This character is the protagonist of our thriller; she is a girl who seems to be inhumane and disturbed. She is situated in an abandoned derelict house so we assume she lives there or did previously. As we have only filmed the opening 2 minutes of a thriller, you just become introduced to her. She is seen in the background of a lot of shots and this makes her an enigma to the audience. The viewers, as well as the 2 victims, played by a pair of teenage boys, can also see her as a threat, as they will (if our thriller is successful) feel as if they’re part of the story, causing them to fear her.
It is controversial for the person posing a threat to be played by a girl and for the victims to be male is unusual. By choosing to do this in our film, we have broken the conventional character types of a thriller by going against the norms. I believe we have successfully done this because from watching the clip, I think it works effectively and portrays fear in the victims due to the over powering sense of inhumanity you can sense from the girl.
Costume choice...
For my costume we chose a cream lace dress, we all thought that this dress portrayed purity and innocence because of the colours. The dress reminded us all of a young child, and ‘dolls’ we all agreed that this would create quite a ‘freaky’ atmosphere because it challenges a classic stereotype of a ‘badies’ costume. We then chose black tights and shoe boots because they gave an ‘edgey’ look it. They gave a sense of danger with the colour coding being black representing darkness and uncertainty.
The makeup I used was dark black eye shadow all around my eyes, this gave a tired and creepy and also unnatural look to my face. My hair was back combed to complete the look even more.
I believe the costume worked effectively, because it was unusual and original, it is an enigma to the audience but at the same time they can tell that I was not playing a normal girl due to the abnormal make up.
