Sadly on the day we decided to film our trailer two of our principal actors couldn't make it. Kyle and Hollie counselled on us at the last minute. Luckily we managed to find replacements which led to a rewriting of the synopsis. Jessica and I both agree that the new synopsis is actually a lot more original and exciting than the first one.
To replace the character of Morgan, Jessica asked her nine-year-old brother, Edward, to come along. This meant we had to change the character from Vanessa's boyfriend to her younger brother. I personally think this made the film a lot more exciting. Because the young boy added an element of incense which meant the stakes were higher in the action scenes. The idea of using a young child has been used many times before in horror movies. For example the Omen, the Grudge and the Ring. Edward has also had some acting training and is very comfortable in front of the camera.
Ashlee Sutherland came at the last minute to play the character of Emily. She still has a very tomboyish look similar to Hollie. She is also very spunky and sassy similar to the character of Sidney in the 1996 film Scream. She is also a good actress with some acting training and is very charismatic which made her easy to direct.
