Character research


In our initial idea for our film opening we will have two characters, both in which will be girls. Therefore we decided to start to research possible names for these characters. The first name we have chosen for the main character in our sequence is Alice, we chosen this because of the ITV Drama Marchlands. The main little girl in Marchlands was called Alice. Marchlands is set in around the same era as would like our film to be set in, so we thought name would be appropriate for us to use. Also I think the name Alice is seen as an innocent little girls name and we want our audience to get this impression from watching our opening sequence.

We then also did some research into other names that were popular in the 1960’s as this the time in which our film is set. From the list it has helped to pick the second girls name in our film opening, we have decided upon the name Mona. We chose this as it was a popular name in the 1960's and we think that the name goes well with the theme of thriller fantasy and is a good name for a little girl in this era.
Popular names in the 1960's:
