Casting Call Script.


This was the piece of script that we decided to use to complete our casting calls for the different characters. The script is from 'Final Destination' this is quite a famous horror film and this will help us determine who will play which part. By everyone having the same script it makes it fair because everyone is reading the same thing and it will also make it easier for us to analyse.

Casting Results

As a group we had made a decision of who is going to be in the film and the main characters for the film. These are;


  • Maggie - Maisie (me)
  • Steve - Jamie 
  • Grace - Alice 
  • Capman - Fay 
These are the final decison for the main film the reasons are; 

Fay had good confidence reading her lines. This is a key element needed in the film. 

Jamie had the suitable physical characteristics and was also confident reading his lines 

Alice had the suitable innocent look and height for the character. 

Maisie (me) the good discussed I had good confidence and physical characteristics. 


Casting for Grace



For the casting of Grace Hannah was the first person that we trailed. She was very confident but she looks a lot older and we are looking someone who looks younger therefore she would not be suitable.




This is Alice she tried out the part she needs to be a bit more confident with reading her lines on camera however she has the physical characteristic that we are looking for so therefore she would be very suitable for the character Grace

Casting For Capman



Fay was going for the of Capman. She was confident in her reading. However she didn't have very confident body image which is needed.




This is Callum, he read the lines with a lot of confidence however he didn't have the physical characteristics that we required for the part Capman.

Casting for Maggie



Maggie was next for our casting call. She was very confident but didn't have the characteristics that we needed for the character of Maggie



Me (Maisie) was next in the casting call. The group felt like I fitted the characteristics of Maggie. However I need to be less bubbly and more serious.

Casting for Steve



Jamie was who we chose as the part of Steve as he was very confident with the script and loud. He was a bit tense and need to relax more.




Bill didn't fit the characteristics of Steve, he is a bit on the small side. Also he was very clear when reading the script. However he was very relaxed which is a good quality that we need a character to have.

Character board; Steve

This is a character board for Steve. This is the dad and he again is one of the main characters. In the start he is coming home from work, therefore he has to be in smart attire. This is to make his character more realistic.

Character Board; Grace

Grace is the dead girl in our opening sequence, in the scene where she is shown as dead she will be wearing all black, this is to create suspense and make the audience on edge because the view is limited. 

Character Board 1; Maggie


This is a character board for one of the main characters Maggie, this gives us some outfit inspiration of what she will be wearing in the filming. I have chosen very relaxed and laid back clothes as she is playing the character of the mum. Also the start is set in the evening therefore it will be much more relaxed clothing due the tartan trousers and slippers in the character board.

Risk Assessment

This is the risk assessment me and my group have produced. This has shown us the risks that could be caused in the filming of our opening. By creating this risk assessment it lets us see what risks are more likely to happen and prevent them from happening.
