Emails to/from Louise from StandBy Method Acting Studio:
I emailed the following to the Carney Academy in Sheffield to try to get actors from there:
Hi there,
this isn't really a course enquiry, but I wasn't sure how else to contact you. A friend and I attend UTC Sheffield not far from where you are based, and we are currently producing a film trailer as part of our course. We need to find three actors for this, but have struggled so far! If it is possible, we would really appreciate it if you could put our message out to your students. While we aren't able to pay them, the trailer could be good acting experience for their career. The actors need to be:
-male
-any ethnicity
-aged 18-21
The film trailer is going to be entitled "The Deviation" and it is of the horror thriller genre. The following is a basic synopsis of the film:
-Three university friends go camping in the woods.
-A small meteorite lands early morning and the friends don’t notice it as they are in their tent.
-They come out of the tent in the morning and they need to cook breakfast, so two of them send one of the guys to collect rocks to keep the grill suspended.
-He goes alone into the woods slightly, and picks up a few rocks one after the other. Tracking shot as he does so.
-The last rock (in fact, the small meteorite)- he picks it up, drops the rock, shivers a little before taking it back and returning to the group. First sense of something going wrong.
-Static shot of their car driving away after breakfast, then a cut to the rock and a white light comes on with smoke.
-11pm, back at their accommodation, the one who picked up the rock is laid in bed. He opens his eyes, they glow white and he stands up to look over one of his friends, jump cuts as he does so.
-The one who picked up the meteorite appears dead in the morning, so they leave him and head back to the woods to investigate the rock and what happened to their friend. Similar to earlier shot, we see the car driving away then a cut to the door, white eyes man standing in it.
-He follows them to the woods.
-They find the meteor letting out the white light but are afraid to touch it. Hearing a sound behind them, they turn around, seeing the infected person behind them.
-Fade to black as he takes a swipe at one, moans heard.
-At the end we see one of the characters running away, being chased by the infected. The camera tilts and titles show.
Obviously this is in a linear order but we have come up with a non-linear order for these events, which is necessary for the trailer.
Character Names:
Terry,
George,
James.
We really hope that you can pass this information on to your older students and see if anyone is interested. The times we are available for filming are:
Friday 19th February 09:00 - 13:00
Monday 22nd February 09:00 - 11:00
Friday 26th February 09:00 - 13:00
The locations we will be filming in:
-Norfolk Heritage Park
-The house of either me or my colleague, Matt
Thank you for reading. We would be really grateful if you could pass this information on.
