Character Profile Exercise

In order to get us thinking more about characters in our film, we did a character profile exercise where we had to imagine that we were stuck in a lift for two hours after a long shopping trip and from that scenario we had to imagine the person that we would most want to be with us in that situation. We had to describe various different aspects of this person such as what they looked like, what their voice was like, how they were dressed and their personality. After this, we had to imagine the person we would least like to be stuck in a lift with.

After imagining our characters,we had to create a Big Brother audition tape for either our nice character or our nasty character. I was working with Lizzie Starling and we thought that it would be much more interesting to do our audition tape on our nasty character. We envisaged our annoying character to be loud, melodramatic, socially awkward, dominant, pretending to be drunk and having multiple personalities. When filming, we were limited to people that we could use to act for us but luckily we found Henry (who was the photographer for our recreation of 'My Beast Friend') to act for us and we're very happy with the performance that he gave us.
