Character Profiles
Lunar Productions has decided as a group to mainly involve three protagonists within Crow’s
Field. All three main characters are in fact female; which suggest more innocence, fragility
and vulnerability (by stereotypes of the typical young women). However, with our witch
‘Half-Hanged Mary’, her also being a female, adds contrast to this concept and strays from
the norm adding curiosity and unpredictability.
___________________________________________________________________________
Our first female character would be the major main character who goes by the name
of Mia Summers. She is an “aspiring university student” that wants to grow her
upcoming career in journalism. She lives on University campus and is very intrigued
by the story she gets into, innately. She is a rather strange isolated young lady who
has wondrous interests into darker places but on the surface she keeps her formality
and sweet looks that make her academic life look rather more apparent and easily
noticed on a first impression. She always tries to get her essays done above
standards and this time, within the film/movie trailer, she gets too into it.
Meanwhile, she looses train of thought from her essay and into Brooke Evans’
unfortunate story. Mia kind of becomes rebellious to appoint, and possibly selfish to
find the best information for her essay; putting herself at danger by also being naïve.
The second main character, at a much younger age, is Brooke Evans. Brooke is 7
years old, and is a very quiet and saddening young girl that becomes tormented by
alleged witch ‘Half-Hanged Mary’. Months and months went by, where at home she
was being regularly being tormented and mentally tortured by the witches’ ghost,
however no one believed her. Her mother, ultimately, abandoned her faith in her
daughter and took her to the doctors to where Brooke was finally admitted to a
young mental illness institute for children. She then realized that she would never go
listened to and kept so quiet since then. She asks to see nobody and rather
resembles the characteristics of Mia but at a younger age. This leads to a good
relationship between them both, a sweet comfort that is hidden in the movie.
And last but by no means least, ‘Half-Hanged Mary’, the 19th alleged witch who was
hung overnight and cut down to weirdly and mysteriously live on for another 14
years, dwelling in her desperate need for justice or revenge. She became the witch
she never was by turning psychotic; eating feces and mumbling rituals to herself (as
she spent the rest of her life hidden away until her own death came to her. Her
mysterious and ambiguous story adds to the Crow’s Field mystery and horror, as we
cannot predict what she will do next. Her remains have never been truly found and
since her ‘guessed’ death plenty of recorded and unrecorded people have gone
missing!
