Section 1: Task 3: Film Characters
Character 1
Name: Sophie Wilson
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Costume: Ordinary clothes eg. jeans and a hoodie/ t-shirt (following the theory set by GK.Chesterson, that a thriller has an ordinary, everyday hero in). Clothes change to show the passing of time, and also change to slightly 'scruffier' and more worn clothing when the character has ran away from home.
Props: Diary, bagback
Character background: She is from a single parent family, and has obviously suffered from the lack of mother-figure in her life. Low self-esteem, and a very tempremental/ emotional state. Has a very hostile and unloving relationship with her father, and does not know why. Often very quiet and goes un-noticed in the household, and throughout life, but a completely different side comes to light when she has the diary (where she feels safe to be herself and express feelings and problems she has, all of which is addressed to her mother, whom she collects and keeps pictures of in the diary). This will hint to the audience that she has a split personality, but not give away the plot.

Character 2:
Name: Terry Wilson
Age: 40
Sex: Male
Relationship to character 1: Father
Costume: Ordinary clothes, again conforming to GK.Chesterson's theory - eg. jumper and trousers (to show the obvious age difference between the 2 characters)
Props: -
Character background: Cynical and worn down by life: has been such since the death of his wife. Is hostile with the daughter, often not wanting to be around her and feeling uncomfortable in her presence, but feels like he has to bring her up through life, and this attitude shows in his relations and interactions he has with her. In a dead end job and feeling trapped - constantly living his life in the past with his wife whom he truely loved.
