Characters

News Reporter Played by Jack Warner
We chose to use an older teenager (19 years old) to make the news report look professional and real as the news isn't presented by young teenagers. if we used someone who looked young and still in school, the news report would look fake. We also got the actor to wear smart clothes as a real news reporter would.









Missing Girl (Sophie) Played by Millie Todd
This character wore black leggings and a black baggy jumper. This makes the character look casual and as if its a normal day to them. These clothes are also typical for a teenager to wear. They also have to be seen as acceptable pyjamas as we only see this character when she gets into bed. Sophie also wears a similar outfit when we see her briefly in the flashbacks.





Sophie's Mum Played by Estelle Todd
Sophie's mum wears a dark purple jumper dress over some leggings. Again, we chose to have the characters wear comfy clothes to tell the audience that the events were unexpected and out of nowhere. The casual clothes also increase the impact on the audience as they represent everyday people in society, making the audience think that these events could happen to them. The characters were plain clothes as to not distract the audience from the quick pace drama.


Jenny Played by Frankie Smith
Jenny's character wears dark jeans and a school jumper. This is so that she looks like she still goes to school. The character wears causal, typical teenage clothes.











Because of the change in actresses, we had to use Rachael's sister, Frankie. Frankie is 19 years old and we were worried that Millie, who is nearly two years younger, would not look old enough to be Frankie's best friend. To help them look the same age Frankie wore a school jumper, flat shoes and minimal makeup. This makes them look more believable as best friends.

The outfits that we have chosen for the characters to wear link to the research we did into character outfits in psychological thrillers.
