Apparently, the film has been blocked again. I'm uploading it to Vimeo right now.

'The Following' Film Opening

I've had to upload this again, as the original file I uploaded yesterday was blocked by YouTube, due to an apparent copyright infringement. Hopefully this file will work, and will not be blocked, but I will back-it up by uploading it to Vimeo as well.


Here is the opening to 'The Following'.

Sarah-jane Eyles

Sarah-jane is playing Emma Greene, the victim in 'The Following', or the "followed" if you like?

She fits the character of Emma perfectly with her slim build, blonde hair and attractiveness. She reminds me of the characters of The Plastics in the hit Disney film, Mean Girls, with her blonde hair and small body, and so I knew that she would be perfect for playing Emma. Emma is also a very kind person, and Sarah-jane is a very smily and likable person; this makes her perfect to play my main character.

Jayson McGlen

Jayson is playing the stalker in 'The Following'.
His appearance breaks the stereotype of the typical 'geeky stalker type' because he is tall and slim, and from my research, I have noticed that a lot of stalkers from various films and TV programmes and the general stereotype given to 'high school geeks' is short and dumpy.

SO FAR!

I now have one actor here (Jayson McGlen, who is playing my stalker) and ready to film, and so am going to take a few shots of him being "stalker-like" whilst I wait for Sarah-jane, who is playing Emma Greene, to arrive.
