Character Description

For the role of the two kidnappers , the characters will be in their early 20's , specifically made to look like the average man. As the opening is set outside with the men coming out of B&Q, we decided that it was key to the story line for them to blend in with the setting , acting as if they worked as labourers. They will be dressed in dark dull colours which connotes anger and power , wearing dark jeans , working boots and a painted jumper to give the illusion to passers by that they are the average work men. As they do not speak once throughout the opening , their personality needs to be shown through their actions. We want the audience to feel the determination that these two men have for what they are about to do . The shot where the camera faces the car dead on to show the two men waiting patiently will portray this to the audience, showing sheer concentration.

As for the victim who is being kidnapped , she will be around the age of 18 , portrayed to be a typical student looking forward to going out and meeting friends. We see the girl getting ready through the window putting on her makeup , we want to portray innocence out to the audience so that they feel even more sorry for her when something bad happens to her. The girl will be dressed casual , but nicely as if she were on her way out.
