Character Profiling

Character profiling for two of the characters of our trailer. As I working alongside Alisha, we have split this task. I have completed the character profiling for Emma and Alisha has completed the profile for Maddie.

Deliberate mise en scene choices will be made to reflect the character of Maddie’s attributes. We will purposely make Maddie’s make-up quite eccentric to shadow her outgoing and loud character, her clothing will match this and make her character stand out- for example, we will dress her in a leopard fur jacket and Dr Martens to reflect her unique sense of style thus acting as a visual metaphor for her unique personality.

To reflect the qualities of the character Emma, the mise en scene choices will be completely different to Maddie to represent the reserved and shy character. We will intentionally use lighter colours on the character such as blue and white, reinforcing the simplicity of the character. Again, the make-up will be simple and limited to reflect the characters and attributes.

Overall, the qualities of both of the characters will complete opposites in order for both of the characters to stand out in their own ways. The use of clothing is extremely important, as this is what sets the characters apart, similar to the contrast in their personalities. Each character will have their own sense of style which is presented differently to the audience to reinforce the difference acting as contrasting images.
