26/09/11 - Characters

The first character that we decided on was one of the main characters. We chose our friend Georgi to play the role of the girl that goes missing (Lily), as we felt she could easily play a vulnerable, quiet person.

Below are some photographs of her during filming, and her costume. We decided that as in the film she's coming home from a party, that she should be wearing an outfit that suggested that. That is why she's wearing a girly dress with a small denim jacket, and heels. We mainly used pastel and pale colours, which would compliment her small figure and blonde hair, adding to her 'innocent' and 'fragile' image. Even if we do not continue to film her in this costume, we may still use the same colour scheme. Using my research into costumes will help me to think about what else she could possibly wear.




Our other characters include:


Shannon: She is the character that becomes obsessed with finding her missing friend, and so her behaviour and costume should reflect this in some way. An idea we had was that her outfit could either be quite plain, and we will use colours like white to highlight the simplicity, and the fact that she isn't too bothered about her clothing because she's searching for her friend. We might try and incorporate the colours of Lily's clothing into Shannon's, so that there is a link that shows their closeness and how much they may mean to each other.


Chelsea: Her appearance will affect her attitude towards Lily's disappearance. As she does not appear worried for her friend, her appearance would show that she has put some effort into looking nice. She will probably have her hair up in a nice ponytail, and will wear casual clothes with nice shoes to show how she can continue her everyday tasks despite losing her friend. We will probably use colours like dark green, blue and brown, as earth tone colours tend to suggest a more relaxed nature, which reflects her personality.
