The TRIO of FAY MORINGSTAR - Katherine, JANET - Quynh, and HEATHER - Bianca
were dressed representing the primary colours.
RED - FAY, BLUE - JANET and YELLOW - HEATHER, as per the director's request.
As he had done some reading on colour theory, as far as symbolism, power colours, and felt these colours would help towards their individual character development. (*As well as assist the crew who might struggle with cast names, or character names, so they could just refer to a given colour).
Also each of the character names is specific to a classic horror film actress.
In addition each were given the zodiac sign of their character FAY - ARIES, JANET - AQUARIUS and HEATHER - GEMINI, as shorthand for character traits.
The Demon make up process took around 5 hrs to complete. Thus much like the shark in Jaws, the director decided to show little of the demon, and the horrors of the kills on camera, until close to the end.
This short was completed for the Abbotsford 48 hr film contest. With prompts to write for being: popcorn, "So have you seen Barbie yet?", Beginnings, someone being caught doing something. The team was able to write, film and edit, submitting in approximately 36 hrs. (as Director & editors didn't sleep)
