Pre-Production Planning: Characters

Within the opening of our film,  we will only include two characters - the lady who discovers the doll and the girl who falls into the lake. We will not show the girls face as this elaborates on the mysterious element which the opening to a thriller portrays, so as to entice the audience to watch more and incorporates a sense of tension.

The Little Girl
During the opening, the audience is reduced to only seeing the characters legs and point of view shots from her. She is running in small red pumps and is holding a baby doll toy to signify her innocence and childhood. The red pumps connote danger, a very emotionally intense colour. This is the character which ends up falling in the lake and drowning after appearing to be running away from someone/something. She is a very significant character to our film as she is the one who helps introduce the theme of dolls. The little girl will be played by Beth Taylor (myself).

Lady Who Discovers the Doll
In our film opening, this lady comes along after the death of the girl drowning in the lake. She discovers the baby doll left lying at the edge of the lake where the incident happened and picks it up. After this, her body becomes possessed by the dead girls spirit and she continues to hang many dolls upon the tree. She wears a cloak and old boots to give her a mysterious presence. This lady will be played by Jess Fisher.
