For the small dead boy role:

For this role we want someone who is small who will fit inside the cupboard in the lab so when the scientist goes to get equipment for his experiment out the cupboard the body falls out. By using a boy it goes against stereotypical horror movie conventions where a girl gets killed. 

Finn Harris

Likes: football, boxing, xbox

Dislikes: learning, cleaning

I was thinking of using my brother Finn as he is the only small boy me and Kate know of and who was willing to take part. We asked a few year sevens around school but they weren't interested. 

Final cast:

All of the above are people we have considered for the role of the scientist and the builder. All the teenagers are mine and Kate's friends at sixth form, I feel the teenagers would be less appropriate for the roles as they're younger and having them acting as if they're at their place of work looks unrealistic as they don't look old enough, likewise it would be hard to find a location for them to film at because they don't have a place of work. Due to this reason, we have chosen my Dad, Chris Harris for the builder role as he is actually a builder. I feel by using my dad to act he will be unlikely to feel embarrassed and mess around like the teenage boys would because they don't realize the seriousness of the film and may feel embarrassed because when we did short auditions by getting them to read a few lines of a script the boys laughed and didn't take it seriously. On the other hand, for the scientist we originally were going to use Kate's dad Mark for the role, however, Mark was unable to let us use his lab which he works in and he also had no time free to come use a lab at school either. Due to this me and Kate asked one of the science teachers at school to act as the scientist who kindly agreed and allowed us to use of the school science labs. By using men who are in there everyday place of work the will be better at acting because they do this profession everyday. I planned on using my brother to play the role of the small dead body, he was really excited to take part, however we were unable to get Finn in during a time that suited Dr Bavage (the scientist) and Finn because it would result in Finn coming out during school time, as a result I had to quickly step in a play the role.  

Costumes: 

The builder will be wearing his everyday building work gear, This consists of old and tatty clothes such as a thick water proof jacket as its the winder and likely to be raining, a jumper with paint and mud down it, think trouser with knee pads on, work boots and a hat. 

The scientist will look as if they're getting ready for an experiment, this will involve the scientist putting on a white lab coat and goggles. 

The dead body will fall out the cupboard facing downwards so the face shouldn't be seen and the audience will just see the hair draping across the head, as none of us are great actors it would be hard to fake being dead so by not showing the face it seems more realistic. However the actors will be wearing make-up just in case, this will consist of a white face paint to make the body look washed out and dead and bit of fake blood splattered everywhere to look as if the body has been attacked. The body will be wearing a plain white tee-shirt to show they're an everyday normal innocent child like everyone else.

It shouldn't be difficult to source these costumes because the the actors are acting in there everyday work attire and therefore they have everything at home and nothing needs to be brought, likewise at home I have face paint and fake blood.
