Development of characters

The characters in my film would have to fit in with one of the Propian Character Types to make their roles in the film be visible and make the narrative fit the conventions of a horror and what those types of characters conventionally do. For example  The Dispatcher must set the the hero their quest and must be the one to make hem do it.

Ideal Casting

 Elizabeth Olsen (hero/victim) 

Elizabeth Olsen

For the hero of the narrative i would get Elizabeth Olsen for the role. This is because of her role in the fil Silent House, a remake of the Uraguyian film of the same name. In this film she had to play a hero and a false hero at the same time because she first seems like the victim in the narrative but then the villain  then the victim again and she achieves this transition seamlessly through her great acting. I would chose her because she plays her characters realistically because in many horror films the victims seem to have no sense and walk right into a trap, Olsen doesn't play characters like this so the audience will expect her to have sense and will create shock when she still can't get away from something that is after her.

Jack Reynor (villain)

For the villain of the narrative i would ideally have Jack Reynor. I chose him because he played a role in the film What Richard Did were he plays Richard who is a privileged rich boy who's entire life is changed by one act of violence. His role in this made him seem like the victim who had something to hide and he performed that role very well and he doesn't over do it. I think he would be good at playing the role in my film of someone who looks innocent at first but then has something to dark to hide. Also, The fact he looks innocent might provide contradictions of what a dark villain should look like, which could create shock when his identity is revealed and his actions are explained.
