Characterization


 For "The hostage" Film opening, there will be 2 characters. A young girl and a Child kidnapper.

  1. The Young Girl (Talya)
I will be playing the role of the young girl, the protagonist. The girl will remain nameless and be portrayed as innocent and clueless.  For this representation to be portrayed, features including ponytails with bow, pjs, and very natural face makeup (costume). Furthermore, the young girl will have her stuffed animal that she is very affectionate of (prop) and a children's book to project her as an innocent girl. 

Boo | Disney Wiki | Fandom
Boo from Monsters Inc. will be our inspiration. Although Boo is extremely young than our actor (me), we can still revolve our character around her. Both characters find something in their house that doesn't belong and seems unusual, Boo having the monsters and the young girl having the kidnapper. Both characters are being represented as innocent by their costume; Ponytails, baby face, and pjs.

  2.The Kidnapper (Katie)

Katie will be the role of the kidnapper, the antagonist. Typically Kidnappers are stereotyped to be old, creepy, and male. Although these stereotypes are common, the identity of our kidnapper will not be revealed, leaving it for the audience to interpret. The kidnapper will be wearing a creepy mask, leaving its face hidden. To elevate the mysterious character, the kidnapper will be wearing all black, gloves, and holding a weapon. The kidnapper is kidnapping these children for the motive of money, but this will not be exposed till later, after the opening of the film. 

Ethan Hawke's 'The Black Phone' Shifts to Summer Release

Our inspiration for this character is "The Grabber" from the Black Phone. Although their intentions aren't exactly similar, 'the grabbers' character is being hidden behind a mask and we will incorporate the same mannerism.

Brainstorming our film opening

While watching previously done examples of film openings, Katie and I started sorting out our plan. We already decided on the title "Abducted", to express key component of the film which the little girl becoming hostage. The plot we created a young girl being scared of the dark, reading herself a bedtime story while she finds herself in the hands of a child kidnapper. To express the Horror genre we want to include typical features of a horror film. For mise en scene, we are planning to include dim lighting, creepy setting (dark bedroom), blood, weapon, torn up clothes, stuffed animal, and messy hair.  For our first scene, we have an idea of the young girl brushing her teeth and getting ready for bed, while she is doing her nighttime routine she experiences weird sounds, movements, and figures in the house. The young girl is going to be the protagonist of the film while the child kidnapper is the antagonist. Our classmate offered her help to record our scenes, because we are o...
