We have used 3 characters in our thriller. The first is the villain who takes the form of a psychopath. When choosing this character we decided to go for the stereotypical large framed man, as this would make the victims seem vulnerable and make the character more frightening. This characters identity is never actually going to be revealed but its his his body language and actions that will make him intimidating. We have made this character obsessed with objects and scenerios that would normally be associated with small children.
Our second character is a teenage girl who plays the victim in the thriller. We have purposely made this character quite naive and vulnerable for her age and this is shown by the different camera angles and shots. We chose a fairly typical way in which the man began to groom his victim which started with them talking over the internet and arranging to meet. This allows the audience to establish what kind of girl she is in the opening few seconds of the thriller.
Our third character is another teenage girl who has previously been a victim of the villian. We wanted to create the persona of a mentally disturbed person as she has been under his captivity for a long period of time. We decided to make the girl's costume like a dolls, as it ties in with the theme of a small childs party. This character has been under his control for so long she is 'brainwashed' and is no longer struggling to escape or frightened unlike our main character.
Tom Payne, Leila Robertson, Paige Brooks and Mollie Duncan
