Hair and costumes

Hair ideas-

 

 I am going to use ones of these hairstyles for the scenes in Lola's bedroom. In this scene I want Lola to look as though she doesn't care about her apperance as she is about to go to bed.

The first hairstyle is simply two braids which make the character look vunerable as these are often used on small children and therefore will give the idea that Lola is vunerable and small.

The second hairstyle is a simple ponytail which will give an effortless look.

The third image is a simple wavy hairstyle which will give the character a laid back kind of look.

The fouth hairtsyle is a hairstyle most teenaged girls use when they don't want to make an effort. This look is a messy bun and is used to make my character look relaxed and comfortable in her surroundings before the disruption.

 I am going to use one of these hairstyle on my male gangster for all of the scenes.

The first hairstyle is a quiffed style which is very popular among the male population right now and therefore will appeal to my target audience of males. This look also shows that the male antagonist will care about their appearance which is a code and convention of the gangster genre.

The second hairstyle is a shaved head which is often used to show a hard man image in many films. For example like Jason Statham in the image who often plays many 'hard man' roles.

The third look is a simple spike hairstyle which is also popular among the male population and makes for a casual look.


Costume ideas-

Lola's costume will consist of a pair of warm looking pyjamas. I want her costume to reflect what was happening to her before she was abducted. The costume will also show how it is cold outside and for the scene were Lola is in the warehouse I want the audience to know she's cold and scared and therefore using pyjama's will make Lola look more vunerable and therefore at a dis-advantage to the gangster in terms of mise-en-scene.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the anatagonists costume I want him to reflect a gangster. And therefore I am going to use a black suit. Black to make him look more mysterious and a suit to suggest he cares about his apperance which again is a code and convention of the gangster genre.

 



Script

INT. LOLA’S ROOM. NIGHT.

LOLA ENTERS AND WALKS OVER TO HER DESK TO START WITH HER STUDIES. SILENCE IS BROKEN BY THE SOUND OF A PHONE WHICH LOLA REACHES OVER TO GET AND ANSWERS.

LOLA

Hi Dad, how is New York?

(Waits several moments)

Ah good! Well I was just doing some revision for the business exam tomorrow but I’m going to head off to bed.

(Waits several moments)

Ok well I’ll speak to you tomorrow. (Smiles before saying)Miss you Daddy. I love you.

GOES OVER TO BED AND GETS IN BEFORE TURNING THE BED LIGHT OUT. CLOSES EYES AND GOES TO SLEEP.

INT. LOLA’S HALLWAY. NIGHT.

LUCA PULLS THE DOOR OPEN AND STOPS TO STAND AND PEERS UP THE STAIRS. LUCA BEGINS TO WALK THE STAIRS QUIETLY. LUCA WAITS OUTSIDE THE DOOR BEFORE GENTLY PULLING THE HANDLE DOWN.

INT. LOLA’S ROOM. NIGHT.

LUCA ENTERS THE ROOM AND WONDERS OVER TO LOLA’S BED. WAITS A MOMENT THEN PLACES THE RAG OVER HER FACE.

LOLA’S EYES SHOOT OPEN AND FEAR STRIKES HER BEFORE SHE DAZES INTO A DEEP SLEEP.

INT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT.

LOLA’S EYES OPEN AND SHE REALISES SHE’S ALONE. AGAIN FEAR RETURNS AND SHE REALISES SHE IS RESTRAINED AND HER MOUTH IS COVERED WITH TAPE. LOLA BEGINS SQUINTING AS A HUGE SPOTLIGHT IS PLACED IN FRONT OF HER. LOLA FRANTICALLY LOOKS AROUND HER SURROUNDINGS.

LUCA ENTERS THE WAREHOUSE AND LOLA IMMEDIATLEY LOOKS OVER. LUCA LAUGHS AS HE SEES THE FEAR IN LOLA’S EYES.

LUCA

Hi Lola. Hope you’re not too cold (laughs) oh and sorry to wake you!

LUCA LEANS IN TOWARDS LOLA’S FACE AS SHE TRIES TO MOVE AWAY. LUCA LAUGHS.

LUCA PULLS THE TAPE OF LOLA’S MOUTH

LUCA (AGGRESSIVE TONES)

There’s no point in screaming… no one will hear you now!

LUCA WALKS AWAY AND SITS AT HIS DESK.

LOLA (SOBS)

Why are you doing this to me?

LUCA

Because your father is a lying cheating…

LOLA (INTERUPTS ANRGY BUT STILL UPSET)

[SHOUTING] MY FATHER IS NONE OF THOSE THINGS! HOW DARE…

LUCA LAUGHS AND LOLA STOPS TALKING

LUCA (PATRONISING TONES)

Little Lola you have no idea what your father has done….

WAITS SEVERAL MOMENTS BEFORE TALKING

Before you were born, your father made a deal with a very wealthy man who offered him freedom from his trouble in the hope your father would return the favour. You could maybe call this a deal with the devil. However the stupid man fled and Vincent has been hunting him down ever since. I wasn’t intending to kidnap you, I was hoping to see your father but if that isn’t going to happen then you’re his only way out.

LUCA STANDS AS IF TO LEAVE

LOLA (FRIEGHTENED)

What will happen to me now?

LUCA IS STOOD NEAR THE DOOR, LUCA SMILES THEN REPLIES

LUCA

If your father was the man you thought he was, he’d listen to us and return to England to receive his punishment, or else your father will never see you again.

LUCA BENDS DOWN IN FRONT OF LOLA AND PEERS UP AT HER FACE

LUCA

Maybe your father is the loyal devoting father he’s painted himself to be.

LUCA CONTEMPLATES HIS LAST THOUGHT

LUCA

Or maybe he’s the person we think he is, the person who runs and never looks back until the past becomes his present and future.

(SHOUTS)

Leaves his daughter to sit in this cold warehouse not knowing whether I’ll rip her throat out or worse she’ll be subject to torture until you tell us where he is.

LUCA STANDS TO CIRCLE LOLA. LUCA CIRCLES LOLA. LUCA TURNS AND WALKS 

TOWARDS THE DOOR.

LOLA BECOMES FRANTIC

LOLA

[SHOUTS] I WILL NEVER TELL YOU WHERE HE IS

LUCA

So then you’re no good dead or alive, shall I kill you now?

LOLA STARTS TO PANIC

LOLA

No please, please don’t. He’ll return and you can sort things out with him but please just let me go…

LOLA TRAILS OFF

LUCA RAISES AN EYEBROW

LOLA

I won’t tell anyone. I promise I won’t. I’ll call my Dad and tell him to come home, please just let me go.

LOLA LOOKS ON IN HOPE

LUCA LOOKS AS THOUGH HE CONTEMPLATES THE THOUGHT BEFORE SMIRKING

LUCA

Oh little Lola, how you do humour me.

LOLA LOOKS DOWN

LUCA

[SHOUTS] UNTIL YOUR FATHER RETURNS YOU’LL STAY RIGHT THERE

LOLA JUMPS BEFORE THE DOOR SLAMS AND SHE’S LEFT ALONE
