Character Development By Maya and Niall

These the are actors who we think are suitable for the characters in our opening sequence:

1. Character: Lea Johnson

Actress: Rhia

Aspects of the character required: Young (12/13 years old) Innocent looking. She is very close to her family, however she does not have many friends, which is why she is in the park alone.
Here is a picture of the actress.

This picture below is of the character Hannah from 28 Days Later, who is a young girl victim in the film, which is similar to our character of Lea Johnson. Rhia also has a similar young and innocent appearance to the character Hannah.

2. Character: Mutant 1

Actor: Niall

Aspects of the character required: Male, and he is the tallest and biggest built because he is the ring-leader of the mutants. He is merciless and is the one who is fuelled with revenge of the Doctor.

Here are pictures of Niall. He suits the role as he is tall and lean, and has a more dominant personality, similar to the character of the lead mutant.

The character we have compared Niall to the alpha mutant in 'I Am Legend' we have compared Niall to this character because they are very similar. The are both strong leaders of their packs and are equally merciless. They are both the strongest and most dominat males and others fear them.

3. Character: Mutant 2

Actress: Amber

Aspects of the character required: Female, and smallest of the mutants. She is the wisest of the mutants and the others are protective of her.

Also from 'I Am Legend' we have compared Amber to the mutant that Will Smith's character is experimenting on. We have compared Amber to this character because they are both strong enough to protect themselves they are both protected by the other males and they regard her safety over their own.

4. Character: Mutant 3

Actor: Derek

Aspects of the character required: Male, tall and slender, and is second in command to Mutant 1. He looks up to the leader and will try to seek his approval.

These are pictures of Derek. He suits the profile of the mutant, as he is tall and slender however, he is not talller than Niall, which will signify a lower status to Niall's character.

5. Character: Lucy Green

Actress: Ellie

Aspects of the character required: Female, teenager (16/17 years old). Lucy loves her best mate however can be very selfish and puts herself first many times, even over caroline.

These are pictures of Ellie, who is suitable for the role as she fits the 16 year old girl profile.



This is a picture of the character Tammy from 28 Weeks Later, who is a teenage girl surviver from the infection and take over of the world. Ellie resembles her as she is similar in age and appearance.

6. Character: Caroline Wilson

Actress: Annie

Aspects of the character required: Female, teenage (16/17 years old). She is fond of her best friend and always puts her friends first especially Lucy, this ends up being her biggest weakness.

Here are pictures of the actress Annie, she is suitable for the role as she fits the teenage 17 year old girl profile.

This picture below shows the character Liz Dunn from The Hole, who is a victim and a teenage girl in this thriller. Annie is similar to this character in age and appearance.

All of the characters represent both male and female teenagers of different social classes, and so the film would attract a broad teenage audience.
