Lila
is the protagonist of our thriller film. She is a seventeen year old girl who
gets stalked and kidnapped.
Costume
She will wear casual modern
clothing, presenting her as youthful.
It will include light colours to suggest innocence and convey purity, like Tracy Mills in 'Se7en'. Further influenced by this character, Lila will also have blonde hair which creates angelic connotations; this is quite common for 'damsel in distress' characters in the thriller genre.
Props
The first shot we see of Lila will be of her in her room. This setting will be tidy, presenting her as neat and organised. It will have a typically feminine colour scheme including
light pinks to present her as slightly girly, reinforcing her vulnerability. Close-up shots of a table in Lila’s room
will reveal schoolbooks, signifying that she is young and that she is
hardworking. A pile of novels will suggest that she is quite quiet and
reserved, however some framed photographs of family and a few friends will
present her as kind and loving. Overall, this should present Lila as a likable character who will gain sympathy from the audience.
Mark
Mark
is the antagonist of our thriller film. He lives on the same street as Lila and
has an obsession with her. He has planned to kidnap her by following her as she
walks home from work.
Costume
Most
of Mark’s clothing will be in dark colours, connoting evil; this is conventional for the genre. However, it will be
casual because he tries to remain inconspicuous. He will wear
a wristwatch which he will check repeatedly, presenting him as impatient and
controlling.
Props
The
character’s impatience will be reinforced because he fidgets (tapping his feet and
folding/re-folding a photograph in his hands) whilst waiting for Lila to
leave the shop which she works at.
This photograph will be of Lila, which will convey his obsession with her and signify that he has been watching her for a long time.
