Casting

Casting for the teaser trailer is going to be significantly easier than the casting for my film opening. There is only going to be one main (human) character in the trailer, this being the young girl. The girl is going to be around 8-9 years old and i have already found someone willing to play her. Despite her being 12 years old she looks a lot younger. I didn't have a particular look in mind, for example her hair colour, however she has dark hair which is a typical characteristic in final girls.
The other main character is going to be the doll. I'm using the same doll from last years A2 work but because of the first shot the doll will have to look more mangled and dirty. There are two ways i can achieve this; i can either film all the dolls parts from when the girl cleans it up and then after that burn it and make it look more evil or i could use makeup and effects instead. The downside to physically damaging the doll is that i won't be able to re-shoot if i need to. 


A few minor characters will be needed for the stalking montage, mostly young females.
