The limitations of our horror opening in relation to technology available, practicality, what we can and can’t expect of our actors.

Ghost- The most important part in our opening that the ghost plays is when she screams at the end. Although our actor will be able to do the scream, she will not be able to get a distorted look like you see in most horror films. Also ghosts look very gaunt, pale however dirty and usually have rags for clothing depending on the death of the ghost. With ours we will use makeup to give a more pale and dirty look, but again likewise she won't be able to get the full ghostly appearance. With clothing actor will be wearing a white/grey top but to give it a more dramatic look we would like to add to it and change it, perhaps some stitching come undone and also make it more dirty so that it matches the skin.

Simon (Male detective)- For the scene where this actor is in the expectations we can meet because the main role is to engage in a conversation with Rosemary. However at the end we see Simon walk off and get in his car. We would like him to be able to drive off but due to his age this cannot be done, so we decided for someone to be sat in the car waiting for him so that he walks to his 'taxi'/'lift' then we will see Simon sit in the back.

Rosemary- For the role that this actor plays all they have to do is again engage in a conversation with Simon; the other detective. So there is nothing that this actor cannot do.

All the technology we need is available. The technology we will be using is a camera/video camera and a tripod. Also the facilities we need is available too. We did want to use a normal house room for the ghost scene but due to the times that the actor could do we decided to go with a room in school. For the scene that Rosemary and Simon talk we will be filming it on the promenade with them both stood near the prom wall so in the background you'll be able to see the sea. It would make the scene better if we went to film this scene when the tide was hide so the crashing of the waves would make it more tense but due to the times people could film we have to do it when they can.
For all of the characters we can't expect them to be 5* actors due to them not doing anything like this before, however because of 3 years of doing acting in secondary school they have an idea of what will be expected. We do have a script for them to follow but due to not learning them they could be some mistakes, but we will just keep doing re takes until the lines are correct.
