Character profiles

The main character will be slightly mysterious, the opening sequence will not explain massively who they are but will explain what they are going through and what their character traits are, what we will see is a teenage character and the situations that they are in, inside their mind, this is shown through different styles that show each character trait I have given them.

Our character is not very special, they are supposed to represent a general idea of a teenager who will react normally as we would expect to situations that she is put through. we will be largely focused on her mental state throughout the film meaning by the end of the film we will feel as though we know her very well and have almost been though the situations with her.

the beginning of the film (the opening sequence) will introduce us to the character as they are before the coming of age takes place so traditionally they would still be childish and unknowledgeable. I don't plan on this character being like that, this character will be living inside their own mind, much like Oliver Tate or any character from a John Green novel: well spoken and articulate outside of their own mind whilst struggling to understand themselves, a slight irony if you will.

Since all the scenes in the opening sequence take place in the characters mind, they will be wearing all black (neutral state) this allows us to project emotions and actions onto them more easily than if their clothing was in contrast to the scene. it is also more representative of the interaction that the character feels like they have with their own mind. They are more disconnected with themselves so their clothes will be neutral and not especially comfortable or lavish because they are not 'at home' in their own mind.
