Character and Actor Profile

MAIN CHARACTER: Pandora

We will be following the description of Pandora from the original story and artworks which have been created of her. She is normally dark haired and fairly young meaning that our actress will have to fulfil these requirements. She is also known for being pretty and inquisitive as well as fairly wise and physically capable. We have decided to have a young adult/ older teen play her character as this is our target audience which also helps to create a bond between character and audience. 

CHOSEN ACRESS: Katie Sexton

GENDER: Female

AGE: 18

HAIR COLOUR: Brown

EYE COLOUR: Light Brown

HEIGHT: 5ft 2

RACE: White British

We have chosen our friend Katie to fulfil the role of Pandora because she fits the requirements of the character. She also lives fairly near to us and has worked with us on media projects in the past which makes her a reliable and easy assessable actress. 

CHARACTER: Side kick

Although in the film Pandora's character is alone within the situation she has someone who helps her along the way from time to time. We have decided to have a character who was of a different race so that our film could not be accused of being racist and it also invites a wider range of audience members to view the film as they can connect with the character. The character must be kind looking and acting so that the audience can trust them and know that they are on the side of the hero within our film. We have also decided to have this character as a male so that there is an element of romantic interest and also so that one gender ground is not excluded. 

CHOSEN ACRESS: Mufaro 

GENDER: Male

AGE: 18

HAIR COLOUR: Dark brown

EYE COLOUR: Dark brown

HEIGHT: 5ft8

RACE: Black

We have chosen Mufaro because he does drama a level and he is a good and reliable friend so filming with him will be calm and relaxed, furthermore he gets long with all of the cast so there shouldn't be any problems. He has also been involved in previous recordings we have done which means he know how we work and how to act when filming professionally.

CHARACTER: Assassin 

The assassin character will only appear in a small scene in which she attacks Pandora in order to attempt to steal her box. We have chosen for the character to be a female to challenge the stereotype that the bad characters in films are male.

CHOSEN ACRESS: Becky Ward
GENDER: Female
AGE: 17
HAIR COLOUR: Red
EYE COLOUR: Hazel
HEIGHT: 5ft7
RACE: White

I will be playing the character of the assassin, this makes it easy as I will be present on all of the days we will be filming. I also know the script the best so therefore I will be able to act out the part. I also know the other actors very well and therefore be able to cooperate with them when acting.
