Holly – Played by Holly Watson
Holly is a schoolgirl, which will initially make her appear
vulnerable, however we also wanted her to have a tomboyish manner to try and
indicate that she isn’t going to be a girly ‘princess’ character. She will
wear:
- - A red hoodie - to connote that she could be in danger
- - Dark jeans with a camouflage pattern – to connote her tomboyish nature
- - Black shoes
- - Shoulder bag – to denote that she is a school girl
The Intruder – Played by Hannah Cocklin
The intruder remains anonymous through the whole of the
opening to create mystery. They will wear
- - Black pants – to connote their dark, evil nature
- - Black coat/hoodie – to again connote their dark nature and also cover their head and face to make them more unknown and mysterious
- - Keys and key hook – Holly’s way in and out of the house, when these go missing and she is locked in we know she is trapped and in danger
- - Knives – used to cut the cake so initially just a normal, everyday item. But Holly chooses to use it as a weapon when she is worried, to find her choice of protection has gone, and so have all the other knives
- - Cake
- - Mobile phone – used to indicate the presence of the intruder in the bedroom, when we discover it is in fact not this phone which is ringing, but somebody else’s (and Holly is supposed to be home alone)
