Planning Characters-Miss Miller

Planning Characters

The purpose of characters in a narrative are that it helps the audience build a relationship with the characters, also having characters in the narrative able the audience to become more interested in the narrative as the characters are more relatable to them. This may be by the characters in the narrative being similar ages to those in the audience or just having the same similarities could help the audience become more involved in the narrative.

My narrative will only involved one character and that is a girl. Amber will be playing the victim in our narrative and is 16 years of age small and has light mousey brown hair. We chose her as she has the main bases of a stereotypical thriller, for example her light hair helps her look vulnerable as light hair generally connects to innocent. Her petite figure helps add to her vulnerability as the audience may be unaware off her age, causing them to relate to her as a child making them become more sympathetic building a bigger relationship between them. This is stereotypical to a thriller as it is a female blonde creating the audience hold an relationship between them as they are able to relate as many may be the same. Having only one character in our narrative helps the audience connect because they have one main focus only.

The conventions that our character hold help keep to the thriller film as the audience will be able to understand her pain as being a similar age to the character in the narrative builds the fear factor further for the audience. This will help emphasise the thriller genre as the audience are aware of what is happening and the features that she holds help connect the audience because off the vulnerability and innocence she gives off.

The planning and preparation that we have completed in order to film the narrative has helped us understand what we want to do in the filming. It us helped us make changes to improve what we are going to film before we have filmed it causing us to have more time to edit our final film and so its less time consuming so we don't film the incorrect thing.
