Budget & Cast

BUDGET

As in many productions, a budget is most

important for the creation and maintenance of not

only the movie, but also the trailer.

Since this is a College project, there was no

budget, but between ourselves we decided we’d

spend a maximum of £50.

Props included the Witches Cape and make-up. We

only had three characters which highly benefitted

the stretch of the budget.

OUR EXPENSES

Cloak: £20

Make up included:• Foundation: £6• Eyeliner: £3• Eye Shadow Kit: £3.50• Red Lipstick: £4• Concealer: £3.50

TOTAL: £40

We are just under budget, therefore we saved some of our

own money.

WHO HAS WHAT?

WITCH: The witch was the character who perhaps used more make-up.

Despite the idea of sticking to a simple witch and not giving her the

traditional long nose, and warts etc. she had to look flawless. So she

applied the foundation for flawless skin, the bright red lipstick, and all the

eye make up. The smoky eye effect gave off a mysterious look which is

what we were aiming for.

HANSEL & GRETEL: As to make them look like simple young kids, we

decided that all they would have to do is wear simple clothes, and nothing

overly flashy. This allowed the audience to identify with their innocence

and allowed the audience to side with them against the witch.

CAST

The following cast had minimal experience in the

drama world, but we thought they would fit right in

to the characters we wanted.

HANSEL: Andre Rodrigues

GRETEL: Isabel Ribeiro

WITCH: Kareem Short
