2. Character Inspiration
Character and film What you like about them How will you apply in your opening
sequence (what was inspirational
about them)
“Orphan”
• The child represents the Kate as
her facial expressions show her
up as mysterious and freaky.
A dull makeover particularly around her eyes
like the black swan depicts her wicked
character with a miserable look which is like
the child from orphan.
“The Grady twins”
• Their clothing portrays them as
innocent and freaky at the same
time
Their dresses portray them as vulnerable and
innocent whereas their facial expressions are
shown as mysterious and peculiar.
“Wild Child”
• Katia got her look from the
movie “Wild Child”. She is
portrayed as a rebellious
character who pays very little
attention to what people think
about her appearance.
We decided to choose the colourful hair
extensions and the black rebellious clothing for
example the top which has green writing
stating “You buy em and I’ll drink em”
emphasising how rebellious her character is
and that she is a young teenager.
