Characters

Ruby - Leader of the group, she is the one filming - things have to be done her way. She is the one who is most focused on the project and manages to keep level headed when things start to go wrong. She keeps the group - who are all best friends - on track with what they're doing and is intent on them getting the best footage. It's her idea to go and talk to the park wardens to find out where the best place to do their study is and she is the one that's organised the project

Olivia - she is the more calm, laid back character out of the four. She is the closest to Ruby and insists that they abandon the project when the equipment starts going missing. She's similar to Ruby, also focused on the project but she isn't as intent on getting everything done perfectly. She is the one to tell Ruby to keep filming when the group splits up in case they find anything important, especially when Chloe and Olivia go missing.

Chloe - is the quietest, camera-shy one of the group. She prefers to keep working in her own way but is close to the other three. She would prefer to get the project over and done with as quickly as possible. She tries to stay away from the camera as much as possible but is the one that first notices things going wrong. Is the first one to go missing

Lily - the loudest of the group but is also focused on getting the project finished. She is the one to talk to the wardens along with Ruby and is paired up with Chloe when they split up. She doesn't mind the camera being there and acts up to it, sometimes annoying Ruby but she does help to find the place where the group sets up camp

The characters will wear neutral colours to fit in with the mise-en-scene of the woods. Their clothes will consist of browns, greens, greys and reds - natural colours - that reflect their surroundings. As they are carrying out a school project they will be wearing wellies/boots, coats, and lots of layers which will also show that it's set in the autumn.
