Character profiles

My production consists of 3 main characters: Luna, Jordan and Kyle. Each of these characters are very individual.

Kyle - Kyle is the most fortunate character out of the 3 as he comes from a wealthy background , always has food in the fridge and a mum who loves him very dearly. Kyle's older brother was sent to prison for armed burglary which has resulted in his mum being over protective about Kyle and in particular how well he does at school. This is because she simply does not want a repeat of what happened previously and she hopes for Kyle to live a life of luxury but by abiding by the law. Kyle feels as if his mum puts too much pressure on him with regards to his school work and he feels as if he needs to escape. You would argue that Kyle is stylish, always wearing nice new clothes, has good relationships with his peers and a love life to envy. He is good looking yet arrogant and often angry, despite this he loves his 2 best friends Luna and Jordan who you would not consider to be as popular or cool as Kyle.

Luna - A very weak but strong individual who feels like life is going against her, her pursuit for normality renders her exhausted. Luna is a lesbian and has been for as long as she can remember despite her often attempts to convince herself that she is straight. Luna has never really been able to fit in with girls at school and has distant relationship with her parents. Her relationship with Jordan and Kyle comforts her however as she is able to be herself around them. Luna often experiences discrimination against her sexuality and has now learnt to ignore it despite the fact it takes a chunk out of her every time. She feels like she is still trying to work out why she is different and ultimately working out who she is. Luna also feels as if she needs to escape.

Jordan - Arguably the most oppressed character, Jordan often feels worthless and hard done by. Jordan's mum died when he was young and his dad has been depressed ever since, this has lead to addictive habits and is also the reason why he is unemployed. Because of this Jordan is incredibly poor and very rarely has clean clothes to go to school in or a clean environment to live in. Jordan is ultimately quiet and shy, he has never kissed a girl and doesn't mind. He believes that he has had the misfortune of having stability and happiness taken away from him for such a long time. Jordan often uses a concoction of drugs to suppress the negative feeling inside of him, he is scared that he is going to end up exactly like his dad: alone, scared and insignificant. Jordan needs to escape more than anyone.

Below I have got photo's of the potential actors in which I would like to use for these roles:


 Max: I believe that max would be able to fulfil Jordan's role effectively as a passive individual himself, I have lots of trust within this guy so I believe he will take it seriously and not let me down.

 
 Darcy: I believe that as she's full of life and always got something to say, she will fit Luna's role perfectly as she will bring a vibrance to the production.


 Danny: I think that Danny will be able to fulfil the role of Kyle very well as he is also a very bubbly individual who's often centre of attention, alike Kyle. I trust Danny indefinitely to undergo the shooting and filming.

Here you can see from each conversation, me asking the individual if they would like to be apart of my production. On each occasion the individual said yes meaning that I have now successfully got my characters.

I have also managed to persuade both my mum and my dad to play the characters of Kyle's mum and Jordan's dad.
