our trailer. We chose Miss Horton to be the journalist because she is very enthusiastic which is how we want to portray the journalist.

To make her character as realistic as possible, we will dress her in smart, office wear and she will be carrying books and a camera with her.

Here is a picture of the type of look we want Miss Horton to have:

Locations/settings

• First scene in school- common room

• Murder house- Ellie’s house

• Friends house- Megan’s house

• Counselling session- chairs by reception

• Prison scene- Small exam room

• Drug dealing scene- Ally-way near school

School- common room

We have chosen to use the sixth form common room for the school scene at the very start of our trailer. This will be used when Chloe is sitting with her friends before her teacher calls her out for a chat.

We decided that this would be a good place to film as it’s in our school so we can go there on a regular basis.

The family house

We will be filming the ‘dead parent’ scene at Ellie’s house. She has a big kitchen area with a table right in the middle so we decided that this would be the best place to film. Also, we are using Ellie’s parents for this scene so it’s very practical as it’s their house.

Friends house

We will film the ‘friends house’ scene at Megan’s house. We thought this would be a good and easy place to do it as we can go there whenever we need to as Megan is in our group.

Counselling room

The counselling room will also be filmed at Ruislip High school in the sixth form area on the sofas by reception. We chose this place to film the counselling session because it looks quite professional and will be easy to go to whenever we need to film.

Prison roomFor the prison scenes we

have decided to use certain areas of the school to film in. We believe that these areas of the school will be effective as they are quite plain and look professional.

Drug dealing sceneThis is where we will film the drug

dealing scenes between Jason and his friends. We have decided to chose this place because it looks quite rough and there isn’t a lot going on so it makes it look more secretive. We will also try to film this scene when its slightly dull and dark weather to make it more realistic.
