Actor- Stalker: Will Abbott

Ideally, our actor for the stalker would have been an adult with a darker and more sinister "presence" about him, as our research suggested a stereotypical villain would have. However due to the inconveniences of when actors were available to film, this was not possible. We were able to make Will appear more daunting by  using shadowy lighting and framing him to look superior, also by using post production effects such as colour correction we managed to put the message across that he was the villain.

Actress- Victim- Imogen Judd

Our research suggested that the victim of a stalker would be a young girl, preferably with blonde hair to portray innocence and fragility. Imogen has both of these qualities and this made her an appropriate actress. We framed Imogen off centre in certain shots and made her appear smaller in the frame to convey that she is the victim, and the way that shots of her in the light were interlaced with shots of the villain in the dark reinforces this.
