Representation of Main Character

Characteristic
Camera/ Sound/ Mise en Scene
How we will show it
Age - 15
Mise en Scene
-         Costume



-         Setting

He is either wearing a school uniform or casual tracksuit bottoms, both typical for someone his age.

Typical bedroom items of someone that age in the living room.

Isolation
Sound
-         Dialogue

Throughout the entire scene he has no dialogue and does not make any attempt to engage with others. In classroom and hallway scenes, dialogue of those around him is muffled, shows he’s not engaging with others.

Has been kicked out of his house
Mise en Scene
-         Setting

Sleeps on a sofa rather than in a bedroom, clearly is a regular routine, as he wakes up there at the start of the day and goes back to sleep there at the end. Could show bad relationship with family.

Depressed
Mise en Scene
-         Body language, Facial expression

Camera




Sound
-         Music

Slumped body language and blank facial expression throughout.

A lot of close ups are used, ensuring the audience sees his facial expression at different points throughout.

Very sombre, slow music, reflects mood of the character.

Insecurities
Camera
Looking in the mirror between shots with a blank expression. Also, the shot getting closer each time shows he could be trying looking deeper.

Has acquaintances but not real friends
Camera
Shots of him amongst a group of other people (classroom and hallway scenes), he is visibly distressed but no one around him tries to reach out to check if he is ok.
Interests
Mise en Scene

-         Props

Some things that a boy of his age would be expected to have in his room, such as an Xbox, and his alarm clock is football-themed.
