Character development

For our Character sophie:


ellen page
She is a very vunerable young girl there is no two sides to her, shes simpley a young school girl trying to work out life. When we were trying to create her personality and character we needed to decide exactly what her intentions where because we one of my genre focus films the young girl who is talking to the olderman on the internet in (HardCandy) Ellen Page plays a girl who we think first is the victim but it turns around that she was the one watching him knowing he was a pedophile and she was stopping at nothing to stop him. Ending the film with her(The little girl) having all the power of the protagonisits. This is not what we wanted my character to be like. We wanted her simpley the victim she had no other intentions so i think the best character you could compare my character to is the 14-year-old Annie in the film TRUST.


Character Annie




This character is the victim throughout the whole film, this is a comparrision to my character. She is at school, only 14 years old and she only began talkin online to a guy when she got a laptop for her birthday. her life becomes a nightmare however she doesnt die whereas my character doesnt get out so lightly. Our character is the focus of this film so her part is cruical to play and our actress we have choosen must know exactly how she is meant to be, our actress for the role of 'Sophie' Is called Jessica. She is infact 14 years old which helps her to have a more relation to the character:

FOR OUR UNKNOWN PHSYCO CHILD KILLER 'ONLINE' MAN:

For my man it was quite hard to relate him to any character as we never see his face and he never speaks to he is this unkown figgure who could infact be anyone. I wanted him to be a mystery which makes the trailer that bit scarier because we dont know who's she's dealing with. The hood up is to create that mystery and because you cant see his face you feel almost threatned, think if i was a lonly long round or a dark night and you saw someone with his hood up following you, you would feel very vunerable and threatened rather then someone whos face you can see. Look at how intimidating these three guys look with their hoods up:

Its the unknown which scares us. This is exactly what i want my man character to have. Mystery, unknowing and to feel threating and creepy.
