Character Profiles

This is visually what I would like the small child 'Abbie' to look like in the film. Happy stereotypical small child that is in danger the 'princess' in the narrative theory which connotes to the audience that something is going to happen, which I think helps develop the audience to establish that the genre is a Psychological thriller.

We want 'Abbie' to wear a red and white school dress, which connotes innocence and has connotations of blood and death. By choosing the age of 6 we feel that on camera when we use a long shot, it make 'Abbie' look vunerable and an easy target on camera instantly showing the audience she is in danger. 

This is what I think the mother should look like, calm collected and a professional appearance, clean, well presented. This connotes to the audience that she is the 'hero' in the narrative theory, the person which helps the film to reinstate the equilibrium.

We want her to be middle aged and responsible for her children while the father is at wokr shoing that she is domestic. We want to show the show the audience she is the provider for her family and has dominance over many og the characters shown.

 This is an ideal image for the older brother. Smarlty dress ready for a day at college. We did not want a stereotypical view of the youth in the media as most are represented as badly behaved or 'chavs'.

 This is one of the props we intend to use in our opening, this however is a stereotypical aspect to the teenager, as he is constantly on his phone texting.

 

The are the style jeans and top we would like the the teeanger to wear, as we wanted to show the audience in terms of class that the family were comfortable financially and a middle class family

Although this picture shows a clean shirt, this is the style we would want the villain to wear, but would be darker and dirty. In our opening we intend to only show the villian for a brief second, so the only piece of costume that needs to taken into consideration thinking about mise-en-scene is the shirt he is wearing.
