Character Profiles.

JAMES:
               JAMES is seen as a teenage boy, aged between 14-16 a boy who can fend for himself in times of trouble. It needs to be evident that he is not too young, because further in the development of the film, but not particularly in the opening sequence, JAMES is left abandoned. The age also allows him to be physically fit.







KATE:
               KATE is a kind, caring women who is mother to JAMES. The relationship needs to be apparent in the opening sequence that they are related because it will allow the story to develop and then create further moments of horror and sadness later on in the film, when JAMES loses his mother. Although KATE is JAMES' mother she does do everything for him and allows to fend for himself sometimes. However she is always there to help and be a pillar of support for anyone who needs it.




ROB:
              ROB is in no way related to either KATE, JAMES or CHRISTIAN but has teamed up with CHRISTIAN in this time of peril. This allows a relationship to develop further in the film with KATE.
ROB is seen as a strong, athletic man with a military background and this allows him to have a clear head and be skilled with a gun which allows him to get out situations.




CHRISTIAN:
              CHRISTIAN is the total opposite to ROB, he is a spindly man, thin and not athletic. This then makes him an annoying person who keeps moaning when he is in trouble. He is lucky to join up with ROB as ROB saves his life. He also late becomes attracted to KATE but this does not happen.
