Coursework Planning 2 : Characters and casting

FINAL CHARCTER PROFILE: 

Gender - Female

Age - Between 15 to 20 years old.

History - Bullied and abused as a child, mostly because she was interested in things that the other children weren't. Moreover, she was abused by her parents, and in turn had the most effect on her and her personality.

Profession - An artist. My group and I chose an art student for the profession of our character as it draws them away from any social environment. Nowadays, it can be construed that artists are expressive, creatively unusual, and wayward (traits that are perfect for our character).

Likes - Considering our character is an artist we thought she should like being in her workshop/studio making art, and also have the idea that that's the only thing she likes doing. Our character, also, likes to be alone and away from the society. This is due to the fact she has no social skills as she was bullied when a child.

Dislikes - A dislike of our main character is people, considering our characters upbringing, we thought it would be fitting if she liked being alone because doesn't like people. Another dislike of our character would be seeing happy families.

Personality Traits - The personality traits for our character are: strange, quiet, wayward and creepy.

CAST:

Name : Daisy Gilbert
Age : 16


Why did we cast this actor?
We cast Daisy because she is the perfect age for our character. She is an art student so she has arty hands, covered in paint and knows what she is doing, we also chose her out of convenience as she lives local and is easy to get to, since she is in our group she knows exactly what we are looking for from our actors.

COSTUMES:

I think this tells us the age of the character as it is what a typical teenager would wear, it also tells us perhaps she is not very comfortable in her body if she is wearing baggy clothes.

Finding a costume:
We will find our clothes either from what Daisy already owns or shop in popular fashion shops such as H&M or Zara. Since our character only has her hands showing we decided that the costume she will wear will have long sleeves so we have some sort of idea of what she is wearing. We decided that art students often don't dress very smartly because it is very expensive to replace clothing if you continuously ruin your clothes with paint and other art supplies. We will dress our actress based on what students wear at our school, we chose black trousers, a white blouse and a green flowy jumper.
