Casting and Props

The character in our production will be a white teenage middle class girl Eve Monaghan.John Carpenter's Halloween is often credited with creating an early basis for the slasher genre. The way in which a mentally disturbed killer, disguised as they stalk their prey, sneaks up on female victim in a vulnerable moment. This is the same convention used in our production so we decided to use the conventional character of a young naiive teenage girl.

The props we used in our production were;

The Srapbook - the book contained a collage of maccarbe images and disturbing content. It mirrors the symbolisation that the book in red dragon has, bieng that our scrapbook sets up the plot for the audience and gives them an insight into the storyline.

The knife - A knife is a typical prop that would be in a horror/thriller films such as Halloween and Pyscho. We chose to use the knife as a prop becauase it was accesible and realisitic and was relevant to the story.
