Character Profiles and How we will represent them in our film opening

ISABELLE SMITH - ALICIA JONES                      

 Alicia Jones plays  the victim in our Thriller film, she is the young girl who is wrongly mislead by an online predator. She is the protagonist, and portrays an average eighteen year old girl, who is attractive and friendly and very social with lots of friends on social networking sites. She is vulnerable and falls in love with the "boy" and desperately like most girls wants someone to love her. She is quite outgoing and has a big personality, and is used to talking to people online. She is a girly girl, and we showed this by showing close up of candles and small details such as her wearing a dress. She has been brought up by middle class parents, and is an only child this is not really shown in the opening but it is sort of realized because of her surroundings.




ANDREW DRAPER - JACOB FRANCIS

Jacob Francis is the name of the fake profile the antagonist online predator/stalker uses to stalk and end up killing young victim Alicia Jones. Jacob Francis appears to be a young teenage boy, who is innocent in talking to Alicia as he seems attracted to her. But actually Jacob Francis is an insane, mentally disturbed man who preys on young girls, and stalks them building relationships with them before killing them. He is quite the opposite of masculine very thin and tall and gaunt, but has an oddly powerful and scary air about himself, and although his motive is not shown in the film it is kind of insinuated, as he is shown to have a odd behavior, and then his character is portrayed as violent as he picks up a knife from the table and puts it in his pocket, but he is not shown using it in the opening.  His age is not shown in the clip, but the way he behaves implies he is a lot older than he says he is and is actually a middle aged man. Jacob Francis shows some kind of weird obsession towards his victims, as he is shown stroking their photographs, and as he has always seen online in our opening in very dark rooms, and seems to be very solitary, and he a more tension building character because his face remains hidden preserving his identity until the end of the opening.
