Character Profiles.

Bernard Mensah

Marcus Mensah             

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Marcus Mensah is the main character in our film 'Chasing Shadows'. He is a 16 year old student. He is arrogant, rude and conceited. Marcus has behavioural problems - he is always behind in school work and homework.

We tried to portray Marcus Mensah's character through his style of clothing. He wears his uniform incorrectly, and wears items that are not part of school uniform - such as his cap.
We also tried to show Marcus's character through his dialect. He speaks in an informal, colloquial manner. We hoped that this would represent a stereotypical rebel character.

Mohammed Madey

The Stranger

Gender: Unknown

Age: Unknown 

The stranger is the 'threat' in our film 'Chasing shadows'. He is the instigator of the events that occur throughout the film. The stranger has no identity. He wears a mask and black clothing.
We hoped that the black clothing would depict a sense of dominance and the mask would create mystery around this character. The stranger does not speak. This is because we wanted to create ambiguousness and an obscure atmosphere in the film.

Emanuel 

Gender: Male

Age: 16
