Character Profiles

Christian:
Age: mid-40's
Actor: Martin Lambert
An important, big cheese ex-criminal involved in various notorious gangs, with excellent links and contacts.
Sly and street-smart, and has been involved in many important heists in his time, many of which if found out, could put him away for a very long time...
Obsessive and possessive over his femme fatale daughter, Isabella. A very controlling figure and father whom plays twisted mind tricks on his deceitful daughter, in order to get his own way.


Isabella:

Age: early 20's
Actress: Isobel Bailey
A seemingly street-smart femme fatale character of the story, and daughter of big-cheese Christian.
Grew up as a young child in amongst the great depths of the criminal lifestyle of her father and his goings-on, and appears to have picked up a few tricks along the way...
Involved in a twisted, controlling relationship with her Gangster father, Christian, in which she is a pawn in his sick mind games and murderous scandals.


Joules:
Age: early 20's
Actor: Harry Ewing
A young, confident and cocky current gang member, from a seperate organisation from that of Christian's ex-gang involvement.
Smartly dressed and gives the impression of being very street-wise and thinking he, himself is a 'big' figure within his society, yet his youthfulness and haste proves him to be very much the opposite when in comparison to a character like Christian.
Caught up in an intricate romance with Isabella of which her gangster father does not approve. Turns out to be a victim of Christian's twisted mind games with his daughter as he is deceived upon Isabella and his seemingly romantic embrace, as Isabella is portrayed as looking guilty, suffers a knife to the torso concealed by Isabella, resulting in his untimely death at her feet...

  1. Well done Ben for posting character profiles.

    You could briefly explain these characters' relationships with eachother and what sort of heists they engage in!!!

    Christian must have a surname. Christian as a first name is also ironic as he appears to be anything but Christian. It would be even more ironic if he wore a big bling-style crucifix!!!

  2. To strengthen I'd suggest you explain in what way the characters in your film represent generic archetypes.

    To achieve Level 4 all your planning ideas should reflect your research into the thriller genre, for example what thriller films/TV dramas have informed your ideas re location, costume, character, props, lighting, camera angles.
