Film Trailer Actors

Actor Number 1Character Name: BenActor Name: James

James will be used as one of our main

characters in the film trailer, starring as Ben.

Ben is a young boy living in a foster home.

During the trailer, it will go forward in time

showing Ben when he is 18/19 years of age,

which is why we change actors. We have

chosen James to be Ben in our trailer because

he is an ideal 9/10 year old boy and suits the

character of Ben.

This is just an example of the type of

costume we will have our first actor

(James) wear because it is something

a 10 year old would wear and is quite

smart but casual. As our character is

living in a foster home, he will not

have the nicest, designer brand type

clothing but he will still have a

smart/casual look for someone of his

age.

Example costume for

younger Ben:

Actor Number 2Character Name: BenActor Name: Joe

Our second actor Joe, who is playing the older

version of Ben. We have chosen Joe as we

needed a realistic, older version of James. They

both have light brown hair and are both quite tall

for their age and have the same skin colour. This

will help to make our film trailer more realistic and

believable for our audience.

Example costume for older

Ben:

This is an example costume, which our

older Ben will wear in the trailer. He will

mostly be wearing simple, plain t-shirts

and jeans, similar style to what our

younger Ben will wear. As Ben grows

up, he gets a part-time job whilst

balancing his school work and so is

able to afford nice clothing brands as

he was not able to have this when he

was younger and living in the foster

home.

Actor Number 3Character Name: LucyActor Name: Amy

Our actor number 3 will be playing our character Lucy in the

film trailer. We have chosen Amy to be our character for Lucy

because she represents a typical 10 year old girl. Amy has

performed in a number of shows such as pantomimes and

other theatre productions and so we feel that she has the

relevant experience to be able to play one of our main

characters.

Example costume for younger

Lucy:

This is an example of the outfits Lucy will

wear in the trailer. It is quite simple

clothing, which 10 year old girls would

often be seen wearing, she will continue

to wear this style of clothing throughout

the film trailer to portray a realistic

character of a young girl living in a foster

home.

Actor Number 3Character Name: LucyActor Name: SophieSophie is going to play our older version of Lucy in the film.

We have chosen Sophie because she is a realistic version of

younger Lucy as they both have blonde hair and blue eyes,

which makes it more believable for the audience. Sophie

has also performed in a number of shows and so has the

relevant acting experience to star in our film trailer.

Example costume for older

Lucy:

This is an example costume for older Lucy,

her style of clothing when she is older will

be similar to when she was younger.

Simple clothing like jumpers and jeans as

Lucy is quite a simple character. She will

wear this type of clothing throughout the

film trailer.

Locations

We have found some filming locations to use in our film trailer. Our main locations which will be seen in the trailer are:

Foster Home and certain rooms within the house

Local Park

Shopping Mall

Local High Street

Woods

We have taken pictures of some of the locations we have in mind for our film trailer

Madbess Woods - Ruislip

We have taken some pictures of our local

Woods in Ruislip. We would like to use this

location for one of our scenes where our

character Lucy runs away to, in search for

her friend Ben. There are various places

within the woods which we feel are

suitable for our film trailer.

Train Station – Ruislip Manor

This is our local train station, we would like to

use this in one of our film trailer scenes to

show the audience that the characters live

in a typical Central Business District (CBD).

This is one of our local shopping centres

(Uxbridge, The Chimes). We are still possibly

thinking about filming in this area, but by

filming in a busy shopping centre, it can help

to make our film trailer more realistic and

interesting. We want our audience to see that

our characters are typical working class and

not stereotypical characters played in

romantic films (for example, where one

character is from a high class background

and the other from a poorer background).
