CHARACTERS
FEMALE PROTAGONIST
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: She has soft reddish-brown hair and brown eyes creating
a soft, innocent look about her character. She is quite petite and short further
portraying her youth (being in her early 20s).
CLOTHING: During the film she just wears plain, simple clothes symbolic of how
plain her life is now without her husband. It also symbolises an emptiness she
holds which needs to be filled shown with the plain colours she wears. This softly
implies what the rest of the plot would be(meeting someone new who fills that).
MAKEUP: She wears simple soft makeup that is hardly noticeable to show how
ordinary of a character she is. The way she is portrayed as an ordinary character
amplifies the sympathy towards her because it just shows these types of
situations, like the loss of a loved one, can happen to anyone and everyone.
CHARACTERS
THE MALE DEUTERAGONIST
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: She has pitch black hair and dark eyebrows which made
her look dark and mysterious as a man. This made it easy to portray her as a man
because it was easy to draw a beard on. I used her as the male instead of an actual
male because she was more accessible than any male I know.
CLOTHING: She only appears in one scene in which she is playing the dead
husband of Mary (the female protagonist). This meant she was wearing a
suit as she was in her coffin.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: She has pitch black hair and dark brown eyes. The black of
her hair helps set the mood of the scene because black has connotations of death
and darkness which subtly symbolises the plot. She is quite small emphasising her
youth and making her look more innocent causing the viewer to feel more
sympathetic towards her.
CLOTHING: She only wears 2 outfits during the film opening. One being comfortable
clothes because she is just at home so she would be wearing comfortable clothes
which are joggers and a hoodie. When she goes out she still wears joggers and a
sweater because obviously she had a breakdown after the death of her husband and
had no intention in dressing up nicely.
MAKEUP: She is wearing soft everyday makeup just to show how normal she is
which emphasises sympathy towards her because she is just a normal character
like you and me. She just wears subtle makeup with no harsh colours so that
she looks nice but not too extravagant as a newly widowed woman wouldnt go
out of their way to look amazingly pretty.
MODIFICATIONS(CHARACTERS)
MALE DEUTERAGONIST
CLOTHING: The only thing you can see him wearing is a high visual jacket.
This makes him look like a policeman as they wear these jackets when it
rains. Its not vital to the film if people realise he is a policeman or not as
this has no importance to the film.
In the image to the right the character is wearing the same grey
joggers as the scene in the house. This is what she wears on the
bench showing even when she is outside in public she wears
casual clothes. This emphasises the normalcy of the character
again emphasising the sympathy felt towards her because she is
just an innocent woman trying to get on with her life. The fact
that she makes no effort to dress up and look nice when she
goes out shows she has no one to impress and has maybe lost
all purpose in her life and has given up.
