Coursework Planning: Character Profile

Our character Profile 

For our opening two minute film for our coursework we have decided that our character will have these characteristics;

Name - Jayne Doe

Age - Between 15 to 20 years old. We chose this particular age as we thought it would be seen as 'creppier' and more disturbing. 

Profession - still in full time education. studying fine art at school.  My group and i chose an artist for the profession of our character as we wanted to film her painting and sewing strange and peculiar things. 

Likes - Considering our character is an art student we thought she should like being in her workshop making art. Another like of our character is to be alone and away from the society. This is due to the fact she has no social skills as she was bullied and abused when a child. 

Dislikes - A dislike of our main character would be seeing happy families. We thought this would be an important dislike is seeing families that are content, as she herself had a rough upbringing. Another dislike of our character is people. Considering our characters upbringing we thought it would be wise if she was isolated and liked being alone therefore does not like socializing and talking to people.

History - As a group we decided to make the history of our character destructive and disturbing which ultimately links to the personality traits. Therefore, we decided that the character was bullied as a child due to the fact she was interested in things that the other children weren't. Moreover she was sexually abused by her parents that has effectively psychologically scared her. This concludes the idea of the character being strange and inhumane. 

Personality Traits - The personality traits for our character is strange, weird and creepy. We chose these personality traits as later on in the film, the character turns out to be a murderer therefore she needs these traits in the opening two minutes to portray this idea. 

Three words to describe our character - Disturbing, peculiar and abnormal. My group and i chose these three words to describe our character.
