1) Actors:
As you can see from our redrafts, we were originally only supposed to have one actor and that was the female protagonist who was being sentenced for which craft. This was to be played by Maeve Ramsey. However, when we got the film downloaded and were ready to edit, we realised that there wasn't enough character development and so, the storyline was suffering. Therefore, we decided to include an extra character as a counterpoint. This character in to be the antagonist of sorts and will be a male who is getting ready to join the mob that will sentence or harm the protagonist.
When we realised we needed to refilm, the original actors were no longer avoidable and so we had to seek both another protagonist and another antagonist:
Protagonist: Emer o'Kane,  Female, 17 Years old
The protagonist needs to look innocent and vulnerable and so we picked Emer as she is small and slight.

Antagonist: Adam O'Loan, Male, 18 years old
The antagonist needed to look normal, as though part of the mass hysteria, but also slightly more menacing in comparison to the protagonist.

2) Location:
Originally, the location was to be in Bangor, which was situated an hour outside of Belfast. We made many trips to our location and mapped out the exact track that the protagonist would use to run along. After filming, we realised that modern buildings could be seen which weren't accurate in conjunction with period dramas. As well as this, we knew that due to time restraints and transport issues, we would have to change our location. therefore, we settled for 'Lagan towpath', which includes vast areas of woodland and absolutely no modern influences. This was accessible as it was only a fifteen minute drive from Belfast.

3) Costume:
We had already organised our costume for the protagonist and it will stay exactly the same as it is in keeping with the codes and conventions of the costume of Ireland in the 1700s. This costume included:
-Lace up boots
-A knitted shawl
-A floor length skirt
-A plain black t-shirt
-Minimal makeup
-Hair in plats as shown in the tutorial
-possible bonnet

The antagonists' costume is less formal as we only ever see his face and his gads. Therefore, all we need is something very minimal that will blend in with the background, Like a black T-shirt. His hair and make-up will be natural.

4) Props and miscellaneous:
- Scripts for all of the actors and the production team

- The conviction letter, which will be written in old calligraphy and a teabag will be used to stain the paper
- Hair, makeup, costume
- Eyedropper so that the protagonist can cry
- tripod
- Cannon Camera
- Soil/ FX to dirty the protagonist's finger nails as she falls
- A wooden stick, with cloth wrapped around the top. ie. our torch flame.
 - A bucket of water
- A lighter/ Matches
-We had a bottle of vodka with the intent of using it for lighter fuel, however, when we did the test run with the matches and the lighters, we must have spent around an hour trying to light it. It actually extinguished the matches instead of anything. we included this in our redrafts.
