Film Name - Rapunzel
Actress - Talulla McNeilly
Genre - Thriller / Realism / Drama
CASTING : We cast Talulla as our protagonist as she takes drama as an A-level and also is a close friend so she wouldn't feel embarrassed to act for us. Also she has very outstanding long red hair, and has quite an 'innocent' look about her which was ideal for what we wanted in our protagonist.
The idea for the film to be called Rapunzel was because the fact that Talulla's hair is red and long which adds a very symbolic feel to the opening. Also with the story line being that her mother is the villain and in the story books tale the step mother locks her away in a castle, well our modern twist to the tale is that she is trapped as she is forever looking over her shoulder, very wary of her Mother.
There are very little props other than Talulla's phone as we wanted the opening to be simplistic with much of the focus on the protagonist and for the audience to figure out what is going on via her expression.
The costume is just Talulla's own clothes, and Talulla did her own make up also, which we thought appropriate as we want it to look as authentic and realistic as we can. Our audience will most probably be around the same age as Talulla if slightly older, therefore this way, they will be able to relate to her and her dress sense.
