Further costume and prop research

When delving deeper into ageism and stereotypes of horror associated with age we found out in a poll of 30 15-25 year olds that the most feared age bracket was the young horror characters of film, of which individuals in our poll further went on to quote:
'that little girl in Anabel is the scariest'-anon 16
'i think orphan is the scariest film, but is the character in that a young antagonist or old? shes young at the start and old at the end'- jasmine 18

this study showed us that the audiences we are targeting out movie at fear young horror actors and characters the most, which led us to consider a plot reversal where the young character is the villainous,gothic character rather than the old lady. for this concept we experimented with white face makeup, and white hair chalk to intertwine feared features of old age such as wrinkles and the dull lifeless coloring's hair color and aged features with youth and innocence. in this way, by using a young antagonist character but with some of the features of the elderly, it intertwines all the features and ideologies that our poll respondents noted, and hence our film would appeal to a larger expansive audeince. The photo depicted above shows the young girl that we could use in this antagonistic role, however, we used the same child grudge like archetype in our AS movie opening and would hence enjoy experimenting with different representations and characters to make our movie trailer more distinctive.
