Character - Kate EA/JB

Dana
An example of a character that we would like to base our character profile on would be Dana from Cabin in the woods. Dana is a young and innocent girl who is forced to fight against the monsters in the cabin in the woods. Dana is a student who went on a trip with her friends. Typically she is an intellectual who will advise the group on what to do however they wont listen, she is not particularly a popular character however because she seems to be the runt of the group it makes it more gripping when she emerges victorious at the end. She is also friendly, caring and always trying to help. Her costume will be much like that of our characters. The main thing we've taken from her is her personality which we've applied to Kate, but we've based our character around all of her. She is pictured below.

Grace Andrews
Grace is played by Sophia Bush in a film called The Hitcher. She's also a fairly young female in the horror film. She's very strong but also fairly vulnerable until the very end where she acts much more brave and eventually saves herself, after having lost her boyfriend to the crazy guy who's the enemy in this film.  She looks much like our character would, same sort of clothes and maybe a bit older but same sort of age. We've based Kate around this character as well, the stereotypical heroine girl who is useless at the start but then becomes stronger. She is much like girls from other horror films for instance like Dana above and so we've stuck to this film and made our character much like this. She's pictured below, like Dana with a gun in her hands, this shows that both of these characters are very strong, even though at the start they aren't very helpful and are very scared.

Kate
Kate will be partially based on dana, we would like to use the aspects of her which make her really adjust to her stereotype. The traits we will take are how she is young because this makes her seem more innocent. Innocence is a key part of her character because it makes the audience connect in a different way to her and support her more. Another trait would be how she is the "runt of the pack" this will make us feel sorry for her and make the film more dramatic. However as you can see she also can fight against the monsters quite well which we will also apply to Kate. In our film Kate is pretty much forced to go into the woods with her group of friends and then when everything goes wrong she is eventually saved by the Ghost Hunter Darius and they have a slight romance going on which helps us connect with this character.

Our characters costume will be fairly casual, and that of a teenage girl. She will be wearing fairly normal clothes and have the same costume throughout the film as once she enters the woods she doesn't change clothes and that's when you're introduced to her. Her costume will be jeans or leggings, a casual t shirt or top and then a jumper or coat with trainers. Vague ideas for this costume are pictured below, subject to change as to what is available to us.
