Drafting and Planning: Characterisation

I have decided to go in depth with characterisation. This is a significant element because I am filming and directing not acting. So the ideology I have of the characters, I need to explain it thoroughly so nmy cast can fully execute the characters personality, traits, intelligence and body posture ect. So my actors carefully understand how they are supposed to act.

The female protagonist: At the equilibrium I want the female protagonist, to be humble, meek cute and infatuated. I want her to be very sweet and fragile. So soft spoken, really giddy, optimistic and perky. The reason as to why is because I wan her obsessive transformation to be a shock as its a trailer. The juxtaposition will make my trailer appear more shocking and thrilling as someone so innocent and pure reacts in such a villainous, monstrous way. I want her to be quite soft spoken with a high pitched voice. Always happy and optimistic. For her features, I am going for the stereotypical characteristic of cute, so for her psychical features. the actress would preferably have dimples, be short (under 5'5), quite slim and petite. I have chosen for my actress to have a very small body frame so she is stereotyped as fragile and inferior. Which is clearly not the case. She's going to be very attractive, modernized clothing, versatile hairstyle's and professional makeup, I want her to look lavish and opulent but still down to earth. However, when the disruption kicks in, I want her to be loud, aggressive, very hot headed, argumentative and opinionated. I want her to be monstrous preform random attacks and cause havoc. I also want her to be manipulative and feel as though she's victimized, so I want her to also be delusional she genuinely believes her behaviour is the normal or the correct way to act.

The Male: I want the male to be your typical masculine man, he feels as though hes a breadwinner, and because they are financially able and live in this big expensive house. I want him behave as though he thinks his infidelity is not that serious, I do not want him to have any remorse. This will make the audience not empathize with either of the characters.
