Character InspirationCharacter And Film What You Like About Them How We Will Apply This Into

Our Opening Sequence

‘Slim’ in the film ‘Enough’ The fact she was vulnerable in the beginning, but then built up the courage to confront her fears.

Kayla will be a character who has a vulnerable interior, but is doing something mischievous.

‘Mia’ in the film ‘Fish Tank’ A young character who is quite gullible and effected from her bad experiences.

We are using a girl of similar age as ‘Mia’ and we will apply the form of dress which she has and the irrational decisions she makes.

‘Astrid’ in the film ‘White Oleander’ A girl in her youth who fights to struggles with her life due to the actions of others.

We want Kayla to be a character who seems lost and alone. Also, the of character ‘Astrid’ will be similar to ‘Kayla’ as the actions of others impact of her decisions made in the opening.
