Actors And Costumes

Callum Webb playing Harry Woodford: wearing navy jeans and rugby top with white trainers. I believe this attire compliments his age, as he's playing a 11 year old. Callum Webb was chose to play Harry as he is a young, and so fits the criteria very well.

Pam Everett and Jay Armitage, as Mr and Mrs Woodford.  They’ll be wearing casual attire which would usually be worn for flying abroad, as they’re going away for the weekend. Pam and Jay were chosen to play parents as they're similar ages as normal parents.


Caitlin Hewitt will be in the role of the babysitter, Ruby Cott. She is 18 years old, so fits in with the stereotypical babysitting teenager. She will be wearing casual clothes which you would lounge around a house in I chose. Caitlin to be the babysitter as she's a female, therefore hold the connotations of vulnerablity. Caitlin is also a keen theatre student, and was ideal to play a role within the film.

Location And Props

47 Moss Lane 
I shot most of the scenes for our trailer in this location, as we portrayed it as the Woodford's family home. It is currently being decorated so would therefore fit in with the idea that the family had just moved in. While filming at this location we used several props to create the new home image, such as cardboard boxes and suitcases.



20 Newick Road
This was the location used to film the child in a boys bedroom, as well as him drawing. The room was decorated in stereotypical colours relating to males, such as blue, and showed the age of the boy. I decided to have the boy draw pictures inappropriate for his age, to convey his abnormality, therefore the props used are paper and pens.


Mill Farm, Towerhill
I decided to use this wide space as I feel that it creates a sense of lonliness for the small boy. There were no props used during these scenes.
