Characters explained

By Anonymous -

Characters:

Anna

Background:

  • Normal 18 year old girl
  • Family orientated – has a normal family life with her mum, dad, brother, dog. Lives in a normal home.
  • Likes taking photos and keeping them in her memory boxes
  • Bubbly
  • Caring
  • Close with her brother
  • Has a lot of friends, outgoing

She will be represented as a bright young bubbly girl, who wears average casual clothing. Wearing white t shirt to contrast against the black dress she wears later on when she switches to the more ‘dark/evil’ side. When she switches to her darker and scarier side, the music will turn very suspenseful and eerie to associate with her change of attitude.

Performance: She only has a couple of lines so facial expressions and body language are the main feature for her character.

Jake

Background:

  • 17 years old
  • Has a normal family life with his mum, dad, sister, dog. Lives in a normal home.
  • Jokester
  • Close with his sister – have a very jokey relationship.
  • Kind
  • Funny
  • Relaxed

He is going to be a very relaxed, friendly character. Your average teenager so will wear very basic and casual clothing to show that. He’s not a main character so won’t need to stand out unlike Anna.

Elliot

Background:

  • 18 years old, lives an average and normal life
  • Likes taking photos
  • Has an interest in Anna, but she only sees him as a friend.
  • Bit of an outcast – doesn’t have many friends.
  • Likes his own company
  • Slightly annoying


He will also be a very normal teenager, casual clothing reflecting on that. He comes across as a caring character, and tries to make a conversation with Anna.

Casting decision

By Anonymous -
Casting decisions Jodie (Anna): I chose Jodie to play the main character, because of her acting abilities, and also because she fits the age group that the character needs to be. She is good at holding a strong performance, especially in a scarier way. She is also good at doing special effects makeup so can help make her character look more eerie and creepy when she becomes possessed. Kai (Elliot): I chose kai because his acting abilities are really strong, and he can maintain a good character. He is the same age as Jodie (17), so it fits the age group for the character. Connor (Jake): I chose Connor, because although he doesn’t have a main part he still can hold a good performance for his short scene.

Initial Ideas

Short film ideas: Psychological horror - relying on mental images to frighten the viewers (viewers imagination Main character (normal, happy, bright person) in garage, listening to music on radio/speaker, sorting boxes out of old photos with brother, joking around with each other. gets a phone call, becomes possessed. she goes upstairs, she stabs him and walks out. The next scene shows the main character in a launderette, unloading the washing (the sheets and clothes etc) into bag, starring directly ahead of her the whole time, in silence. her classmate comes in and tries to make conversation but notices something's wrong. Main character storms out of launderette. The last scene shows the classmate walking through the woods, taking photos, and notices in the distance main character, dragging something wrapped up. calls her name, and she  notices classmate is watching her and begins to chase with knife. ends on cliffhang...
