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.
