Character Profile

Elliot Roberts - is a 28 year old burglar. His first taste of committing a crime was at
the age of 16 where he used to steal sweets from the shop. As he got older he got
used to committing greater offences to the point of him becoming a regular house
burglar. He is physically strong and is willing to do whatever it takes to get his way
which can be seen as mentally unstable. This links in with the transition of him
turning from a common house burglar to a rapist and a murderer. Elliot Roberts is a
man with no real principles and his motivations are just for the sake of himself.

Michael Dave Douglas our actor fits the


requirements to play the character Elliot Roberts as
he has the physical built, and is able to play an
aggressive character like Elliot to a high standard.
Michael is able to express him self-very well
through his body language and his facial expression, which is key to playing Elliot in
our film. This helps as there is not a lot of dialogue in the two minute opening
sequences meaning body language and facial expressions which is key in creating a
believable world.

an upper class region. She is preparing to take her A-level exams. Her goal is to
