For our film, we wanted to make sure that our characters all had a purpose, so there aren't many. They don't have any speaking parts in the opening because we didn't think it would help the story in any way. We focused more on the characters' as individuals and how they represent different things in our opening and what would later be the film.
The Detective
This is the mood board we created for Detective J |
Amber
The name Amber came from our idea to have the tile of our film and introduction be an amber alert sound, so we took the name Amber to tie it into that. We wanted Amber to be a symbol of innocence and purity because the victims of these alerts are children. We wanted Amber to be a kind girl, only 15, who is known by the majority of the people in the area. This would mean her disappearance would have a greater impact on the community.
Benjamin
Benjamin lives near Amber, so felt he needed to help when she went missing. He is new to the area, so doesn't know a lot of people, but Amber was kind to him, so he wanted to assist in the search. He is a lazy and rebellious guy, but has a strong sense of intuition, so he is quicker than others to pick up when something is going on.
We thought about some characters more deeply than others because of the way we will be portraying them in the film. Their involvement in the opening will show why we developed them in these ways and why it mattered.
