17/02/2012 - Character Analysis - Chelsea & Shannon

Shannon
Of the two girls that are friends with the missing girl, Lily, Shannon is the more concerned one and is eager to resolve the mystery and find her friend. Shannon is worried as to why Lily's phone is found on the ground the next day when her and Chelsea are walking home. She questions when and how Lily left the party that they were at and reaches the conclusion that she must have walked home by herself. She will not stop until she has found Lily and finds herself involved in the games that the abductor is playing with them. For this set of shots, she is dressed in a casual outfit which makes her seem innocent and looks realistic. Shannon becomes annoyed that Chelsea is not concerned for Lily's safety and this results in Shannon taking matters into her own hands. We chose the name Shannon as it is an unusual name and memorable for the audience as she is a key character to the plot.



Chelsea
Chelsea is also a friend of Lily but appears to be laid-back and relaxed about the situation surrounding the disappearance of Lily. She is tries to use logic to explain the absence of Lily as a means of reassuring Shannon and perhaps herself. In the trailer, she appears to not be bothered that Shannon is deeply anxious and determined to find out where Lily is. Her role in the trailer is of less importance than Shannon who remains a significant character and aspect of the developing plot. The audience may raise suspicion or take a disliking to Chelsea for her lack of sympathy and worry about Lily. To convey that she is somewhat a complex character, we have dressed her in a dark top which contrasts the white clothing that Shannon is wearing who seems pure and innocent. We chose the name Chelsea for this character as we feel that it seems fitting for her and does not seem like a 'sweet' name.
