Casting

 When it came to casting we had to make this decision as a group. To challenge the typical codes and conventions of this genre of film we made our leading victim a male. We ended up having Paige’s sister’s boyfriend Gareth to be our leading man as he didn’t look like a typical type of person to be a leading character in a film however we wanted this effect because it meant that it would be a twist. For Chloe’s mugging scene we completely changed our codes and conventions of what a mugging scene would look like by having girls to be the muggers. Also by having one girl shorter than the other it creates a slight comedic element that it is very unexpected for two girls to be the attackers and with one of the females being black it goes against the convention that it is all white males to normally make attacks.
