Actor Profiles

Meg Dobson: Rose

Meg is ideal for the role because she is a teenage girl, connoting Rose's vulnerability and innocence. She also has brown hair and eyes, conforming to the dark nature and colour palette of our opening, and she has a small frame implying weakness and her inability to defend herself.

Tony Langan: Rose's dad

Tony was cast as Rose's dad as he is fairly tall, making him appear threatening in comparison to Meg. He also has a Glaswegian accent, stereotypically connoting aggression and violence, enhancing our presentation of Rose's dad to be threatening and dangerous to Rose.

David Chidlow: Doctor

We cast David in the role of Rose's doctor as he was ideal for the role with his look conforming to many of the traditional expectations of a doctor, quickly and effectively informing the audience to his role within the film. David has grey hair making him appear much older than Rose and connoting his authoritative role in her life.
