Proposal - Character

My Proposal

PROTAGONIST

I think the main character should be like your 'everyday girl', wearing informal clothing and acting relaxed.  An example of this is in Scream, with Drew Barrymore wearing relaxed clothing, mimicing a typical teenager at the time. Another example is 'Single White Female', which follows a very similar story plot to what i would like to create, having a female character obssessed with her friend. An adaptation of this film was made more recently called "The Roommate". Both of these film contain young 18-25 year old characters who are the target of the obssession.

ANTAGONIST

The anatagonist, whether male or female would be hooded when following the protagonist in all black clothing. This would make the audience less able to see the characters face, particuarly if shown at night.

Ewan's Proposal

5 Key characters: 

ALL CHARACTERS ARE STRANGERS WHEN MET
But, not initially known, two join together and plot to kill the other members after the heist is complete.

1) The heist leader:
His identity is unknown, though is met through the phone and messages. His voice is deep and husky, and he has the element of being creepy and sinister. He should be played as though he is slightly insane, much like the Joker from the Dark Knight, dressed in smart, dull clothes. - creepy, scary, intense. (minus the face paint)

2)Heist member (1) - The guy with everything to loose

He plays a young, nervous man who is desperate for the money. Though it is not initially clear, later the rest of the heist members learn that he is a single father with a young child - desperate for expensive medications that will save his daughters life. His character should be like Mr Pink from Reservoir Dogs, yet slightly younger, and slightly more unsure of himself. He needs to be dressed more casually and speak in a hesitant voice. However along with these faults, when he is pressured he need to be aggressive and violent. 

3)Heist member (2) - The good looking, relaxed guy (1)   

Much like in Reservoir Dogs, this character needs to resemble Mr White, in that he is cool, relaxed, yet intelligent. He should be handsome, muscular and clearly the one in charge of the game. He is dressed in a smart suit, and his mask resembles that of a gas mask. He speaks calmly and collectedly. 

4)Heist member (3) - The good looking, relaxed guy (2)

Much like in heist member (2) this character needs to resemble Mr Blonde, in that he is cool, relaxed, yet intelligent also, but he is younger than (1). He should be handsome also, but with blonde hair, muscular yet knows his place beneath heist member (2).  He is dressed in a smart suit also, but different coloured, and his mask resembles that of a gas mask also. He speaks calmly and collectedly., and his character is very similar and gets on well with heist member (2). 

5)Heist member (4) - The smart one

He plays a slightly older and mature heist member, who resembles that of Jacob from Welcome to the Punch. He should be dressed similarly to relaxed guy (1) and (2), and talk clearly with an under tone of superiority to an extent. A mark strong kind of character. Mark Strong

 I want all main heist members to be wearing suits, similar to the style that of welcome to the punch:

Adam's Proposal

Creator -

• Most likely male however could be a female
• Needs to be extremely well spoken, can tell that he's extremely intelligent straight away
• Should wear a casual suit
• Examples for what he should act like are: Johney Depp in Transcendence at the start of the film and Indiana Jones
• He should also dress similar to the character in Transcendence with a suit and an open shirted suit

Robot - 

• Female
• Should be young, around early 20s
• Should act exactly like a human, even though she's not
• Just like Ava and Rachel in Ex Machina and Blade Runner where even though they are robots act just like humans
• Should wear normal clothing, dress?- should be innocent, nothing provocative, again see Ava

Father/Mother -

• Should be middle aged 30s/40s
• Middle class family
• Both wear different clothing in different shots - formal wear, suit/dress and casual wear - jeans, t-shirt to show progression of time
• Father should be a heavy drinker?
• Father should be loud/aggressive
• Mother perhaps a bit more passive but still horrible, abuses her in a different way?
• Example for the father is one of the dad's in Boyhood or the military father in American Beauty
• Or the father in Radio Flyer
