Opening Sequence: Character and Costume

We want the character to have normal clothing and quite a normal attitude. I believe that this will relate to the audience further as it emphasises the normality of the characters juxtaposed with the paranormal activity that is of course, out of the ordinary and away from normality.

Character Profile:
Name: Sally Wilson
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Background: Quite a normal girl, outgoing yet doesn't enjoy being the centre of attention by any means. Seeks a sense of adventure and mystery in order to discover new things. An only child that isn't very close with her parents. Recently moved into a new house in the middle of nowhere, away from her friends and relatives. She feels isolated and trapped away from her home town. Display of innocence and purity.
Appearance: Brown, medium length hair. Around 5"8.

How do we plan to represent her?
She is going to be innocent and have a sense of vulnerability about her. However, she seeks adventure and discovery of new things. We will use the Final Girl theory as she 'survives' at the end at the 'villain' does not defeat her. Although she is vulnerable she is strong and willing to seek adventure no matter the consequences. She has a strong and concentrated mindset that takes her through the film, she overcomes the issue and resolves what was once the problem.

Costume
In order to achieve the desired look we have decided on 'normal' looking clothes with jeans and a top in order to fit the personality we have set. Innocence and purity will be displayed through her appearance of minimal make-up and plain, simple clothing. She will also wear a simple jacket to complete the look.

Makeup:
Her make up will be minimalistic with pale skin to suggest innocence and purity. Cheeks will be a subtle pink colour to show youth and therefore emphasise this idea of innocence. She will wear a small amount of eye shadow and to finish it off she will wear a coat of mascara. Her lips will be a light pink colour to further imply an in-corrupt, moral character.
