Planning Character resprensentation - Miss G

Character representation is essential to narratives as it is how someone is presented to the audience which gives an insight into how they might react according to their clothing,background and attitudes.

Victim

Name: Chelsea
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Race: British
Background: Typical white girl

Purpose to the narrative: Chelsea is a typical university student living alone. She is the main victim within the narrative and is forced to believe that she has a stalker or follower who plans to murder her due to his obscene obsession with her. If he cannot have her then no one can. 

Characteristics:
Funny, outgoing, naive, innocent and temperate. 

How the character will appeal to the audience:

Chelsea is a very vulnerable and naive young girl who will appeal to the audience as many students can sympathise with these characteristics as being young is also apart of being naive. She will portray a typical daughter who studies hard. The viewers will be intrigued to see such a young and innocent girl being taken which will leave them heart rended and in surprised. She has a typical teenage attitude which the audience will see due to her lack of caution and laid back sense of life. Her use of inoccence and facial expressions will engage the audience into feeling sympathy just by using the emphasis of her body language and delicate reactions towards shocking situations.

Villain 

Name: Sylvester
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race:Russian/British
Background: Russian Ex-con

Purpose to the narrative: Sylvester has an insidious plan to use have Chelsea as his victim and if he cannot have her he plans to kill her. Corrupt by the sadomasochistic scheme that he wanted to take out on Chelsea he begins preparation for her killing.

Characteristics: Psycho,Nervous and hesitant.

How the character will appeal to the audience:

Sylvesters scars represent his masochistic past that he wishes to pursue on chelsea. The audience will be  very intimidated by his character. His attitudes are very evil and insidious. He doesn't have family and cannot co operate in a social environment  Sylvester has some serious pyscological problems which he wishes to persue on this young inoccent girl. Chelsea is a target within his eyes that he wishes to use for the worst. His criminal past allows him to reconcile with hpwhat has happend and therefore reflect on what he did in the past which leads him to do the worst. He is a hidden character that has no identity within the clip. The significance of hidding the villian is to create suspense and curiosity within the audience which engages them into feeling and thinking what Chelsea is going through if Slyvester takes out his evil insidious plan on the poor inoccent girl.

  1. This post demonstrates some planning techniques. You have started to consider the purpose of your chosen characters and the effect it has on your target audience, but further explanation of how the characters will appeal to your audience is needed.

    Also aim to include still images, to support the points that you have included.
