Character profile

Now I have my main idea I am going to start thinking about who could play the character and just generally a but more information about her. 


Annie Rose is a young girl who will be playing the character of Grace in my opening sequence. 


Annie Rose is my younger sister and so she will be very reliable and we will be able to organise things very easily. She is 12 years old and so she is old enough to understand what I am doing and she enjoys acting, whether she is very good or not we'll have to see!


Grace is 12 years old and she is the younger sister of Bethany. Bethany has a disability which has caused her family to be the target of much abuse. Although Grace is the younger sister she has to do a lot for Bethany and so she doesn't really get to be a young 12 year old girl because she has to make sure Bethany is OK. Their father is no where to be seen. Their mother, Jane, does a lot for Bethany and she does try very hard for Grace but unfortunately Bethany needs a lot more attention than Grace does. Grace finds herself bullied at school because of her sisters disability and at her the whole family suffer abuse from different people in their neighbourhood. Grace has red hair and is quite innocent looking. I think these characteristics will help to make the audience feel more emotion for the situation that Grace is in. 


I would like my narrative to focus more on Grace than Bethany or Jane because I would like to get across to the audience how Grace feels because not only has she had to grow up a lot faster and she has to do a lot more than any other 12 year old girl she also has to put up with bullying everyday. Although I do want to get across the fact that she has had to grow up a lot faster I would also like to subtly show how young she still is. Maybe she could have two cute little pig tails or something which reminds the audience that Grace still really is only a 12 year old girl.
