Characters

The main character is Lucy who is the ''victim'' of the attack in the first two minutes of the film (By including an attack straight away this makes it clear to the audience the film is full of action and terror). By having an average looking character as victim, this gives the audience the idea that anybody could be attacked by the creature in this film. Also, by casting this ''victim'' character as a woman, this stays to the stereotype in horror films of women being attacked rather than men, as they can't fight off the creature as they are defenceless. Also by casting this character of someone in their teens, this gives the idea that she is innocent, once again ensuring the audience knows that anyone could be attacked.

Above displays the costume of the victim character, Lucy. By wearing casual clothing her age is clearly shown, as she is not shown in working clothes such as a skirt and blouse etc, showing her young age. As these clothes are showing a slight fashion sense, this shows how the character is in her teenage years, showing she is vunerable and is likely to be attacked in this film.

This character is the father of Lucy and is included in a small part of the film which outlines the storyline of Lucy's cat being lost. The hair of this character will be gelled to the side to give a 'smart' look to the father character. This character will also be wearing smart clothing to clearly show the audience this is the father character. This character will also be reading a newspaper, as this is a stereotypical thing for a father character to be doing in the evening.



The above images display the costume of the victims dad. By wearing casual clothes this shows that this character isn't going out to work at this time (as it's late) and will be staying at home for the time that the victim, Lucy, goes out. This shows that the father character will not be out around this time so the victim character doesn't have a chance of being saved.
