Character Profile.

My main character in my opening sequence is going to be a typical young, blonde female girl. To portray this I have chosen to use Emily Nolan. She is the perfect age for my horror film and portrays the exact look I'm going for. Even thought Emily is not an actor I have used her before in my past experience of filming the music videos, she acted really well in that so I have decided to use her again. She has blonde hair and has an innocent look to her so it will be easy for her to get into a situation that she finds herself in danger, so using her will fit in really well with the typical conventions for a horror film. Emily will be playing the role of Ruby, a 17 year old girl. Emily is also this age so it will be perfect for her to act and it will be easier for her as she will not need to try and act a younger or older age. Ruby is the typical teenager, she likes to go out with her friends, she drinks when she does go out and likes to have fun. She has a boyfriend, which although he is not part of my opening sequence he is introduced. Education is pretty important to her but she can have her dumb moments and she also doesn't let it take over her life! Ruby doesn't pay attention to the reality of some things in her life and can be very clueless at times. She has good relationships with her teachers. She also has lots of friends at school and out of school. She comes from a middle class background, this is shown from her house in the opening sequence and the props that are used (television etc). Her relationship with her parents is the typical relationship, she gets on with them but they also have their arguments and as Ruby is an only child she can sometimes be spoilt. I think using Emily for this character will be very successful.
