Main Character- Madison

This is the profile of our main character, Madison. 

This shows how we have gathered our information and taken this into consideration. Firstly we were going to use the actors original names, but because we changed the accent, these names did not work well for what we wanted to achieve. Knowing that we wanted our trailer to be in a typical American style, we searched up the first ten 'typical' American names and took the first five that came up, we didn't spend a long time on this. We thought this name worked well since it also fit in nicely with the type of genre we are doing.

We chose the name 'Madison' in the end, we also think this was the closest to suiting her image.

Considering the background, we didn't add too much, but wanted an insight so that Emily (Actress playing main character) could get into her character and play her part well, making the trailer as believable as possible.

We chose to have her a suitable age, to babysit children but also isn't mature enough to take things around her seriously. We chose the age 16. This shows both sides of her personality.

She is an American, as we stated previously. Things worked better using the American accent, so we chose to do this. 

We noted her hometown and who she grew up with just to show a bit of background history.

We added in things like, her favourite colour,  what she loves to eat, her likes, and her dislikes. 

The main dislike we added at the end shows her parents are divorced, hence the reason for her actions.

We prefer to use her for an image like this, it gives a twist on the typical 'Scary thriller and vulnerable victim' since most of these genres have a victim that is considered 'useless' or 'fearful' and this could be predictable.

If we were to replace or improve anything, this would most probably be the hometown depending on what sort of accent she has, we will change this.

To conclude, we are happy with our main character and her profile.
