Characters

Henry Dalrymple

He is going to play the role of the main antagonist in the film, as a character who has had his concept of what it is to be loved manipulated because of events in earlier life which are unknown to the audience. This role is very complex as we felt it was key that we did not give too much information on the character away in the trailer, to ensure our target audience remained intrigued and were attracted to our film. Therefore we used the subtle undertones of voice overs and a play park, as well as the lighting of a candle to signify the character only wants love. We took inspiration from the main character of Split, where we used the multiple personalities in his performance to help develop our main character in an uneasy and unreadable manner.

Aaron Hayes

Because of the low budget of our film, Aaron was forced to both act and play the role of the getaway driver in the film. One problem we faced through filming is that we intended the kidnapper to get away in a car with his victim in the boot, however Henry cannot drive so Aaron was forced to step in and perform the driving shots in his place. Aaron also played a small role of detective in the film where he informed the victim's mother of what had happened.



Isa Cusick-Knight


Isa played the role of Daniella in our production and is the friend of the girl who is kidnapped. Her role consisted of being the only witness to the kidnapping and would play a key role in the film if we were to film it's entirety. She was used for both the following scene and also a voice over between her and Aaron which we recorded post production on iPhone voice notes to signify a potential 999 call or call to the police.



Shania Conway

Shania played the role of the main protagonist in the film and we attempted to portray her as a stereotypical "girly" girl who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She played the role of Rosey in production and was kidnapped by Henry in our film and is 18. We chose the name Rosey because Rosey links with love because roses are considered to be appropriate flowers to gift to a loved one, much like her kidnapper sees her as a gift to him.


We ran into a problem with filming because Isa and Shania both live around 20 minutes away from our filming locations. This was dealt with by transportation methods of cars and trains on filming days and meant social media communication played a key role in film organisation and planning.

Scarlett & Elizabeth Dalrymple

Scarlett and Elizabeth both make breif cameo appearances in our production and would have played a role in the film if we were to film the entirety, much like Isa. Scarlett makes one brief appearance in the trailer and her role was Rosey's sister, where she lets the inspector into the house and Elizabeth plays the role of Rosey's mother, where she drops a knife in shock after hearing what has happened.
