Character Profiles..

1) Character Name:

Lottie.

Costume:

Past - Child clothing (bright colours such as yellow, white, pinks to connote the happiness and youth).

Present - Teen clothing (dull colours such as black, greys to connote the unhappiness).

Characteristics:

- When we see the character as a little girl, she will only be very young so most characteristics don’t show through however we aim to show her being happy and enjoying the time with her family while they’re playing around. Also want to show the closeness she has towards her family.

- When we see her at towards the end of the scene we want to show that she is lonely due to events she has been through.

Gesture/Movement:

- When she is little we will see her happily playing and running around with the brother.

- In one shot we will see her swinging around with her brother.

- When we see the character in the present, we will see her walking slowly around, slumped over, and unhappy.

- When she is listening to her parents argue, we will show her sitting on the floor/standing up and trying to cover up what she can hear.

- When we see her in the urban setting, being the city centre, we will show her walking slowly and alone to put emphasis on the fact she is lonely. 

Representations:

When she is a child, we want to represent her as a normal and happy child with a supporting and happy family surrounding her however when she is older, after her family fall apart, we will try to represent her as troubled and lonely. This is a common representation of teenagers to be troubled and distant from their family.
