Character Description!!

The main aim of our characterisation was to ensure that the audience sympathised with the character and that the character portrayed hints of mystery due to the murderous outcome of the opening. We tried to do this by the characters gestures and facial expressions. The character is rebellious but also sweet and self-conscious. We tried to portray that the character - named Anna, is in a changing situation which through the opening will become more dramatic.
         The protaganist is wearing a dress as the previous night she was out with friends partying in her rebellious nature. Her hair was made to look messy due to the murder that took place. We made the character have pale skin and lips to play a significant hint that in fact the character is dead. She also had very dark eyes to stress the mystery of the character and the scene.We also used make-up on her neck to show how she was murdered - strangled. However we did this subtly so that the viewer/audience would perhaps notice it but not realise its relivance until the end.

Furthermore, another cast member of this opening sequence is the mother of the main character. Even though her performance is minor she is still a significant part of the opening sequence as she is needed to put the storyline together. She is seen by the audience as a caring mother who is grieving over the death of her daughter.
