Main character:

Bio: Eliza is the usual 18 year old, who enjoys going out and spending time with friends but still lives off of her family. She has a pet dog called Fidget who is her closest companion and goes everywhere with her. She has a sister called Rose but she isn't at home very much because she works during the day and nights as she is a nurse. Eliza lives in a remote area with her sister and Fidget.

I chose Emily to be my actress because she has a casual look and looks like a usual teenager, I wanted my actresses to look realistic and natural.

 Ghost Child Character:

Name: Florence Baker
Age: Died when 8 years old
Occupation: N/A
Bio: Florence was 8 years old when she died, her parents were Satanists who abused her, they were very distanced from the community and kept themselves to themselves. She died when her parents sacrificed her in a ritual and the house and barns caught fire. Before she died she appeared to be a happy child but was and this worried a lot of others. She was very quiet and shy.
Appearance: Wears a bloused top and long velvet skirt, wears her hair pinned back and plaited in two plaits with a full fringe, she is pale, with dark circles and always has a sad facial expression.
Personality: Quiet, shy, short-tempered and seeks revenge.

I chose this actress because she is the age I wanted, she has fair skin and fair hair which I think is a good appearance for a horror film.

From this task I have learnt more about my characters because I thought about what influence they have on my film and it helped me make decisions about what I want them to be like, for example what I want their appearance to be like. This task helped me come to final conclusions on my characters.
