The document describes the actors, costumes, and props for the main characters in a play or film. Eric will be played by Dan Ivett and dressed scruffily, carrying a bloodstained hatchet. Travis, a contrasting character, will be played by Joey Pinder, dressed in dark colors with a bowler hat and umbrella. Eric's psychologist will be played by Charlie Gaston, dressed smartly with glasses, carrying notes from the deceased psychologist. A minor character, a lady in the woods, will be played by Lucy Brooks in normal walking clothes.

1. Actors, Props and Costumes.
Eric:
 Eric will be played by Dan Ivett as he’s short, got slightly light brown hair, both to contrast
Travis, and isn’t built too stocky which I feel suits a psychologically tormented killer as
supposed to a ‘kill for fun’ character.
 Eric will be dressed scruffily with messed up hair and blood stained, tatty clothes. This
again suits a stereotype of a mentally unstable character with inner demons as his clothes
show how he doesn’t understand other people’s views and standards.
 He’ll carry a hatchet in the forest scene as it takes place after a murder – the hatchet
obviously being the murder weapon. This suggests a ruthless, relentless character who
doesn’t’ value pain.
Travis:
 Travis will be played by Joey Pinder as he’s tall (much taller than Eric), has dark hair and I
think can be styled to look quite sinister which is what I had in mind when thinking of the
character
 Travis will be wearing dark colours (Black coat, black jeans and a lighter shirt) to create
this sinister look. I also want him to look atypical so he will be wearing an eccentric
Bowler hat and will carry round an umbrella whatever the weather. Although hell be
wearing dark clothes, I want him to have light under layers and tones in small aspects of
his costume as his character is meant to represent a repressed, distant, positive side to
Eric.
 Other than his umbrella, Travis will have no props. The umbrella will be contrasted to
Eric’s axe.
Eric’s Psychologist:
 He will be played by Charlie Gaston. (The character is a lady in my script and a story
board but had to be changed last minute due to circumstances.) I’ve chosen Charlie as he
does not bare any resemblance to Eric or Travis and can play awkward, intellectual type.
 He will wear round, tortoise shell glasses to show maturity and intellectualism and will
dress fairly smartly when in the café.
 His props will be Eric’s old psychologist’s diary (killed by Eric and is hinted at by “she
cancelled…”) which contains her notes and notes made by Eric.
Lady in the woods:
 She will be played by Lucy Brooks and will wear normal, walking clothes. This is a minor
character used to demonstrate the level of Eric’s problems.
