Film setting & characters

 

Setting

Outside of a house will be used for the 5th scene when Lola is frustrated and wants to visit her boyfriend to ask him whats going on. However when she knocks on the door and gets no reply she makes her way back to the hospital so she doesn't really go inside the house. This setting will have normal standard look to make the character look as relatable as possible to the audience. 

The hospital room will be used for the first
scene where she wakes up and looks around the room. The hospital room will have props such as a heart monitor to make it look as realistic as possible. This setting will be used for the first scene to create anticipation for the audience as they will not know whats going on with the patient. But its also foreshadowing the later events, the story itself is like a cycle so it begins in the hospital room and end in it too.

The streets will be used a couple of times during the film to represent time and change of setting. It also take a big part of the murder scene which will also be on the street. The street itself will be a local street, maybe with a cars and a few people walking around to make it as realistic as possible.

This house will be used for the second scene where Lola decides to visit her parents with her friend, however she gets upset when she comes inside to see her parents arguing but not sure exactly about what. The living room and maybe the kitchen will be shown to give the scene a cosy look to it.

Characters

The main character Lola will be dressed in a normal outfit, a hospital gown can be added but its not necessary, by having her dressed like this it will show her age and her style. She will have a pale skin and a few bruises on her hand to show injections done from when she was asleep, making the audience feel sympathetic towards her. She will have a messy wavy hair to give her a weak look.
Lola can have a few outfit changes during the film, the flashbacks of when she got hit can show her when she was maybe wearing a jacket/cardigan or even a little handbag to show before and after her.

Lola can be portrayed in two ways in my opinion, either in an innocent style, or stylish ordinary teenager. Lola can wear ordinarily, a pair of jeans and a jumper, this will create more of a shock to the audience as they will feel more sympathetic when they find out shes dead and she has to leave all her loved ones behind. Her characters personality will also be shown a lot more clearly. I think Lola should be a shy, innocent girl with so much to look forward however doesn't get to accomplish all these as she finds out shes actually dead, and has to accept that she is and move on to the after earth so heaven. I think a variety of colors should be used to represent her actual age and her innocence, this will also have a contrast with heaven as heaven is beautiful and lively so said.







Lola's friend should be exactly like the girl on the image next to this, bubbly, full of life and humble, however i think she should every now and then show her insecurities maybe she should'nt say it her self but should be noticed by Lola, and i think she should be nervous and change the topic everytime Lola notices her insecurities. I think she should also dress more like a child with a tiring look about her.










Lola's boyfriend should have a ordinary look about him, I think the audience will feel relatable and understanding to his situation as he is only a normal teen, but is going through a really hard time with the death of his girlfriend. I think he should be dressed not to overly but more casual so a t-shirt and a pear of jeans, to show that his style isn't the main focus right now and hes depressed with the loss.









I think both parents should just look like ordinary parents too to fit into the sub-genre, I think it will also show alot of their personality that has been reflected from Lola, this will make the audience feel warm-hearted towards the parents and make them feel more emotional especially for the older audience with kids, i think they will have that connection with the parents as they will know it'll be terrifying loosing a child
