Characters REVISED

Our first character is Jack Edwards (above), who is playing the character Robert who we see initially lying dead in the film. We used fake blood on Jack to obviously show blood but i don't think it was this messy during the film. Jacks costume was all black for a couple of reasons; 1 that black is a dark shade and can reflect the character he is playing, and 2 is that lighter colours wouldn't be taken as seriously and would draw attention from the main focus of the blood and action. Another reason is that this way the blood can stand out to its best. Jack does A level drama and would therefore have the confidence to be on camera and look professional. Jack is also very reliable for this part as he is part of the group and it counts towards his AS media studies.

One thing we stuck to in our ideas for filming was Nicole Dyke playing a femme fatale character. Her characters name is Faye which is also the name of the film itself. We were inspired to use this costume and makeup from Marion Crane in Hitcock's Psycho. We have used bright red lipstick and bright red nails and smart and sophisticated wardrobe with a hint of 'slut'. We have deliberately made her clothes neutral colours so that the red is much more enhanced. Nicole is very reliable for this part as once again she was getting graded on the outcome.

Our other character is Rose, who is played by Jennie Stone. Rose is another femme fatale character who deceives Faye. Jennie is doing A level drama so she should have the acting skills to pull off this performance.
