Character Profiles

 

Name of actor: James Woodbine

Role: Antonio Borelli, Victim 

We picked James because he is small and has a youthful face, which creates a sense of innocence that surrounds him. As he is small, this shows how vulnerable and weak compared to the killer, through th e use of levels, with our character being dominant.  James character is a victim  of David Donnell, so it is important to establish this early on, for the genre and audience to feel sympathetic towards him. 

Name of Actress: Kim Renton

Role: Laura Hodge, Victim and Carl Jackson Girlfriend

We picked Kim because she looks friendly and innocent like James, making her an easy target for the killer. This also suggests to the audience that she doesn't deserve to be killed and how ruthless David our killer is. Kim herself, is a confident person , since she plays the second half of a love match, she has a good connection on camera and isn't shy. She is a perfect choice for someomne to play Laura as she is confident, which portrays her.  

 Name of Actor: Daniel Burton

Role: Robbie Andrews, Victim

We picked Dan because as the audience, we are slightly weary of him and we begin to question his actions. We see him as a strong headed and not weak, therefore we can infer that he will put up a fight against the killer. Dan is our first victim of our opening scene, He is shown as quite stern, with a firm edge, we wanted dan to be our first victim as it shows that even though he is presented as strong, we are showing that he isn't strong enough to over come our killer. 

Name of actor: Sam Cartwright

Role: Main character: Jamie stuart

We chose Sam because he has a lot of confidence and some would describe him as a typical teenage boy. He is fairly tall, which shows his dominance in the film as he is the main character and this helps the audience to relate with him. He doesn't seem shy and on camera this is the perfect person we need to present a Vlog. He has a cheeky innocent smile, which makes him a loveable character, which 

relates to the story line of him being a popular Vlogger. 

costume: Sam as he is our main character and focus of our horror film, we have decided to go for a smart casual look, with smart shoes, denim  jeans and a shirt.  Typically in horror films, the victims look ordinary, so that an audience can relate back to them, by having sam wear simple everyday clothing, it shows to an audience that is could happen to anyone. Which creates the fear factor of " it cold happen to anyone"

Name of Actor: Junior Zambektis 

Role: Carl Jackson Boyfriend of Laura Hodge

We picked Junior because, he looks innocent and feable and the audience would feel empathy for him, because you start to like him as a character and feel it would be wrong if something bad happened to him. Junior in this role is playing the second half of a love relationship, this gives the opportunity for hope for junior and Kim as characters, as we see the love 

story, happiness and development through the film. 

Name of Actor: Charlie Romeo-Penn

Role: David Donnell - Killer/ main character.

We picked Charlie, as he is tall, showing his dominance that can be portrayed as a villain, making him the perfect character, this really helps play on the other characters vulnerabilities, showing the fear and making the element of a horror film. he is also very pale, shows how he's very lifeless and death like. He is also strong, typically conveying a killer, as we need someone strong to be able to commit all of these crimes against our victims. 

Costume: Brown jacket, Brown trousers, Brown boots and a Black jumper, to show the nature of our film being horror. The connotations of brown, its a cold colour, it's quite dark. Normally showing stability, except we have chosen brown to show the distortion of our killer. The connotations of black, show it's a cold colour, it signifies death, with hidden mystery just like our killer, as you rarely see him.

Name of Actress: Emily Jennet 

Role: Daisy Williams

We chose Emily to suit this character because,  unlike the other victims, she looks guilty, as if she has done something to result in her death. Emily looks like a leader, almost evil, Emily portrays a character who is very suspicious, and smug with her previous crimes, but is proven wrong, when her justice is brought to her.

Costume for our victims: We have decided for our victims to wear casual clothes, like jeans and T-shirts, to show to the audience that they are normal people, to help the audience really relate to these characters, also to empahsise that this could happen to you as they are just everyday, which helps to create the fear amongst this genre, considering that most psycological thrillers relate to their audiences, we have created our fear and audience, by using teenagers, to grab the audience and take advantage of their vulnerable minds
