Character Representation- Miss Frisendar

Character Representation

Character representation is how the character is presented to an audience and how the audience perceive them by judging their background(family, past, clothing and attitudes). It is important for an audience to have a relationship with characters so they can relate to them and feel sympathetic/empathy towards them whilst watching them. Furthermore, from this the audience can  become more engaged and emotionally attached to the character without even knowing it. Through the Thriller genre there should always be a variety of different characters that are represented differently to the audience.

In our Thriller opening we only have two main characters in which they are brother and sister: 

Name: Evie Lovell                                                                 
Age:9                                                                                      
Gender: Female                                                                  
Purpose: The Thrillers Protagonist  
Race: White Caucasian     
Background: Good upbringing, been brought up by her mum and dad.         

Name: Billy Lovell
Age: 12 
Gender Male
Purpose: The Thrillers Antagonist 
Race: White Caucasian    
Background: Had a good childhood, been brought up by his mum and dad but was diagnosed with Schizophrenia a year ago.    

             
We discussed that the main characters should be brother and sister as in our storyline the brother (Billy) attacks his sister (Evie) and this will surprise and shock the audience which is a Thriller convention and also as the brother suffers from Schizophrenia the fact that he is at a higher authority throughout the Thriller there is a twist to the storyline as in reality he would be weaker then his sister.
