This document discusses potential casting choices for roles in a film trailer. It suggests Isabelle Fuhrman for the role of 'Aracelia' as she has experience playing young roles and has shown her ability to adapt to different genres. Patrick Wilson is proposed to play the father role due to his prior performances as a protective parent in films like Insidious. Lin Shaye is put forward for the elderly woman role given her experience playing mysterious characters, such as in Insidious and Ouija. The document also lists some local casting options for the roles of Rick, Aracelia, Jeff, and the Old Woman and provides brief reasoning for each choice.

1. Casting
Afshana Aktar

3. Isabelle Fuhrman
This actress has starred in the popular films: Orphan and
Hunger Games. She would be the perfect actress to play
our character ‘Aracelia’ as she has a young looking face so
she could play off a young aged character (she is currently
17 years old). Even though the film Hunger Games is not
from the horror genre it has aspects of thriller and
Isabelle Fuhrman has shown that’s capable of adapting
into different characters of whatever genre is suited for.
Hunger Games has aspects of thriller which this actress
shows how dangerous she can be. In Orphan Isabelle
Fuhrman made outstanding performance when being the
protagonist in Orphan and won best actress from the
Fright Meter Awards.

5. Patrick Wilson
Patrick Wilson is 41 years old and has acted in The
Conjuring and Insidious. His role in Insidious was a
father which he did a brilliant performance of. In
insidious he had to act the protective father role by
trying to save his son when doing so he was able to
portray that important parent-child bond this
quality would be essential for our trailer. He also
became the victim in insidious which is very much
like our father character in our trailer. He would be
best suited to play the father role in my film as it is
fairly similar.

7. Lin Shaye
For her age Lin Shaye has much experience in
acting and is most recognised for being in
Insidious. She has also recently starred in Ouija.
Her roles in both films are quite the opposite. In
one she is the helper and in the second she is
the saboteur. She would be great to play the
elderly woman in my film trailer as the character
is mysterious and acts upon a role of something
that is not what it seems. Her role from Ouija
would come similar for the role we have.

8. Casting for our trailer
• Shahid Islam; Rick
Shahid’s personality is very sensible and has experience with children as he has a
big family. This experience can be used as an advantage when acting as he can
show how behaviour from an adult to child should be.
• Afshana Aktar; Aracelia
Afshana babysits part time as well as in school mentoring and can adapt and
recognise childish behaviour. Her young looking face will come in handy to play a
young aged character yet be serious when appropriate.
• Stefan Eric; Jeff
In his free time Stefan likes to spend time with friends by going to social
gatherings. He is well known to many people and knows how to build friendships
easily. His persona will come hand in hand when acting the “good friend” role in
our trailer.
• Shenaz Yasmin; Old woman
Shenaz takes Drama and has experience in acting out various types of characters
for school plays. For our old woman in the trailer there isn’t much vocals. The
character is discrete and silent to be mysterious so not much skill is needed.
