2. Character Inspiration
Character and film What you like about them How will you apply it in your opening
sequence
“Orphan”
We liked the girls facial expression as
it showed her as creepy and scary
without talking.
Her straight face was inspirational so we
decided to have our character Kate (the villain)
have the same facial expression.
“The Grady twins”
Their outfits show them as innocent
whereas their facial expressions
show them as scary and mysterious.
Their dresses portray them as vulnerable and
innocent whereas their facial expressions are
shown as mysterious and peculiar.
It inspired us to make Kate be dressed
innocent but her face will go against this.
“Wild Child”
We liked her outfit and attitude as it
was rebellious and wild.
We decided to make our main character
(Katherine) look like a rebellious wild child as
this broke the stereotype that psychological
films are about sophisticated people.
We made Katherine look rebellious though
costume, makeup and hair.
