2. Character Inspiration
Character And Film What You Like About Them How We Will Apply This Into
Our Opening Sequence
‘Slim’ in the film ‘Enough’ The fact she was vulnerable in the
beginning, but then built up the courage to
confront her fears.
Kayla will be a character who has
a vulnerable interior, but is doing
something mischievous.
‘Mia’ in the film ‘Fish Tank’ A young character who is quite gullible and
effected from her bad experiences.
We are using a girl of similar age
as ‘Mia’ and we will apply the
form of dress which she has and
the irrational decisions she
makes.
‘Astrid’ in the film ‘White Oleander’ A girl in her youth who fights the struggles
of her life due to the actions of others.
We want Kayla to be a character
who seems lost and alone. Also,
the of character ‘Astrid’ will be
similar to ‘Kayla’ as the actions
of others have an impact on her
decisions made in the opening.
