THE CURSED:CHARACTER PROFILE DESCRIPTIONS

Deadly fact file of Lucy Smith

Gender: Female. A female who takes control of everything and thinks logically. She figures out problems quicker than other people; self-less and doesn't let her fear take over to a full extent whereby she is able to use her resilience to overcome any threats.

Age: 17. The reason why we chose this particular age range is because we want our Horror teaser trailer to be '15' so if the characters fit roughly around that age range then our target audience would be able to relate to the characters thus making them more gripped to the Horror teaser trailer.

Personality: Extrovert that loves to enjoy herself in new situations and occurrences. She has an authoritative nature whereby everyone tends to follow her but she doesn't tend to see this. She is oblivious to her beauty and doesn't understand why people constantly want to do everything for her.

Ethnic group: White. We chose this particular ethnic group as we wanted to incorporate the 'final girl' theory into our Horror genre and by doing so we need to have a dominated ethnic group whereby it is White.

Background detail: Lucy has no siblings and she generally stays alone in her spacious, boring home. Her parents are big business people so they don't necessarily have time for her but they make sure that she doesn't do anything odd as they left a babysitter for her which Lucy never listens to. She wishes she had a more exciting life rather than the life she has in Hammersmith so whatever danger comes her way she will enjoy the moment or will she?

Sickening fact file of Jane Jones Gender: Female

Age: 16

Personality: Introvert that tends not to involve herself in occurrences but she will only Lucy forces herself to socialise. Her self-esteem is very low that she is better off not showing her face which explains why she covers her face.

Ethnic group: Caucasian. We chose this particular ethnic group as it dominates Hollywood and our Horror film conforms to the mainstream film industry.

Background detail: Jane Smith was born in Hammersmith, where she lives with her dad because her mum ran away with the local shopkeeper. She had a 'boyfriend'(the reason why there is apostrophe in the word boyfriend is because it was a person who used her and everyone but her knew that he was faking to be her boyfriend for entertainment purposes and a way to bully her even further despite the fact it wasn't known to her) who left her pregnant. Jane and her 'boyfriend' took her to a little forest in a neighbouring town which left Jane dead as her 'boyfriend' and Jane's bullies constantly kept hitting Jane which inevitably led to her death.

Forgotten fact file of Kate Brown

Gender: Female so we can incorporate Vladimir Propp’s narrative theory of the ‘princess’.

Age: 17. The reason why Kate has this specific age is because she is going to represent Propp's idea of a princess and the fact that our Horror teaser trailer is going to be '15' we need a princess roughly around that age range thus allowing the target audience to be engaged in our teaser trailer more effectively due to this age (the audience wouldn't want to see a 50 year old women as a princess so the younger and more relatable to the audience, the better.)

Personality: Kate is a conformist that generally listens to what everyone else says in her school which means that she listens to whatever Lucy says but she's not shy at all and doesn't feel insecure. She doesn't like drama or any complications so that's why she feels the need to 'follow the crowd' to avoid causing anything bad to happen.

Ethnic group: White. The reason why we chose this particular ethnic group is because we wanted to reinforce the ideologies held by typical Horror films especially ones in the Hollywood industry.

Background detail: Kate has 4 siblings whom all are younger than her. She gets picked on a lot at home for speaking her mind and going against everything they taunt her with. This is why she tends not to get involved in drama in school because she doesn't want people to know the 'real' her. But, the unfortunate fact is that, someone roaming around already knows the 'real' her and will do everything in their power to reveal it.
