Characters and Props

In this blog post I have included the agenda for each of the protagonists, not only that but the Props they will use and have provided brief summaries of their personalities, their costume and style.

Within our planning time my group and I have decided to change the name of the character Mia to Lila, this is simply because we felt Lila suited the personality of the character more.
In more detail we have also decided upon age, props, personality and Costume.
Lila will be aged 17, an age we can relate to as students and directors of this project, we feel we can make her more realistic as a character.
Her personality is timid as stated in the images but also reserved and vulnerable however friendly and welcoming at the same time. We want her to be shown as the most unexpected victim,  someone who never puts themselves in danger or in the position where she would be in harm from another person.
In the variety of shots we will do we will have props show such as school books, pictures of family and friends but also an object from her place of work such as an Imeldas bag. We want to show her as someone to be close nit, someone who is only ever in a safe and loved environment. Her costume style will also help emphasise her simplicity and conservative life, nothing revealing or eye catching.

Our antagonist, Mark, will be aged 50.  A more in depth analysis of his personality can describe him as not only obsessive but punctual, controlling, narcissistic, impatient and short tempered, someone the audience would establish as having clear psychopath tendencies. The props we will provide the character with will also help clearly connote this: leather clothes helping establish his neat and clean lifestyle (clean hands, no trace); a wallet full of past victims, young girls, dating back years and finally a watch, to connote his need for constant time keeping.
