Character profile: Stanley

This is Stanley, one of the less intelligent specimens on this planet. But he always somehow works his way in your heart. Oh who am I kidding... he is an absolute dork! Stanley is that kid that sits on his own at lunch, he's the one whose picked last in P.E, he's the kid who manages to get super powers from the island and save the day by killing the bad guys.

oh that last bit? yea that happens but don't worry ill explain.

The way I came up with the character Stanley is that I needed someone to be the hero in my film. And it was just too boring if it was someone else as it would be too predictable. So I need to make an underdog. And who doesn't like routing for an underdog in films? So Stanley was perfect. I decided it will be him who secretly discovers the islands powers and is a complete badass with these powers. Although, his stupidity can make for an interesting light show...

 

 

Ken (Character Profile)

Meet Ken, he's the type of guy that we all know and love. He disguises  himself to be a rebel like Hugo but inside he knows that the only reason that he is doing this is because he is afraid. He's afraid that he might loose his only friend in Hugo if he doesn't copy him and does what he says. No one knows this side to ken and he try's his best to hide it by picking on the little guy even though he hates himself while doing it.

Throughout the film Ken can no longer keep up the charade and becomes good friends with Stanley and Jamie. He shows his softer side to them and helps them out in some sticky situations. Hugo finds out eventually and this is one of the ways that Hugo realises that he needs to change and become a better person like Ken, so they can all leave not just as class mates but as friends.

Character Profile:HUGO

 



HUGO played by Jack Kemp

Hugo is a mischievous 17 year old teenage boy who attends Wymondham high sixth form and absolutely detests it. He seems to have the mind-set that he is king and nobody can tell him what he can do and if they even dare to try he will make sure it won't happen again. He once was excluded from school after allegedly sawing another pupils ear off after they wouldn't listen to him. Well at least that's how he says it happened...

Hugo experiences a life changing experience on the island, and while going through these frightful and dangerous times he discovers allot more about the himself and the world around him. He starts to learn that he cannot judge people by how they appear but instead to learn from them and make himself a better person. This is shown when his life is saved by Stanley and after all the stick he had given Stanley over the years he still was shown mercy by his fellow classmate.

After Hugo returns home he starts to put into place his new teachings and becomes head of his schools council. He starts to make the school a better place and his left hand man is Stanley. And although he doesn't like to admit it he knows he owes a hell of allot to that boy.
